Answer:

He is not afraid to challenge the group.

Explanation:

Rod Sterling's "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street" is a science fiction story about a small town and its residents during an 'alien invasion'. The story ends with the aliens observing the residents 'fighting each other'.

In the given excerpt from Act II, the stage direction shows Steve<em> "stand[ing] defiantly close to the others"</em>. The use of the word <em>"defiantly"</em> implies that he has no worries about what might happen. And considering that the group was approaching him about his <em>"hours"</em> spending working on a radio or something.

So, the word "defiantly" shows that Steve is not afraid to challenge the group and whatever they may ask about.

Whats the main idea of the song mean by taylor swift
Alex787 [66]
The main idea of the song Mean by Taylor Swift is that by being mean, one doesn't succeed in life. It just hurts others, and in the end, those people could be doing way better than the people who are being mean. Don't stop pushing forward because of what others say. To find a main idea of a song, look closely at lyrics. Try find repetitive phrases or keywords. Hope this helped. :)

Choose the meaning of the word in parentheses. Janet would soon regret the ( rash ) decision she made in five seconds. A) Wrong:
Mumz [18]

Answer:

C) Without Thought

Explanation:

As you can see in the context clues, it says "in five seconds" that is a decision to take just in 5 seconds?? That's too less, by that, we can understand that this is a Without Thought decision. Another thing is that it could be wrong, but it's not since it mentions "time" in here, not about whether it is wrong or right.

Thanks!
