Answer:

I believe the answer is indeed letter C) “Horribly” emphasizes the girl’s goodness, but it is normally a negative definition that implies that there is something awful about being so good.

Explanation:

This question is about the short story called "The Story-Teller", by Saki. Three children who are traveling by train with their aunt and misbehaving are forced to listen to their aunt's boring story. She is trying to teach them a moral lesson, but they are not interested. The children wished to be entertained.

A bachelor who is in the same wagon as the aunt and the children begins to tell a story as well. Unlike the aunt, he does wish to entertain the kids and keep them quiet, instead of forcing goodness and morals onto them. So he begins to tell the story of a girl who is "horribly good". The children are very much surprised at this term. They are used to being told stories about good characters, but not about horribly good ones. That is enough to catch their attention. They somehow pick up the underlying meaning that the girl in the story is good to the point of being awful. Being good is not her quality, but her flaw. Therefore, we can safely choose letter C as our answer - C) “Horribly” emphasizes the girl’s goodness, but it is normally a negative definition that implies that there is something awful about being so good.

lorasvet [3.4K]
Based on this passage, I believe that the description which best characterizes Hector is the last option - he is an epic hero because he is a brave leader.
You can see in the excerpt that once he started walking around his men, they all stopped talking and calmed down, as if they admired him a lot, which was the truth. He was a good leader and his men loved him, and were devastated when he was killed in the end.

Sonja [21]

Answer: Students need a break to study for their rigorous midterm exams.

Explanation:

With the school term begining in the end of August and going on till the midterms save for a few holidays here and there, students do not really have time to rest and reflect.

Adding a weeklong break in October can therefore give students the time to rest and prepare for their very rigorous midterm exams which will theoretically lead to higher pass rates.
