The <em>older violins</em> are more than one object, in this case its cannot be used, only their; <em>each violinist</em> could mean male or female, so it would be possible the use of his or her or their (applied for either),but there is only the latter option. The correct answer is their/their.
<em>The older violins no longer had their original parts, but each violinist played their instrument well.</em>
Adverb clause: <em />because all of the hens had been painted blue.
Subordinate conjunction: because
Word modified: squawked
In this excerpt Marcus faces the conflict that his father doesn't agree with him. This type of conflict is called "Man vs. Man" It is the most common type of conflict in a piece of literature, it is also known as interpersonal conflict. In a man vs. man conflict, the protagonist, Marcus, feels something different than another character or the antagonist. This is the type of conflict that Marcus faces.
Hope this helps! :)
So A doesn’t really go with it so you can rule that out. The main character doesn’t get introduced can you can rule out D too. It’s between B and C. I honestly would go with C the author sets up the hook of the story.
