Question

What does this interaction between Miss Fairchild and Easton imply about the role of the ambassador in their life?

The ambassador is an older relative who has taken Miss Fairchild under his wing.

The ambassador was once Easton's rival for Miss Fairchild's love.

Miss Fairchild was engaged to marry the ambassador but broke off the engagement.

The three characters were close friends, but have drifted apart.

Answer 1

This interaction is between Miss Fairchild and Easton:

I saw this opening in the West, and--well, a marshalship isn't quite as high a position as that of ambassador, but--"

"The ambassador," said the girl, warmly, "doesn't call any more. He needn't ever have done so. You ought to know that. And so now you are one of these dashing Western heroes, and you ride and shoot and go into all kinds of dangers. That's different from the Washington life. You have been missed from the old crowd."

Answer 17

How does the interaction between the two unnamed passengers at the end of the story advance the plot?

Their dialogue shows that the three main characters' conversation has been overheard.

The speaker of the last line reveals the surprise twist at the core of the story.

The two men deepen the mystery about Easton's and the marshal's behavior.

The unnamed men's participation in the scene resolves the main characters' conflict I think its C

Answer 18

Well im not gonna make you read a whole story...... but which one do you think it might be D or B

Answer 19

Did you say D?

Answer 20

Read this sentence from the story:

He slightly raised his right hand, bound at the wrist by the shining "bracelet" to the left one of his companion.

Why does the author refer to Easton's handcuffs as "the shining bracelet"?

By describing the handcuffs positively, it contributes to the plot line about concealing the fact that Easton is a criminal.

By comparing the handcuffs to a bracelet, it contributes to the plot line that Easton's detainment is only temporary.

It develops Easton as an optimistic character.

It implies that Easton does not take his situation seriously.

I think D

Answer 29

Answer 30

Part A

What effect does the word choice in this excerpt have on the meaning of Paragraph 1?

Now some millmen want to cut all the Calaveras trees into lumber and money. But we have found a better use for them. No doubt these trees would make good lumber after passing through a sawmill, as George Washington after passing through the hands of a French cook would have made good food.

It provides support for using redwood trees for lumber by emphasizing their size and strength.

It makes the comparison between redwood trees and Washington to develop a patriotic tone.

It develops the idea that it is ridiculous to use rare and majestic redwood trees for lumber.

It contrasts lumber from redwood trees and French cooking to demonstrate the inferiority of the trees.
Part B

How does the meaning of the word choice developed in Part A affect the significance of Paragraph 1?

It elaborates on the claim that redwood trees should be conserved, especially because there are better quality lumber sources.

It develops the claim that it is the duty of citizens to support the growth of the lumber industry by approving the use of redwood trees for lumber.

It refines the claim that the qualities and abundance of redwood trees makes them an ideal source of lumber.

It supports the claim that redwood trees should be protected, especially when there are more appropriate lumber sources.
