Answer:
From the opening sentence, we understand that there are thirteen bubbles that floated in the milk.
The author described the bubbles as "transparent hemispheres gleamed like souvenirs of the summer days just past, rich with blue reflections of the sky and of shadowy greens".
The effect of the author's choice of words was that of imagery as it helped the readers to "see" the bubbles in their mind's eye with such clarity as it was so succinctly described.
The author further described John's actions as he used the spoon to scoop the milk and swallow it in such a way that suggested he was either very hungry or in a hurry.
"John Hawkins jabbed the bubble closest to him with his spoon,. . .there was no mark of where it had been"
This description had the effect of making the readers know how eager John was to consume the milk and how quickly the ripples vanished.
The readers can also infer that John consumed the milk in an aggressive manner because of the way he jabbed at the ripple closest to him in his effort to drink the milk.
Greedy is a clear synonym for avaricious. This is the best choice because the definition of both is a desire for wealth and material gain.
Hope this helps!
1st one is the 1st one bc a simile is using “like or as” saying that he/she feels like a bird
2nd one is the 3rd one bc he/she is tired of ppl staring at him/her
3rd one is I think the 3rd one not 100 % tho
4th one is the last one if the 3rd one is right
5th one is the 2nd one (I think)
Sorry if I got them wrong they are a bit hard
