Answer:
The sentence from the excerpt that shows Waverly practices caution is:
I climbed the sixteen steps to the door, advancing quietly up each so as not to make any warning sounds.
Explanation:
"Rules of the Game" is a short story by Amy Tan. The main character is Waverly Jong, a young girl who becomes an excellent chess player. In the climax of the story, Waverly gets in trouble for speaking her mind. She ends up offending her mother and, embarrassed and scared, runs away from her.
<u>Upon coming back home, Waverly is extremely cautious. The line that particularly shows us that is:</u>
<u>I climbed the sixteen steps to the door, advancing quietly up each so as not to make any warning sounds.</u>
<u>Waverly knows very well her mother is angry at her. She is hoping to make no sound and to remain unnoticed, which is why she is cautious when climbing the steps to their apartment. As a matter of fact, Waverly is a very smart girl. The story ends with her visualizing her difficult relationship with her mother as a game of chess. For now, she is losing. Her mother is still more clever, more experienced. No wonder the door was locked.</u>
<span>Felicity can mean happiness; but in the case of the
passage in “The Count of Monte Cristo” where the man bowed in prayer then
became transformed from “convulsive(ly)” to becoming “calmer and more happy,”
the more appropriate meaning would be pleasure and luck or blessedness. It came
as some kind of a realization that he has been fortunate after all.</span>

We use Formal language when we are talking to people we do not know well, in formal situations and in academic speeches or texts. It is characterized by the use of complex sentences, lack of colloquial terms and the use of polite and formal expressions.
On the other hand, we use Informal language when we are talking to people we already know (our friends and family) in everyday situations. It's characterized by the use of simple and colloquial sentences, slang and lack of formal expressions and structures.
