The phrase "even in the boy's ten years" in line 2 suggests that the family has moved a lot during the boy's life.
The man to whom the father refers in line 17 is most likely his employer.
The last paragraph contains an example of hyperbole.
Based on the descriptions in the last paragraph, the word that best describes the boy is helpless.
To answer the question about the phrase "even in the boy's ten years" in line 2, we need to analyze the context of the passage. The passage describes the family stopping at a house, and it mentions that this is not a new experience for the boy. This suggests that the family has moved frequently throughout the boy's ten years of life. Therefore, the correct answer is: The family has moved a lot during the boy's life.
To determine the man to whom the father refers in line 17, we need to look at the preceding sentence. The sentence states, "I reckon I'll have a word with the man that aims to begin to-morrow owning me body and soul for the next eight months." This indicates that the man being referred to is the one who intends to own the father's body and soul for the next eight months. Therefore, the correct answer is: His employer.
Regarding the last paragraph, it does not contain any examples of hyperbole, simile, or alliteration. This is because it consists of a description of the boy's thoughts and feelings, without the use of any figurative language or repetition of sounds. Therefore, the correct answer is: None of the above.
Based on the descriptions in the last paragraph, the word that best describes the boy is "helpless." The paragraph emphasizes the boy's young age and his inability to fully understand or control the events happening around him. The passage mentions his "terrible handicap of being young," indicating his vulnerability and lack of power in the world. Therefore, the correct answer is: Helpless.
