C. "My knees are killing me," he complained after the run.

A hyperbole is an over exaggeration. The correct answer is "My knees are killing me" because the runners knees aren't actually killing him. They are just painful. The other examples are not hyperbole because nothing is being exaggerated. The friend is being generous. Depending on perspective losing by 50 points may not be so bad. Also, it could be chilly out.

Based on this excerpt, the reader is able to conclude that
Tems11 [23]

Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the excerpt or answer choices. The complete question is:

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy.

One afternoon, after another dreary Sunday, he walked home from Mrs. Cobb's with the sea breeze determined to shove him to Malaga Island. It scooted around him and pulled at his ears. It threw up the dust of the road into his face to turn him around, and when he leaned into it, it suddenly let go and pushed at him from behind, laughing. But with the iron word forbidden tolling like a heavy bell by his ears, Turner would not let himself be brought to Malaga. And so with a last abrupt kick, the sea breeze twisted around and left him. Turner watched it rushing pell-mell down Parker Head and toward the shore. "Go find Lizzie," he whispered.

Based on this excerpt, the reader is able to conclude that Turner feels _______ about his friendship with Lizzie.

conflicted

excited

scared

contented

Answer:

conflicted

Explanation:

The story "Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy ," by Gary D. Schmidt, portrays a racial conflict between Phippsburg and Malaga, in which citizens of Malaga Island are put in a mental institution and their homes are destroyed. Since Reverend Buckminster disapproves of his son visiting an unworthy place like Malaga Island, then Turner believes that Lizzie may be using him and his father's influence in order to stay there, instead of trusting her friendship.
