Ok, so technically, you have to answer if you think that Martys parents suspect if hes keeping the dog, if your answer is No or Yes you write it, then you go back to the book and write from the book whatever it is that supports your answer. then after that you have to explain if you think hes doing a good job hiding the dog.
hope i kind of helped :)
I would estimate that the first one is the answer.
I looked up the summary(s) for both the passages, and 'to build a fire' is about a guy who despite everything being against him, being persistent and dying because of his actions, while 'gumption' is about the hardships of african americans.
Of course, this is just my estimation.
The R.ape of the Lock is a mock-heroic narrative poem written by Alexander Pope, using the heroic couplet.
A couplet refers to a stanza consisting of two lines only, and heroic means that each of these two lines is written using rhyming iambic pentameters. Iamb means that an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed one. Pentameter means that there are 5 meters in one line (penta = 5), and given that one meter equals two syllables, pentameter is a line consisting of 10 syllables.
