Answer:
C). Meetinghouse.
Explanation:
The embolden words are referring to the noun 'the meeting house' of Cambridge, Massachusettes. The other nouns in the sentence like 'Cambridge, Massachusettes, a thatched roof, city hall, church, and courthouse' are referring to the noun 'the meeting house' as they basically describe it that the meetinghouse had a thatched roof of clay and functioned as the city hall of the community as well as the church and the courthouse. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
A hyperbole is either a word or a sentence in a text that shows an overstatement (an exaggeration), it does not have to be literal; it is just a way to express your ideas in order to generate a contrast or to get the reader's attention.
In the excerpt the hyperboles (exaggerations) are:
- <u><em>Your name--think of it! Man,</em></u><u><em> they'll flock in droves</em></u><u><em>, these rich Londoners; they'll fight for that stock! </em></u>
When the writer says <em>"they'll flock in droves", </em>he refers to a very big amount of people together.
- <em><u>In less than twenty-four hours London was </u></em><em><u>abuzz</u></em><em><u>!</u></em>
When the writer uses the word <em>"abuzz", </em>it does not mean the city was on fire; it means the city was lively busy.
The best response to the above prompt is the one in option B. Generosity is about being kind, giving things or your time to others, in this option they list the actions of the players very well (while option A, C and D barely talk about it) and the rewarding feelings resulting from the acts of generosity is well expressed in Eddie words "Our clothes crusade rescues a thrift store in distress!".
B) After the teens get the idea to help the thrift store, they all work really hard to make it happen. From making pamphlets, to cleaning out their own closets, to gathering clothes from other people, they put in a lot of time and effort to bring together the donations for the thrift store. In the end, Eddie announces "Our clothes crusade rescues a thrift store in distress!" This declaration suggests that he is feeling proud of their efforts and the positive effect it had on the community. The theme is developed as the teens work together and learn the lesson the 'generosity is rewarding'.
