Answer: A. “was eager to” “drew near”

Explanation:

As explained, something that is irresistible has an appeal that cannot be denied. When something is irresistible therefore, it tends to draw people towards it.

The people in this chapter were eager to do something with the men who stood at ease because they found the sight irresistible and so wanted to act on the feelings of attraction that they had. This was why they were drawn near to the scene.

What is the best/worst advice you ever got? Why?
damaskus [11]

What is the best/worst advice you ever got? Why?

The best advice I got was to ask for help whenever I need it because I have trouble with that. The worst advice I got was to think more because I do think plenty, I just don't think about the things I'm supposed to be thinking about.

Who do you turn to when you need advice? Why?

My friends and family because I trust them most.

What kind of advice do you normally give others?

I tell them to do whatever makes them happy as long as it doesn't break any rules or anything.

What advice would you give your parents/teachers?

I would tell them to stop giving me so much work to do, but that would be mean, and I might get in trouble for it.
