My sister and I were looking for a snack. Way in the back of the refrigerator, I spotted two of our favorite yogurts. Perfect! W

hen I pulled them out, I noticed the wrapper edges were frayed. It looked like they may have been there a while, and one of the containers was smashed in. My sister didn’t care and was already running for a spoon. “Careful,” I said, “Where there is smoke there’s fire. These yogurts look kind of funny. And I can’t even read the expiration date.”
“You just want them for yourself,” she said, as she ripped off the wrapper. “Yikes!” she yelled, and we both held our noses.

What is the meaning of the adage in the paragraph?

A.If something looks wrong, then it probably is wrong.

B.Greediness is an unattractive quality.

C.Pay attention to the advice of those who know better.

D.It is not wise to make hasty decisions.

The correct answer is A.

Earlier in the chapter, Woolf writes: It was disappointing not to have brought back in the evening some important statement, some authentic <span>fact.
</span>
Thus, she wants facts to back up her claim.

By citing a historian, Woolf is making it clear that she is basing her argument on facts. Otherwise, one might claim she is exaggerating or making up stories. Instead, she is saying that such customs were fact and considered commonplace by both "high as well as low."

Which sentence would best improve the description in the setting of a story?My grandmother used to tell me that dogs and ponies
Zielflug [23.3K]

Hello!

The answer should be the second sentence: Blowing wildly, the icy winter wind tore my woolen cap from my head, as it makes the most sense.

________________________________________________________

The setting is the time and location of a story. (Where and when it takes place).

The first sentence definitely wouldn't improve improve the description in the setting of a story, nor would the last. The third sentence includes the location (basketball game), but does not describe it.
