Question

PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Read the passage: Some months later the bag boy and the girl with the orange bow again crossed paths, standing in line with their dates at a movie theater, and, glancing toward the other, each smiled slightly, then looked away, as strangers on public buses often do, when one is moving off the bus and the other is moving on. Which best explains how the character's action or motivation influences the plot?


A: It serves as the climax because it helps the reader understand that the characters will not get what they need a chance to be together.

B: It serves as the resolution; the reader comes to understand that the characters will never know one another for real and will instead move on with their separate lives.

C: It serves to build suspense because the reader is left to wonder how many more awkward encounters the two will have before they admit their feelings for one another

D: It serves to highlight the conflict the two characters' hesitancy to talk to one another prevents them from moving forward with their relationship

Answer 5

Read the excerpt from the story "The Necklace":

At first her eyes noted some bracelets, then a pearl necklace, then a Venetian cross, gold and gems, of marvelous workmanship. She tried on these adornments in front of the mirror, but hesitated, unable to decide which to part with and put back. She kept on asking, "Haven't you something else?"

"Oh, yes, keep on looking. I don't know just what you'd like."

All at once she found, in a black satin box, a superb diamond necklace; and her pulse beat faster with longing. Her hands trembled as she took it up. Clasping it around her throat, outside her high-necked dress, she stood in ecstasy looking at her reflection.

Which option offers the best explanation of the author's choice of point of view?

A: third-person limited point of view; the reader is only given access to Mme. Loisel's thoughts and feelings to highlight the extent of her greed.

B: third-person omniscient point of view; the reader is given access to all character's thoughts and feeling to contrast Mme. Forestier's wealth with Mme. Loisel's poverty.

C: third-person limited point of view; the reader is given access to Mme. Loisel's thoughts and feelings to show the lure that material wealth has upon her.

D: third-person omniscient point of view; the reader is given access to both character's thoughts and feelings to show that true friendship defies barriers of social class.
