Answer:
b) The cries and laughter of children filled the air as they waded through the fountain, avoiding the different spouts of water.
Explanation:
When Cassandra hears weeping and laughing kids wading through the fountain in Washington Square Park on a beautiful day, it's the line from the narrative that most captures her sentiments about being there. This sentence indicates that Cassandra is enjoying the sights and sounds of the park on a beautiful day.
- a) She sighed and opened her eyes to the magnificent Washington Square Arch. Cassandra's feelings about being in the park are not revealed in this line. Based on the fact that she sighed before opening her eyes, we can only presume she was tired or bored.
- c) Some students lounged on the grass, while others played instruments as they went around the park. This sentence does not indicate Cassandra's feelings about being in the park. We can only assume she was taken aback by the variety of people she saw while strolling around the park.
- d) It seemed as though the fountain water at Washington Square Park Fountain was encrusted with hundreds of diamonds. This sentence does not indicate Cassandra's feelings about being in the park. We can only speculate as to why she was unable to speak or respond to the sight of the fountain.
The best description of Kenneth, based on this excerpt is, He is trying to convince Xavier to sell the farm.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
The passage is a conversation between Xavier and Kenneth where Xavier is unhappy with his grandmother’s idea of him being a farmer. So he expresses his concern with Kenneth.
From the excerpt we can see that it was Xavier who was speaking most of the time, while Kenneth was simply relaxed and he didn’t interact much.
It was only at the end of the conversation when Kenneth gives an idea to Xavier that apart from farming, one thing which he can do is to sell it.
Kenneth in a way is trying to assure Xavier that he don’t need to farm if he don’t feel like, just sell the farm and his problem will be solved.
