When you think about Thanksgiving cooking, typically you think of a rush to get everything done and to put all of the food onto the table so that everyone can eat. There is a tone of rushing and impatience being conveyed. Therefore, I would say that 4 is the most suitable answer. General Barker is clearly in a hurry and is under some stress. I hope this helps.

4)General Barker was in a hurry to get everything ready for the experiment.

The connotative meaning the secondary meaning of a sentence or word. In the original sentence, General Barker is not actually making Thanksgiving dinner for twenty people. However, he is undertaking a task just as difficult. Traditionally a Thanksgiving dinner has many dishes and requires a lot of time, preparation, and elements. This comparison is meant to show how General Barker's experiment has a lot of different elements and things that need to be ready at precisely the right time, so he is hurrying about to make sure everything is ready.

Read the excerpt from an adaptation of "To Build a Fire."
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The man will realize the wisdom of the old-timer’s warning.

Explanation:

"To build a fire" is a short story by Jack London, this story is about a man who travels to the Yukon ignoring the warnings from an old-timer about the deathly Yukon winters (where temperatures can reach 40 below)

In this excerpt we can see the man saying he was safe, remembering the old-timer warning and thinking that the old-timers were "rather womanish". We can see that he thinks that the warning was not real and that he was safe and will be able to survive and deal with the subzero temperatures of the Yukon, thus, the best prediction based on this excerpt is that he will likely won't be able to continue with this streak of "safeness" and he will realize the wisdom of the old-timer's warning.

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.
