Answer:
APEX~ Grendel
Explanation:
Answer:There are several textual evidence in the beginning of the story that shows that the boy is afraid. For example:
He listens to his own heart “rufle away away” and feels it “at last gone from his ears and back in his chest again” (Bradbury 11), which implies that he is nervous and anxious about the upcoming battle.
He thinks of the drum as “a toy instrument” and wonders “what was he doing among all these men?” (Bradbury 11), which shows that he feels insecure and out of place among the soldiers.
He imagines that “the peach blossoms, shaken by the wind, were Civil War soldiers, gray and blue, falling in a slow dance” (Bradbury 21), which reveals that he is haunted by the images of death and violence that he will soon witness.
He considers “running away, back through the orchard, back across the river, back home” (Bradbury 21), which indicates that he is tempted to escape from the danger and responsibility that he faces.
Explanation:
It is sarcasm that really suggests not setting the boat on fire. This is the correct option.
This may be said by a person who is criticising somebody else's idea. The chances of being seen by someone in a boat on fire are almost non-existent. If they are still alive , someone may still see them if they remain in the current situation: no fire on the boat. Yet, if they set fire on the boat, they will certainly sink and die. In case someone sees the fire, will they arrive on time to rescue them?
These options are not right:
-It is ironic that destroying the thing keeping them afloat may save them. ( The speaker thinks he / she will be able to remain in the boat before it sinks. The speaker does not make reference to being kept afloat).
-It is satire related to an entirely different set of circumstances. ( There is not enough information to infer which the other circumstances are).
--It is understated despair for the serious situation. ( The situation sounds serious but " understated despair" sounds contradictory. "Understated" means discrete)
Awkward
Exhaustion
Gradual
Reluctance
