Which sentence in the following excerpt from Amy Tan’s “Rules of the Game” shows that Waverly practices caution? The alley was q

uiet and I could see the yellow lights shining from our flat like two tiger's eyes in the night. I climbed the sixteen steps to the door, advancing quietly up each so as not to make any warning sounds. I turned the knob; the door was locked. I heard a chair moving, quick steps, the locks turning—click! click! click!—and then the door opened. "About time you got home," said Vincent. "Boy, are you in trouble." He slid back to the dinner table. On a platter were the remains of a large fish, its fleshy head still connected to bones swimming upstream in vain escape. Standing there waiting for my punishment, I heard my mother speak in a dry voice. "We not concerning this girl. This girl not have concerning for us." Nobody looked at me. Bone chopsticks clinked against the inside of bowls being emptied into hungry mouths.

Answer:

The sentence from the excerpt that shows Waverly practices caution is:

I climbed the sixteen steps to the door, advancing quietly up each so as not to make any warning sounds.

Explanation:

"Rules of the Game" is a short story by Amy Tan. The main character is Waverly Jong, a young girl who becomes an excellent chess player. In the climax of the story, Waverly gets in trouble for speaking her mind. She ends up offending her mother and, embarrassed and scared, runs away from her.

<u>Upon coming back home, Waverly is extremely cautious. The line that particularly shows us that is:</u>

<u>I climbed the sixteen steps to the door, advancing quietly up each so as not to make any warning sounds.</u>

<u>Waverly knows very well her mother is angry at her. She is hoping to make no sound and to remain unnoticed, which is why she is cautious when climbing the steps to their apartment. As a matter of fact, Waverly is a very smart girl. The story ends with her visualizing her difficult relationship with her mother as a game of chess. For now, she is losing. Her mother is still more clever, more experienced. No wonder the door was locked.</u>

You are trying to convince your classmates to each donate $5 to abandoned animals
kotykmax [81]
Hi there, so when convincing someone to do anything either for you or for someone, you are going to want to appeal to their sense of logos, pathos, and ethos. Logos is logic which is usually the facts on why they should do this, pathos is using emotions to persuade someone to do something, and ethos is using the sense of right and wrong on someone and they know what is right and what is wrong. Now knowing this information, you can appeal to their logos or logic by saying, "About 95% of shelters that are donated too have helped to save an animal and help find them a home." This appeals to their logic because of its facts and makes them think about it. Appealing to their pathos can be, "Think about the animals, they don't deserve to be on the streets and think about how happy they will be when the shelter finds them a home." This would appeal to your classmate's feelings on how the animal really would be happy with that one donation. Appealing to their sense of right and wrong can be, "Remember when you got Sparky, how happy he was when you rescued him? Now you can help save other animals too." They would know that it is the right thing to do and they would 90% donate money to the abandoned animals. Hope this helped, if you have questions please ask!

Which one of these lines uses iambic pentameter
Katyanochek1 [597]
Iambic pentameter is fives sets of iambs, or one unstressed followed by one stressed.

The only choice that matches that description is option A. 
The others all start with a stressed syllable, so they can not be iambs.

Hope this helps =)
