Which sentence best uses the word shell in the sense of "a bombshell"?

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Definition of a "bombshell": (noun) an overwhelming surprise or disappointment.

Using the method of elimination, we can immediately write off options B and D, because they have nothing to do with surprise or disappointment. This leaves A and C. C, while seeming tedious and hinting at some sort of emotion, talks about the physical shell of a pea, which isn't surprise or disappointment. We can now deduct that A is the right answer.

"After the shock" tells us that the subject of the sentence has just gone through a very startling revelation. Because our word is "bombshell", we can rightfully assume that this revelation was overwhelmingly surprising or disappointing.

"He was a shell of the person he once had been" implies that the subject of the sentence is no longer the same after this shocking news. Because the word "bombshell" is tied with intense emotion and surprise, the way "shell" is used to describe the subject would be an appropriate use of the word "bombshell".

What does the author convey with the statement, "the light goes out of the marsh"?
blagie [28]
This happens when Ruby becomes disappointed with Tom when the hose leaks and Ruby can no longer dive. The two stop hanging out, and Tom loses her friendship. 

The light, then, is the light that her friendship brought to his life. Her friendship is light -- it is happiness and is joy to Tom. When the two friends stop hanging out, the light goes out of the marsh. The author is saying the joy has gone out of Tom's life.
