This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Lourdes hadn’t bothered to study for the essay exam, joking that her motto was "fake it ‘til you make it." Now, as she stared in horror at the test booklet, the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers. What kind of figurative language is used?
a. personification
b. simile
c. metaphor
d. hyperbole
Answer:
The kind of figurative language being used is:
a. personification
Explanation:
<u>Personification is a common figure of speech in literary works. Personification happens when an author gives living qualities to non-living things.</u> For instance, if the speaker of a poem says that the wind and the leaves are dancing during fall, he is using personification. Wind and leaves are not humans; they do not dance. However, by saying so, the speaker makes the movements of the leaves being carried by the wind more artistic, more vivid even.
<u>The same happens when the author of the passage we are analyzing says, "the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers." Blank pages are not beings, much less conscious beings. They cannot know anything or laugh at all. But, by phrasing it this way, the author makes it seem that Lourdes is being mocked, that her fate is quite an ironic one.</u>
Answer:
While Miss Stephanie seemed to feed on the gossip and her approach to the blacks seemed the same like the majority of Maycomb's residents, Miss Maudie seemed disinterested in the case. And even if she is interested, she seems to not show it. Rather, she'd prefer to stay at home and observe it. Moreover, she feels it's unfair to enjoy seeing a man fighting for his life, terming it to be akin to <em>"a Roman Carnival"</em>.
Explanation:
Harper Lee's <em>To Kill A Mockingbird</em> deals with the lives of the American South, with special focus on the racially charged Tom Robinson's trial. Miss Maudie is also one character of the story who seemed minor but provides lots of meaning to the many events in the story.
In chapter 16, when the townspeople were all eager to go to court to observe the ongoing trial of ra pe accused Tom Robinson against the Ewells. But Miss Maudie did not go or seemed interested in it, rather claiming that <em>"it's morbid, watching a poor devil on trial for his life"</em> and termed it <em>"a Roman carnival"</em>.
On the other hand, Miss Stephanie Crawford was all dressed up in her finery, with <em>"hat and gloves"</em> to be a part of <em>"the gala occasion"</em> as Scout put it. She claims that she's going to the court <em>"to see what Atticus’s up to"</em> but at the same time, considering her gossipy nature, she most likely went to learn and feed her curiosity. Moreover, she is like the other whites around Maycomb who were too conscious of the racial difference while Miss Maudie seemed more supportive of Atticus' support of defending a black man.
Miss Maudie supports Atticus' cause of defending Tom, admitting that even though he lost the case, it was still a work in progress. In chapter 22, she told the children that <em>"we’re making a step—it’s just a baby-step, but it’s a step"</em>, seemingly signifying to the changes that are to come in the future.

so its a. punishing
I Think It should be 10. Cause If Something Is Not 5 or higher it can't be Rounded to the next number. since 3 is a low number it'd be 0 which means it would probably stay as 10
