What angers the townspeople the most when the king is selling the Wilks’ slaves is that:

He separates parents and children in the sale.

 

Separating the parents and children in the sale is a strategy that they thought of to sell the slaves faster. However, the girls found breaking up the family insensitive – which made them upset. There were also a lot of the townspeople who disapproved at separating the families, but the men were still firm on doing it.

The proper answer is “C. He separates parents children in the sale.”


You are referencing a scene from _The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn_ where slaves that once belonged to the now-deceased Peter Wilks are being sold off by the King and Duke.  The fact that the slaves are being sold is not what gets people angry.   What angers people is that the family of slaves is broken up in order to have the sold faster separately than they would have been had they been sold together as a family.

It should be a simile because the word 'like' is there.

3. Which line from the passage best explains why George hesitates before going onto the ice.
erica [24]
I believe it’s B. because his father told him not to go onto the ice and George knew what he was doing would probably have a consequence behind it so hesitates contemplating whether or not should he listen to his father or go on the ice and show his friends he’s not scared or whatever. :>

Answer:

D. Dorothy wanders along the yellow brick road with Toto sitting in her basket, searching for clues about how to find the Emerald City.

Explanation:

Using context clues from the text, we can understand that this passage is in <em>present participle</em>. This is because of verbs like "wanders", and the use of the suffix "-ing" in the word "sitting" (infinitive form: to sit). Therefore, the verb "to search" gains the same suffix added to it.
