The story "Games at Twilight" by Anita Desai is set in India on a hot summer day. Children are forced to stay indoors but are ea

ger to go out. Which four words in the excerpt suggest this sense of suffocation?
It was still too hot to play outdoors. They had had their tea, they had been washed and had their hair brushed, and after the long day of confinement in the house that was not cool but at least a protection from the sun, the children strained to get out. Their faces were red and bloated with the effort, but their mother would not open the door, everything was still curtained and shuttered in a way that stifled the children, made them feel that their lungs were stuffed with cotton wool and their noses with dust and if they didn’t burst out into the light and see the sun and feel the air, they would choke

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's "that stifled the children".

Explanation:

Stifled means suffocated, and it's asking which four words suggest this sense of suffocation, so I think that one makes the most sense.

Which is an english derivative from the latin word for "seek"?
melamori03 [73]
The Latin word for "seek" is "quaerō". Some English derivatives that come from this root Latin word are as follows: <span>acquire, inquire, inquisitive, query, and quest.

If you acquire something, it means you've found something that you were seeking. Inquire and inquisitive mean seeking information or someone who likes to get a lot of information, and query and quest are two types of questioning methods. A query is a question-seeking information, and a quest is a journey on which you go seeking for something. </span>

The local classic car auction raised $12,000 for local charities, the mayor is designating the funds to the children’s hospital.
yKpoI14uk [10]
I believe fused sentence would be the answer. Because “the mayor...” and “the local classic car auction...” could be two separate stand alone sentences but they were incorrectly fused together by a comma.
