As soon as the bacon was well under way, and Millie, her lymphatic aid, had been brisked up a bit by a few deftly chosen expressions of contempt, she carried the cloth, plates, and glasses into the parlour and began to lay them with the utmost eclat’.What does the term eclat mean as it is used in the sentence?
A) contempt
B) elegance
C) lethargy
D) quickness

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:
Eclat
noun
Meaning:brilliant display or effect
Synonym: elegance
Answer is B
Answer 2
Answer:

B) elegance

In the sentence the woman has begun to make a meal. Then she has some words with Millie because something was not to the woman's liking. After this, the woman carries the things she needs to set the table into the parlour and begins to lay them down. The formality with which the woman is described makes it seem as though she is rather formal and uppity. She probably wants everything to look and be perfect for the meal, so we can assume that she is laying down the linens and china in a way that is very elegant. The list of things she accomplishes makes it seem as though she is not slow or lethargic. On the other hand, she does not seem to be doing it quickly. While the woman does seem to have some negative feelings towards Millie, she doesn't have them towards the table settings, so she is not putting them down with contempt.

Ginny the Dog: A Hero Among HeroesHeroes come in many shapes and forms, but they all do uncommon things in unusual situations. They stand out. We've all heard stories of hero dogs that save their owners. One dog saved his owner by fighting off an alligator. Another woke his sleeping family when a fire broke out in its home. Still others rescue injured or needy people in dangerous situations. One dog even managed to call 911 when his owner suffered a seizure. But one dog, named Ginny, performed heroic acts on a regular basis, not just once or twice in unusual situations. Because of her kindness, many lives were saved.Ginny the dog was adopted by her owner from an animal shelter in 1990. Within days of bringing her home, her owner discovered that Ginny seemed to be able to find cats in distress. On her daily walks, Ginny would often find abandoned, trapped, or endangered kittens or cats that needed rescuing. In one such episode, Ginny found a group of kittens trapped in a pipe. She managed to let her owner know, by scratching and barking at the pipe, that something needed her help. Because of Ginny, all the kittens were saved.Almost daily, Ginny would find cats that needed rescuing or, in some cases, a little love. Ginny's owner reported that when Ginny saw a cat on their walks, she would pull away from her leash and run after the cat. Instead of chasing cats like most dogs, Ginny would nuzzle and lick them, giving them comfort. Because of Ginny, her owner soon found he was caring for hundreds of wild neighborhood cats. In addition, Ginny pushed her owner to adopt more than 20 cats, most of whom had permanent injuries or special needs."When we would go to the pound to drop off donations," her owner said, "Ginny always found the cat that was blind or deaf or hurt in some way. She would sit down in front of the cat's crate and not move until we brought it home."What makes a dog behave in such a kind way? Some believe Ginny had a very strong mothering instinct. But how could she tell when a cat was deaf? How did she know which cats needed love and attention? Regardless of how she did it, Ginny rescued hundreds of cats in her life and set an example we all can follow.What detail from the essay shows that Ginny was unusual?a.She did not chase cats like most dogs do.b.She did not mind her owner like most dogs do.c.She had a major effect on her owner.d.She went to the pound often with her owner.
