Answer: energetic

Explanation:

Agile means for someone to have the ability to move easily and be energetic. It means having an adaptable and resourceful character. The antonyms of agile are slow clumsy and stiff.

Therefore, the sentence "The agile youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent" can be written as "The energetic youth sprang into the chariot, stood erect and grasped the reins with delight, pouring out thanks to his reluctant parent".

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Why does the narrator compare the dirty pair of socks to a "sad little salted<br>slug"?​
PIT_PIT [208]

<u>Reason for comparing the dirty pair of socks to a "sad little salted </u>

<u>slug":</u>

A slug is a small but slimy creature that gets dehydrated when enough salt is poured upon it. It loses water, shrivels up looking dirty and eventually dies.  Apparently, a salted slug is not a happy creature as it is sure to die as soon as it loses all its water. Thus, it is a ‘sad little salted slug’.

The narrator in the three minute fiction ‘Not That I Care’ describes one of the pair of socks left by a character Marcus making use of simile, a literary device of comparison. The comparison is made between common characteristics of the two things compared.

Out of the two socks forming one pair, one lies in front, easily visible, dirty and all curled up while the other one is hiding under the bed.

The comparison implies that it was mucky and repelling like a salted slug.  It was lying unattended like a salted slug devoid of vitality. Simply thrown away carelessly in the house, it seemed sad too. The narrator had no intention of touching it, so the chances of its revival were bleak.

Explanation:

1) it is recommended for people to get certain hours of sleep from there age. the younger, the more sleep they should get. since younger bodies need to stay healthy. moving on to adult bodies, it is important for any age to be healthy. and im not saying the older the less sleep like adult should only get 3 hours. im just saying how younger people should go to sleep more early then actual adults. because adults can stay up a tiny bit late with no harm. 2) exercise is important for the human body. and will help you sleep due to the tiredness of your muscles. and can distract the mind from whats causing stress and/or aniexty.  3) no. they dont walk around like zombies.. they will be tired during the day though. 4) sleep isnt a big deal. its a HUGE deal. since it can effect many lifes and sleep schudules. its true you wont be at your best without your zzzs.
