Answer:

The answer is indeed number 2. was buried.

Explanation:

To extract means to remove, to take out, to pull out, especially by effort or force. But even if readers don't know the meaning of extract, they can assume it is related to removing something by paying attention to context clues. In this case, if someone has a splinter "buried deep" in their finger, it is only logical that it will cause them pain and they will want it removed. Thus, the context clue for the definition of the word extract is "was buried".

What does the term courtier poet of middling talent mean
Margarita [4]

To understand this phrase you have to analyze it in pieces.

Courtier is a word to describe a person that goes to the court to present, in this case, poetry. The court was the place where the powerful people (kings, princes, queens, royal governors...) of society would go to have a different kind of reunions and presentations.

Middling is a word that was used as a synonym for standard, regular. Here it means that the poet is not particularly bright, not all that talented.

Which piece of evidence best reveals how Elijah's words contribute to Joe's death ?
Novay_Z [31]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Which piece of evidence best reveals how Elijah’s words contribute to Joe’s death?  A. “Looka theah, folkses!” cried Elijah Mosley, slapping his leg gleefully. “Theah they  go, big as life an’ brassy as tacks.” (Paragraph 2)  B. “He rides that log down at the saw-mill jus’ like he struts ‘round wid another  man’s wife — jus’ don’t give a kitty.” (Paragraph 5)  C. “Talkin’ like a man, Joe. Course that’s yo’ fambly affairs, but Ah like to see grit in  anybody.” (Paragraph 16)  D. “Aw, Ah doan’t know. You never kin tell. He might turn him up an’ spank him furgettin’ in the way, but Spunk wouldn’t shoot no unarmed man.” (Paragraph 22)

Answer:

D. “Aw, Ah doan’t know. You never kin tell. He might turn him up an’ spank him furgettin’ in the way, but Spunk wouldn’t shoot no unarmed man.” (Paragraph 22)

Explanation:

This question is about "SPUNK".

The paragraph shown above is the best evidence that Elijah's words contributed to Joe's death, even though the biggest conflict Joe has in history is with Spunk who is having an affair with his wife, but Spunk was not the main one responsible for Joe's death, even though they fought.
