Answer 2

so which statement does the man think back about something he's already experienced instead of thinking about what' happening in the moment?

Answer 3

A

Answer 4

hm, A is a good attempt but there's a better option among choices B C and D

Answer 5

D

Answer 6

let's look at choice B

When he had started, he was so full of optimism, his pack heavy but his spirits light.

this sentence is all about what he felt/experienced in the past, nothing about what's going on in the present and future

so choice B stands out as the best candidate

Answer 7

Which choice best describes how this excerpt entertains readers?

Suda stands before his easel and stares at the empty canvas a moment. Then he takes his paintbrush and slowly, carefully begins his work, as the simple, clear form of an animal begins to take shape. A typical scene of an artist at work? Yes, except for one small detail—Suda is an elephant.

A. It creates suspense by making readers wonder who is painting.

B. It surprises readers by withholding information at first.

C. A.It creates a clear image in readers’ minds with sensory language.

D. A.It uses foreshadowing to make readers anticipate what is coming next.

Answer 8

any ideas? as a hint, the author doesn't tell you that Suda is an animal, making you assume he's a human at first

Answer 9

D.

Answer 10

the author ~hides~ the fact that Suda is an animal
thereby making B the best choice
