Answer: surprised or even stunned and amazed
Explanation:
Nurzhan was surprised because Maya had changed what Mr. Shanaman said to Papa to make the situation seem less serious than it was.
Mr. Shanaman explained that Nurzhan had gotten into a fight with Ossie, who had to get two stitches as a result, and that both boys were getting a two-day suspension. However, Maya translated Mr. Shanaman´s words to make it seem as if the other boy was to blame, and therefore Nurzhan´s punishment should not be as severe.
Answer:
A) Parallelism
Explanation:
Parallelism (also knows as parallel structure or parallel construction) is a literary device in which phrases with a similar or identical grammatical structure are used to create emphasis, balance, clarity, pattern, or rhythm. Here, every sentence begins with the phrase<em> Now is the time. </em>This phrase is followed by the infinitive form of verbs (to + verb). This is why these sentences are an example of parallelism.
The correct answer is the second one, because it might happen that you do not have a dictionary at hand and you need to know the meaning of an unfamiliar word. So, if you develop some strategies, that will help you immensely.
The first option is incorrect, because quite the opposite happens - it decreases your reading skills if you have to look up a word every 5 minutes.
And the last option is also incorrect, because those skills and strategies are important.
