Answer:
The correct answer is The kids realize that the rain is less enjoyable than the sun.
Explanation:
It seems that the kids haven't seen the Sun in a very long time, years even. They are living underground on Venus and they have been for years. So in this moment, they finally see the Sun and all run outside to play and have fun and soak in the warmth after such a long time.
However, their happiness doesn't last long as it starts pouring rain and they have to go back to the underground house, understanding they will have to wait another seven years for the Sun to appear again.
Here is the entire excerpt:
<em>A few cold drops fell on their noses and their cheeks and their mouths. The sun faded behind a stir of mist. A wind blew cool around them. They turned and started to walk back toward the underground house, their hands at their sides, their smiles vanishing away.</em>

The story "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" can be understood from various different perspectives. Even though Sorrentino claims to not have written it as a symbol for anything, the narrative can be understood as a symbol of life itself.
The man with the umbrella is completely random and inescrutable. The man receiving the blows has no idea why he is the recepient, or what motivates the other man. His only option is to take the blows. This is similar to how we face hardships in life. We just have to accept that tragedy is sometimes random. Moreover, the protagonist eventually gets used to this situation, in the same way we can get used to any problem we have in life.
This is a compound sentence containing 2 independent clauses separated by a conjunction.
The answer is D

<span>When viewed through a formalist lens, the point of Shakespeare’s structure is to emphasize Hamlet's indecision that recurs throughout the play.
Hamlet is quite an indecisive character - he knows that he should do something, but he is torn between his options. He knows that he cannot choose to stay idle and ignore the death of his father - thus he can either choose revenge and kill Claudius, or choose suicide, and end it all.
