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.

In the following sentence, which word is the adverb?
bonufazy [111]
C) completely

As I am sure you know, adverbs are basically “helping” words that “add” to the understanding and/or imagery of a verb. (One thing to look out for, too, is the suffix “ly” because “ly” is the suffix (ending) that an adverb will typically have though it is important to remember that this will not absolutely be always the case.) That said, let’s first look at the word with the “ly”—“completely.” At this point, we must ask ourselves whether or not completely” adds to the an action word. Completely what? Completely answered. Thus, we have a better understanding of how things were answered—completely. Though, however, there is another verb in the sentence—“leaving”—there is not a word that helps or adds to it.
