  • Swollen -  There is a recurrent spot where the pattern lolls like a broken neck and two <u>bulbous</u> eyes stare at you upside down.

"Bulbous" mean something fat, round, or bulging, similar to "Swollen" which is the state of being larger or rounder in size of what something normally is.

  • Disappointing -  "Better in body perhaps — " I began, and stopped short, for he sat up straight and looked at me with such a stern, <u>reproachful</u> look that I could not say another word.

Reproachful is an adjective and it's used when something/someone expresses disapproval or disappointment.

  • Markedly noticeable -  But in the places where it isn't faded and where the sun is just so—I can see a strange, provoking, formless sort of figure that seems to skulk; lie in wait about behind that silly and <u>conspicuous</u> front design.

Something conspicuous is something obvious to the eye or mind (it easily catches people's attention), something markedly noticeable.

  • Bad quality -  Looked at in one way each breadth stands alone, the bloated curves and flourishes—a kind of "<u>debased</u> Romanesque" with delirium tremens—go waddling up and down in isolated columns of fatuity.

Debased means degraded, reduced in quality or value.

Answer:

The word inconspicuous means not clearly visible, or not obvious. I figured this would be the meaning, considering birds would want to keep hidden from predators, so they would stay somewhere not clear and camouflaged.

Vanyuwa [196]

b. listen with empathy

The key characteristic for one listening with empathy is to give the speaker your undivided attention.  Because Jeff fell asleep, he obviously had not been providing this.  Further, when one is empathetic, one is able to understand the position/place of someone else.  Obviously, if Jeff were speaking, he would want his audience to pay attention, so he should have recognized this and been conscious of that for Elizabeth.  By Jeff falling asleep, he does not understand the perspective of someone else in order to recognize how to respectfully listen (or listen with empathy).

1. How does Uncle Axel's personality contribute to the development and complication of
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Uncle Axel is a kind man who does not share the Waknukian extreme beliefs, he is reasonable about issues that the authorities consider as Offences.

He has an open mind regarding his world and the rest of the world beyond the Labradors, and is concerned with the actual origin of things.

However he is also shrewd enough to keep his beliefs to himself.

These traits of his helps to develop and reinforce the idea of necessary secrecy for David (the protagonist) and others, the support his character gives David and the others enables them to live for many years without detection.

He indirectly encourages David to explore the world and follow his dreams when he gets the chance. His insistence that David helps to keep others like him safe contributes to the climax of the story, in that the group's effort to keep one of them safe lead to their being detected and brought under suspicion.

Explanation:

In <em>The Chrysalids</em> Uncle Axel is David's uncle, he is a kind and reasonable man who keeps an open mind and does not share the extreme religious belief of his people.

His character personality and support for David is the catalyst fro most of David's actions in the story, which contribute to the development of and complication of the plot.
