For the first question, you chose option A (They are frustrated because they have much to clean). The correct answer is actually option B (They are relieved the hut is able to keep them mostly dry).
To arrive at this answer, you need to analyze the given passage: "In the morning, the air was crisp and the cay smelled fresh and clean." The passage indicates that after the rainfall, the air is crisp and the cay smells fresh and clean. This implies that the rainfall has had a positive effect, making the environment clean and refreshing. Therefore, Phillip and Timothy would be relieved that their hut was able to keep them mostly dry.
For the second question, you chose option D (Can you call me Phillip instead of young boss?) as the passage that best illustrates Phillip's change in attitude toward Timothy. This is not the correct answer. The passage that best illustrates Phillip's change in attitude toward Timothy is actually option B (They had their place and we had ours).
To determine the correct answer, you need to analyze the text for a significant change in Phillip's attitude. The passage "They had their place and we had ours" reflects a shift in Phillip's perspective, acknowledging that Timothy is an equal partner and they both have their own roles and areas of expertise. This demonstrates a change in Phillip's initial dismissive and arrogant attitude towards Timothy.
For the third question, you correctly chose option B (He is terrified by the thought of falling blindly from the tree) as the most likely reason Phillip refuses to climb the coconut tree.
To determine the correct answer, you need to consider the context of the situation. Given that Phillip is blind, he would be afraid of climbing the coconut tree because he would be unable to see and would risk falling from the tree. This fear stems from his inability to see where he is stepping and the potential danger that comes with climbing a tree without sight.
For the fourth question, you correctly chose option A (Bragging) as the meaning that best matches the word "crowing" in the sentence "She was crowing over her quarterly grades that earned her a spot on the honor roll."
To determine the correct answer, you need to understand the context of the sentence and the connotation of the word. In this context, "crowing" implies that the person is boasting or bragging about their grades. This matches the meaning of the word "crowing," as it implies expressing pride or triumph in an arrogant or boastful way.
