Answer:
The correct answer would be option b:"The author once felt pride and optimism about the war".
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the author says that "he was proud of the young American pilots sitting at the controls in the cockpit" and that "he was grateful for the opportunity to witness this adventure and report it".
It just says that he was excited to get on a U.S Army helicopter, it does not say nor infer that is was his first flying experience, therefore, option a is incorrect.
It doesn't say and it cannot be inferred that the U.S soldiers are trained in hand to hand combat, so option c is also incorrect.
The author barely mentions the Vietcong guerillas, and he does not seem to have any respect for them since he was excited about war, so option d is also incorrect.
An adverb clause would start with a subordinating conjuction, which in this case is <em>Whenever, </em>so the answer is<em> </em>Whenever Alex played the saxophone, the cat hid and hissed.

Hello! I haven’t read this story, but I believe the correct answer would be the second option.
Explanation: For option two, she says she didn’t think she could turn down his proposal, indicating that she believed she didn’t have a choice in the matter. When gender inequality was more prominent, it was common for women to be forced into marriages, whether it be social status, or financial status for the woman’s whole family. All other options imply that she’d be marrying to help him out of her own goodness of heart.
Answer:
The eye opening experience that Katniss has, after seeing the Dandelion, is that there is still hope, and that her family has a future, even though her father has died, her mother is in a deep depression and she has a younger sister to feed. Bear in mind, that her family was starving to death(literally) her father (the source of money in the family) had just died, her mother was deeply depressed and unable to be a mother, so Katniss had to become the responsible adult in the family, even when she was only a teenager.
Specifically, <u>the Dandelion makes Katniss realize that she can go to the woods to collect edible plants (like dandelions) and then she starts hunting and she learns how to use a bow expertly, skill that will saver her life in the hunger games. </u>
Later on, Peeta becomes the symbol of the dandelion. (Spoiler alert) She ends up saying that what she needs in her life is <em>"the dandelion on the spring, the bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction,the promise that life can go on no matter how bad our losses". </em>
