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:

Confinement.

Strained.

Stifled.

Choke.

Explanation:

A sense of suffocation suggests a sense of 'forced' confinement, the need to get free, and be out and about. This is one theme in Anita Desai's "Games at Twilight" where the children were not allowed to go out in the open and play.

The<u> four words that suggest a sense of suffocation are "confinement", "strained", "stifled", and "choke"</u>. These four words capture the feelings of the children who were eager to be out playing but instead were made to sit indoors. The author even stated that<em> "the children . . . [felt] 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." </em>

Riding a bicycle to work doesn't just conserve fuel, it also
strojnjashka [21]

<u>Answer</u>:

In the sentence - Riding a bicycle to work doesn't just conserve fuel, it also contributes to a person's physical and mental well-being. The thing that is wrong with this text and visual aid is that the image of the cars doesn't relate to the information about bicycles in the text. So, the correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The use of "doesn't just conserve fuel” is wrong in this sentence. When the sentence is emphasising on the benefits of cycling to work it must be framed accordingly. The structure of the sentence is wrong which gives an impression of cars in the beginning.

Rather it should be “riding a bicycle to work not only conserves fuel, but also contributes to a person's physical and mental well-being.” The use of "not only...but also" in a sentence helps in stating the real meaning. It clearly conveys that one of the benefits of cycling is conserving fuel.

<h3>What is the idea of Portrait Of An Artist As A Young Man?</h3>

The complete question to the excerpt is: Which mood does the author develop with syntax and diction? A. joyful B. sarcastic C. angry D. gloomy

"<em>Portrait Of An Artist As A Young Man</em>" is the life story of the main character Stephen Dedalus by James Joyce. It depicts his religious and intellectual awakening and the central idea of betrayal and finding his self-identity.

From the excerpt, it can be seen that the mood is gloomy as he was sitting on the side when others were playing. He was sitting there just plainly and was not happy and cheerful at all.

Therefore, the gloomy mood is set in the excerpt.
