Answer:
"Most bewildering," "small white bulb"
Explanation:
I found the answer by using answer elimination. For "most bewildering," we can see that Muir is questioning the flower and looking at it carefully. This is a step of the scientific method, asking questions and making observations.
As for "bed of yellow mosses," I found this to be written in a more poetic way. This is a metaphor, saying the moss is a 'bed of moss.' There is definitely nothing scientific about that observation.
"Small white bulb" is descriptive. There is nothing fancy or exciting about that phrase, it is simply describing it the way it is, much as a scientist would. It sounds to me like a passage from a book on botany.
When I read "utmost simple purity," I found this as a somewhat religious observation. If not, it would surely be a poetic attempt, to romanticize the flower.
"Cried for joy" would not be a scientific observation. Never have I heard a researcher state that they cried for joy upon realizing that the effects of too much caffeine cause hallucinations. This would be a distraction from the study and has no place except in a seperate interview.
Hope this helps!
I would say that the adjectival phrase is B. overly excited. An adjective describes a noun, so an adjectival phrase would be a phrase that describes a noun. "overly excited" describes the noun "children." "to the front" and "of the room" are prepositional phrases and "pushed" is a verb.
Answer:
The details that create the sense of suspense about what is to come in the story are the narrator's reactions and his words "these events have terrifiedhave tortured-have destroyed me."
Explanation:
As we can see, as soon as the lines begin, the narrator begins to warn people that he is neither crazy nor dreaming. He is describing certain events that, according to him, have been traumatizing and have destroyed him.
Our position as readers is to wait for something that will generate suspense or fear, because the author is definitely not going to describe a pleasant scene.
Those are the clues we have to deduce the details of what is to come in the story.
