Which two traits can you infer about Mira in this excerpt from “Games at Twilight” by Anita Desai?. The children, too, felt rele

ased. They too began tumbling, shoving, pushing against each other, frantic to start. Start what? Start their business. The business of the children’s day which is—play. “Let’s play hide-and-seek.” “Who’ll be It?” “You be It.” “Why should I? You be——” “You’re the eldest——” “That doesn’t mean——” The shoves became harder. Some kicked out. The motherly Mira intervened. She pulled the boys roughly apart. There was a tearing sound of cloth, but it was lost in the heavy panting and angry grumbling, and no one paid attention to the small sleeve hanging loosely off a shoulder. “Make a circle, make a circle!” she shouted, firmly pulling and pushing till a kind of vague circle was formed. “Now clap!” she roared, and, clapping, they all chanted in melancholy unison: “Dip, dip, dip—my blue ship——” and every now and then one or the other saw he was safe by the way his hands fell at the crucial moment—palm on palm, or back of hand on palm—and dropped out of the circle with a yell and a jump of relief and jubilation. A) Mira is more mature than the other kids in the group. B) Mira is acting like a leader for the group of children. c) Mira is pushing around the other kids and hoping to win the game. D) Mira is arrogant and haughty and tries to disrupt the kids’ games.

This is my topic pls help me: Some people view this novel as a romance, which others see it as far too cynical to be considered
kotegsom [21]

Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about "The Great Gatsby".

Answer and Explanation:

Although "The Great Gatsby" has some romantic elements, I believe that the story goes far beyond that, not allowing me to see it as a romantic and sentimental story. On the contrary, I believe that "The great Gastsby" presents the domination of money, the American dream and the imbalance between the social classes that the country presents. The book shows how all these factors, acting together, interfere in the lives of citizens, in all possible elements, even in love.

That old house looked spookier <u>than</u> any other house in the neighborhood.

An adverb clause is a collection of words this is used to exchange or qualify the meaning of an adjective, a verb, a clause, any other adverb, or another sort of word or phrase except determiners and adjectives that immediately regulate nouns. Adverb clauses usually meet three necessities: First, an adverb clause continually consists of a subject and a verb. Second, adverb clauses comprise subordinate conjunctions that prevent them from containing complete thoughts and becoming complete sentences. Third, all adverb clauses solution one of the conventional adverb questions: while? Why? How? where?

An adverb of time states when something happens or how often. An adverb of time often starts with one of the following subordinating conjunctions: after, as, as long as, as soon as, before, no sooner than, since, until, when, or while.

An adverb of manner states how something is done. An adverb of manner often starts with one of the following subordinating conjunctions: as, like, or the way.
