Answer:

“pink quartz that glowed like happiness”

Explanation:

The setting is described in a positive way. This shows that Turner is comfortable on the beach. Of the answer choices, the one that best shows his love of the beach is the description of the quartz glowing like happiness. The other lines taken out of context do not give any hint of comfort.

Based on the context of each excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams," choose the definition that most closely matches
brilliants [131]

Emphasize - Accentuated: As she took her stance for a short mashie shot, Dexter looked at her closely. She wore a blue gingham dress, rimmed at throat and shoulders with a white edging that accentuated her tan.

In this passage it is saying that the white edging of the dress made the darkness of her skin stand out. Emphasize means the same as stand out of accentuate.

Childish sulkiness or bad-temper - petulance: During dinner she slipped into a moody depression which gave Dexter a feeling of uneasiness. Whatever petulance she uttered in her throaty voice worried him.

She is described as being in a moody depression. This best fits with the definition of sulkiness or bad-temper.

Practical, Ordinary - mundane: "You're not. I like you. But I've just had a terrible afternoon. There was a man I cared about, and this afternoon he told me out of a clear sky that he was poor as a church-mouse. He'd never even hinted it before. Does this sound horribly mundane?"

Another word for mundane is ordinary. Mundane is used to give ordinary a more boring connotation.

Katena32 [7]

The correct answer is the first option “For an African, whether you were sent to the Caribbean or South America, you were now part of the sugar machine.”. Taken from the book “<em>Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science</em>” by Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos (2010), this excerpt best states the main point or claim of the text that the author narrates: the operation of the sugar machine. In other words, this could be the <u>thesis statement</u>. The rest of the options are <u>supporting sentences</u> that develop the actual operation of the sugar machine: how someone may be part of another group, how someone may work according to the ground, and how overseers supervise someone’s work.
