Reread paragraphs 13-15 of “Priscilla and the Wimps” and paragraphs 12-15 of “All Summer in a Day.” Then answer the multiple-cho

ice questions that follow.
From “Priscilla and the Wimps” by Richard Peck

13 “Okay, let’s see your pass,” snarls the Kobra.


14 “A pass for what this time?” Melvin asks, probably still dazed.


15“Let’s call it a pass for very short people,” says the Kobra, “a dwarf tax.” He wheezes a little Kobra chuckle at his own wittiness. And already he’s reaching for Melvin’s wallet with the hand that isn’t circling Melvin’s windpipe. All this time, of course, Melvin and the Kobra are standing in Priscilla’s big shadow.

From “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury

12 Margot stood apart from them, from these children who could not ever remember a time when there wasn’t rain and rain and rain. They were all nine years old, and if there had been a day, seven years ago, when the sun came out for an hour and showed its face to the stunned world, they could not recall. Sometimes, at night, she heard them stir, in remembrance, and she knew they were dreaming and remembering gold or a yellow crayon or a coin large enough to buy the world with. She knew they thought they remembered a warmness, like a blushing in the face, in the body, in the arms and legs and trembling hands. But then they always awoke to the tatting drum, the endless shaking down of clear bead necklaces upon the roof, the walk, the gardens, the forests, and their dreams were gone.


13 All day yesterday they had read in class about the sun. About how like a lemon it was, and how hot. And they had written small stories or essays or poems about it: I think the sun is a flower, That blooms for just one hour. That was Margot’s poem, read in a quiet voice in the still classroom while the rain was falling outside.


14 "Aw, you didn’t write that!" protested one of the boys.


15 "I did," said Margot. "I did."

What makes Kennedy stand out over Nixon?
lapo4ka [179]

What made Kennedy stand out was his use of a striking black suit.

<h3>Why was Kennedy's outfit important?</h3>
  • Because he gave an air of authority to the public.
  • Because it made his image more striking and expressive than Nixon's.
  • Because it attracts the attention of the public.

The question is referring to the debate held between Nixon and Kennedy during the presidential race in 1960. The debate was televised and photographed, allowing the entire American population to see and hear the two candidates. However, color media was not popular at the time and people viewed the debate and its participants in black and white.

This was advantageous for Kennedy who wore a black suit, while Nixon wore a gray suit. This made Kennedy's image stand out and catch the public's attention more effectively.
