Answer:The uni trimester ended while leaves still clung to the trees. Betsie found herself missing the crunching sound of the fallen leaves as she travelled home, the audible sound of autumn weather that usually meant it was holiday time.

Elaine greeted her daughter at the door. A candle burned on the fireplace, it resembled a small amount of warmth yet to come.

Arthur had gone to collect wood, Elaine told Betsie. “He’s losing it. I’m over him. I know we had you late and all, and it is harder I guess when you have a child at a late age but it’s not you that worries me. You are fine!”

Elaine plonked her rear down on the floral armchair, it rocked a little then came back to centre – she didn’t flinch when the hot tea soaked her leg.

It reminded Betsie of a time when she watched her mother push material underneath the foot of the sewing needle. The chain roared while Elaine’s fingers pressed the material. Then she watched as her mother’s finger slipped underneath the foot, punctured by the sharp end of the needle which went all the way through her finger. Elaine didn’t flinch, she finished running that edge, then licked her finger between her thin lips before changing the edge around. Betsie had stared at her mother in wonder.

“I don’t not love Arthur but I don’t like him.” Elaine sipped her tea and it spilled over her chin on to her knitted woollen cardigan.

The candle flickered against the wall above the fire.

“Jane told me, you know young Jane, the teacher next door? She told me that she saw Arthur at the car out front and you know what he said to her? He said ‘I thought I saw a blonde girl walking towards me and I’m blind enough that I couldn’t see her until she was on top of me.’ Then he got in his car and drove off! I’ve told him not to drive. But you know.”

“Mum, cars have always been Arthur’s passion.”

Elaine’s eyes flickered.

Arthur appeared at the arched entry to the lounge room. “You’re near the sex candle. Cost me a lot of sex, that candle!”

“Arthur! Your daughter has come home.”

Arthur giggled. “Whoops! How are you dear?”

“Good dad.”

“Come out back and I’ll show you the beast.”

“New car dad?”

“Old car-new engine!”

“Great!”

Arthur and Betsie left Elaine and the candle flickering in the lounge room.

In the shed they examined a beautiful old Willy’s Jeep with a motor cradled in the bonnet, still chained up on the hoist.

“Now darling,” he turned to his daughter. “I know what you’re thinking. Another car! This old cob can’t deserve another car, can he? But with your mum and all, it’s been hard. Her dementia is getting worse and, well, I need some space.”

Arthur’s eyes flickered.

“I do love your mum. It’s just that, sometimes I don’t like her.”

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

"The Death of a Soldier" is a poem written by Wallace Stevens. The poem metamorphically describes the death of a soldier to spring. Just like in every spring, leaves are expected to fall, the death of soldiers is expected in the wars. The theme that the death of a soldier is seen as unavoidable and a common happening is illustrated in the poem.

The line or verse that supports this theme is Line 1, <em>"Life contracts and death is expected." </em>The very first line of the poem illustrates the theme that <em>death is expected </em>in the war.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

When you are feeling nervous, try pressing your thumb a hand’s width below your collarbone on the right side of your chest. Vibr

Acupuncture points are considered to be a very sensitive part of the body. Some people believe that putting pressure on the points of acupuncture in our body can relieve pain, restore balance and improve overall health.

Human touch and tissue massage have great benefits, but reflexology and acupressure are not well-studied methods.

More scientific research is needed to prove the advertised health benefits, but many are experiencing the ability to relieve limited side effects and pain and promote relaxation. Let's take a look at the points of acupuncture and moxibustion.

The base of the tip of the thumb is on the wrist. Move one finger over your thumb to the crease in your wrist at the base of your thumb. It is believed that applying gentle pressure and massaging this point with your fingers will help relieve airway and breathing problems.
