To check your answers, let's go through each question one by one:
1. The question asks for a description of a person with ambition. The correct answer is "someone who strives for success." This suggests that the person is driven and motivated to achieve their goals.
2. The given lines "Barely old enough to bleed / and already bruised!" are an example of alliteration. Alliteration refers to the repetition of initial consonant sounds in a series of words.
3. The best interpretation of the lines "Despair tempts him / to just go limp" from "Fable for When There's No Way Out" is that the struggle to live seems so hopeless that the chick considers giving up. This interpretation captures the idea of despair and the temptation to give up in the face of difficult circumstances.
4. To punctuate the sentence "They want thirty dollars for that old book" to make it an interrogative sentence (a question), we would add a question mark at the end. Therefore, the correct punctuation would be "They want thirty dollars for that old book?"
