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

OC It suggests he has not prepared well for the debate.

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.

Read the second stanza of "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church."
nadezda [96]

The answer choices to this question are in the attached file. The effect of the word "surplice" is:

A. It reinforces the difference between the natural things the speaker holds dear and the rituals of the church.

  • "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" is a poem by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) in which the speaker talks about keeping the Sabbath.
  • When the speaker mentions the "surplice," the garment worn by the clergy, she is emphasizing the difference of her Sabbath to other people's Sabbath.
  • The speaker prefers to stay at home, with her family and her garden. To her, staying at home is Heaven already.
  • Other people "keep the Sabbath in Surplice," that is, would rather go to church to secure their place in Heaven when they die.
  • In other words, the speaker is already in Heaven, while others only wish to be.
  • In conclusion, the word "surplice" reinforces the difference between the natural things (garden, family) that the speaker holds dear and the rituals of the church.
