C. I took this test before. Don't sweat it! As long as you read, and maybe have the book with you to help! I hope you do great!
The correct answer is The alligator slipped quietly into the water.
The first sentence does not agree since alligators should be a singular form, while the second and third are nonsensical because of lack of information.
She means that being a black southerner sucked, but it sucked even worse in the hot summer afternoons, which were hot and humid and uncomfortable and by which time everybody had been working hard all day, than in the mornings, when it was more comfortable and people had just gotten out of bed and weren't completely awake and aware of their lousy situation in life.
Answer:
Muir starts off talking about how long he had been sitting by the Calypso-so long that he wasn't tired or hungry anymore. We, as the readers, think he has a bad attitude about sitting by this plant.
Explanation:
We think this because it seems like he is describing his wait as painful(he is WAY past being tired or hungry). However, the next sentence contrasts with this idea. When the sun sets, Muir suddenly gets this jolt of purpose and energy, stronger and determined than ever before. Can you see the pattern here? As for the dialogue, it is a woman speaking, and she lives in the log house he sees. She has a negative attitude towards the swamp, while Muir has a positive one. She wonders why he would want to be in a dangerous place like the swamp, explaining that a body was found in it. She then goes on to say that it was God's mercy that Muir was able to get out of the mucky swamp.
