Answer:
C. The author likens joy to sunshine to show how positive feelings can overcome dreariness.
Explanation:
This is a very common metaphor in literature: Sunshine is like an almighty force that can overcome pretty much anything.
In this case, Hector's joy is compared to sunshine, and there's no literal sunshine actually involved. Regardless, the figurative brightness and warmth of Hector's positive attitude is told to be powerful enough to overcome the dreariness (likened to gray skies and rain) that those around him may be going through.
The answer is D because it is the only answer choice that actually points out Hector's attitude as being a sunshine that overcomes the dreariness in others' moods.
Answer:
The correct answer is "two-thirds".
Explanation:
In English, we use "hyphen" (punctuation mark) to join two or more words. These should not be confused with "dashes", who are a longer punctuation mark and have other uses like separate explanatory phrases.
Hyphens are used to join words or terms to avoid confusions and they are written with no space between them and the words. In some cases, they are used to preserve the text's clarity: when adding a prefix (great-grandmother) or when the final and initial letters coincide (co-operate).
In this specific case, "two-thirds" is a fraction, so the hyphens are used to let know the relation between these two words instead of reading them as separated numbers.
