1. For the first question, to determine the correct option, we need to understand what the phrase "raving about you to your parents" means. In this context, when a teacher raves about a student to their parents, it typically means that the teacher is praising the student and speaking highly of them. Therefore, the correct option would be "thinks you are a good student."
2. The effect of hyperbole in the given excerpt is to create an exaggerated sense of magic and imagination. This hyperbolic language describes the shoes' ability to jump over trees, rivers, houses, fences, sidewalks, and dogs. It emphasizes the extraordinary possibilities and adventures that the shoes can bring. Therefore, the correct option would be "It helps the reader realize that everyone has a little magic in them."
3. Bradbury's purpose in contrasting Douglas's real conversation with his father and the thoughts in Douglas's mind is to show that Douglas has a vivid imagination but also has limitations in conveying his thoughts and feelings effectively. By contrasting the two, Bradbury highlights the contrast between the richness of Douglas's inner world and the challenges he faces in expressing himself to others. Therefore, the correct option would be "It shows that Douglas has a vivid imagination but also shows the limitations he has with communication."
4. To determine the correct pronoun to complete the sentence, we need to identify the appropriate objective pronoun. In this case, the correct option would be "him," as it is the objective form of the pronoun and fits grammatically in the sentence. Therefore, the correct option would be "him."
