What does Dawson rubbing his hands on his pants suggest about how he is feeling?
Debate Day
The sound of shuffling papers and soft murmurs filled the
brightly lit meeting room. The day Dawson had been eagerly
preparing for with his debate team had arrived. It had been
three months of long nights studying and practicing.
He glanced over at the other team who were speaking softly to
each other in a huddle. "Why do they seem so calm and
collected?" he muttered to himself.
He suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness emerge in the pit
of his stomach, and he looked to see if he could gauge how his
team was feeling
"Are you doing alright, Dawson?" his teammate Elaine asked.
"Ready for this?"
Dawson nodded his head quickly in reply.
The moderator made a brief announcement and Dawson
approached the podium, rubbing the palms of his hands on his
pant legs
After two hours of intense debate rounds, one of the judges
stood to announce the winner. Dawson's team erupted in
cheers and began giving each other high fives. Dawson could
not hide his relief and elation
OA. It suggests he is very nervous as he approaches the podium.
OB. It suggests he likes to warm up before he speaks
OC It suggests he has not prepared well for the debate.
OD. It suggests he is excited about his opportunity to speak.

Answer:

OA. It suggests he is very nervous as he approaches the podium.

Explanation:

In the given scenario, the narrator mentions how Dawson was <em>"rubbing the palms of his hands on his pant legs."</em> This shows his nervousness because normally, rubbing of palms together is a sign of one's nervousness.

Moreover, the line <em>"[H]e suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness emerge in the pit of his stomach" </em>also reveals his 'nervous' state. He appeared uneasy, which is further clarified by the last line <em>"Dawson could not hide his relief and elation."</em>

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

From what did Gregory sometimes make a sandwich?
uysha [10]

Answer:

i just read the entire story and the only mention of a sandwich says "you can't really make a meal of paste, or put it on bread for a sandwich, but sometimes i'd scoop a few spoonfuls..." (Not Poor...). so i would like to say the answer is paste but it says he DOESNT use it for a sandwich. is that definitely the exact question?
