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.
For the first question, item D is correct because you'll need to place a comma before and after parenthetical elements: "<span>The beach, which closes after Labor Day, has white sand."
For the second question, item D is correct because commas are only needed for a series of three or more elements; thus, no commas are needed: "</span><span>I bought a beautiful pitcher and eight glasses."
For the third question, there are no commas needed; thus, item A is the correct sentence: "</span><span>The music made me sleepy."
</span><span>
For the fourth question, item C is the correct response because commas are needed after subordinate clauses that begin a sentence: "</span><span>As the band marched across the field, the crowd cheered."
</span>
For the fifth question, item D is the correct response because in order to keep from having a run-on sentence a comma is always needed before a conjunction that is connecting two complete sentences: "<span>He works long hours, yet he keeps up with his studies."</span>
Answer:
The significance of the phrase is:
C. ironically shows a rich man needing a wife, when women in those days needed one more significantly for financial stability.
Explanation:
This is the opening line in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice"<u>. </u><u>The whole idea of a rich man needing a wife as a universal truth is ironic, and Austen's novel is proof of that. The whole plot is based on women searching for potential husbands as a means to secure their financial stability.</u> <u>Of course, that was never the purpose of the main character and her favorite sister, who would both much rather marry for love than for money.</u> Still, <u>they end up marrying extremely wealthy man who, in a sense, rescue them from being left in a dire situation once their father comes to die. </u><u>Their mother and sisters,</u><u> on the other hand, do not share their ideology, and</u><u> openly look for matches that are well settled in life to provide for them.</u>
