Answer:
b Rabbit and Possum both want a wife. Rabbit is smart and fast enough to get one, but Possum is not. When they go to war, Rabbit is fast enough to get away, but Possum has to fight and then pretend he is dead.
Explanation:
<u><em>Read the Cherokee legend titled "Why the Possum Plays Dead." Rabbit and Possum each wanted a wife, but no one would marry either of them. They talked over the matter and Rabbit said, “We can’t get wives here. Let’s go to the next village. I’ll say I’m messenger for the council and that everybody must marry at once, and then we’ll be sure to get wives.” Off they started for the next town. As Rabbit traveled the faster, he got there first. He waited outside the village until people noticed him and took him into the council lodge. When the chief asked his business, Rabbit said he brought an important message: Everyone must be married at once. So the chief called a great council of the people and told them the message. Every animal took a mate at once, and thus Rabbit got a wife. But Possum traveled slowly. Therefore he reached the village so late that all the men were married, and there was no wife for him. Rabbit pretended to be sorry. He said, “Never mind. I’ll carry the same message to the next village.” So Rabbit traveled ahead to the next village. He waited outside until they invited him to the council lodge. There he told the chief he brought an important message: There had been peace so long, there must be war at once. The war must begin in the council lodge. The animals all began to fight at once, but Rabbit got away in just four leaps. Then Possum reached the lodge. Now Possum had brought no weapons. So all the animals began to fight Possum. They hit him so hard that after a while he rolled over in a corner and shut his eyes and pretended to be dead. That is why Possum pretends to be dead when he finds the hunters after him. What is the best summary of the story? Rabbit tricks Possum into going to war unprepared. Because Possum has no other way to defend himself, he pretends to be dead. This is why possums appear to be dead when danger is near. Rabbit and Possum both want a wife. Rabbit is smart and fast enough to get one, but Possum is not. When they go to war, Rabbit is fast enough to get away, but Possum has to fight and then pretend he is dead. Rabbit is smarter than Possum and not very nice to him. He tricks Possum out of a wife and into a war. Possum has to fight because Rabbit tricks him and leave</em></u>
1. A. "<span>They seemed to swoon together at the very borderland of life's mystery" is a hyperbole. Hyperbole is a way of writing that makes something sound bigger or better that it is. It's needed to emphasise something or to add humour to the situation.In our case the clue is "very borderland".
2. B. </span>"Adjoining was her bed room... The door stood open." should be a foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is the way of writing that warns you that something will happen in the future.
3. C. "If this keeps up, Dieu sait if the levee's goin' to stan it!" is an allusion. Allusion is something that makes you think about particular thing or person.
4. D. "Then he returned to his perch on the keg and sat stolidly (unemotionally), holding the can of shrimps while the storm burst." - this one is s<span>ymbolism. Symbolism is a type of literature that is used to express ideas or states of mind by using words and images.
5. E. </span><span>"If she was not an immaculate dove in those days, she was still inviolate." is a metaphor. Metaphor is the figure if speech that is used to describe a person or object by referring to something similar to that person or object.
6. F.</span><span> "The rain was coming down in sheets, obscuring the view of far-off cabins and enveloping the distant wood in a gray mist." should be imagery. Imagery is a literary device that uses figurative speech to represent objects in a way that it calls to our real senses.
7. G.</span><span> "Oh! she remembered; for in Assumption he had kissed her and kissed and kissed her; until his senses would well nigh fail, and to save her he would resort to a desperate flight." - is 100% a flashback. Flashback is a sudden memory of the event that happened in the past.
8. H. "</span>Somber clouds that were rolling with sinister intention." - in my view this one is personification. Personification is the figure of speech which gives human qualities to the animals or non-living objects.
9. I. <span>"Her lips were as red and moist as pomegranate seeds." - is definitely a simile. Simile is just comparing one thing with another by using the words "as" or "like". </span>
