Read the passage

SmokeyBrown:

So, I think "bitter as gall" means "hateful" as it is used in the passage I guess the stepmother's insults and anger towards her stepdaugher are strong indications of this

bill533:

is the 2nd one C ?

SmokeyBrown:

I think the main point of the introduction is to establish Thallijyeh as a sympathetic character. I think the main details pointing to this are the fact that Thallijyeh's mother died and the fact that her father takes no notice of her

bill533:

OK and was the first part is the 2nd one C ?

SmokeyBrown:

Yea, I think so

bill533:

ok and Thallijyeh's mother died underlined in this question ?

bill533:

what is underlined for me to pick

bill533:

i got her father takes no notice of her underlined i got that one but the other i'm trying to find out

SmokeyBrown:

Oh there's a bit that mentions her mother dying at the end of the first paragraph

bill533:

she died with her newborn daughter ?

SmokeyBrown:

Yeah that's the one

SmokeyBrown:

I guess, first she enjoys simple things, supported by her enjoyment of the natural world around her

bill533:

1. ? and 2. A

SmokeyBrown:

Yeah, I'd say B for the first one, and I agree that A's a good choice for the second

bill533:

oh i'm sorry i didn't get it at first

SmokeyBrown:

SmokeyBrown:

Well, I don't think I can offer much help with creative writing unfortunately. I think you'll have to manage yourself for this one.

bill533:

well could you help me create hints on her father was so i could write it out

SmokeyBrown:

I guess I'd say her father is struck with grief about the dead mother, oblivious to the stepmother's cruelty, guilty for not being able to help his daughter, passive in the way he helps his daughter, not by confronting the stepmother but by leaving gifts occasionally

SmokeyBrown:

I'd say all three choices are examples of mutualism, which occurs when both organisms benefit from the relationship

SmokeyBrown:

I think C and B are right for this pair

SmokeyBrown:

I think A and A would work here

bill533:

the 2nd said to pick 2

SmokeyBrown:

I guess A and E for that one then

SmokeyBrown:

I think A and then D are the best answers for these two

SmokeyBrown:

D and B seem like the best ones here

bill533:

this the first one sorry

SmokeyBrown:

I'm not really sure right now. I think C for the first one, then B and F for the second one? Sorry, I'm getting kind of tired

bill533:

it's ok couple little bit questions then i'm finished

bill533:

it's not a lot

bill533:

is that fine ?

SmokeyBrown:

Yeah that sounds alright

bill533:

https://i.imgur.com/mA1m3L4.jpg

SmokeyBrown:

I think B is the answer for the first one. For the second one, I think B is best

SmokeyBrown:

I think C and D would be the best fit here

SmokeyBrown:

Hm, probably D and B for these two

SmokeyBrown:

I'm pretty confident that it is A and then B for this one

SmokeyBrown:

I'm gonna say C and B for these two

SmokeyBrown:

D for the first part, then "let us not deceive ourselves" and "to bind and rivet us upon those chains..."

SmokeyBrown:

I'd say D and C make the most sense to me

SmokeyBrown:

Oh, I can't see all the options for the second part

bill533:
