Answer:

Explanation:

In these lines, the author compares feelings of grief to a wet mop. The author tells us that Shelley had been grieving for a long time. At first, this was considered normal. However, after a while, the grief and the sadness that grief brings with it become repellent and people begin to feel uncomfortable about it. The author supports this idea by exaggerating the effects of a wet mop and describing how it can repel others with a bad smell.

Honestly, I would guess C. The author compares grief to a wet mop to show that when the time for grieving ends, each person must let go of it on his or her own.

Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence in this excerpt from “Behold the Brooklyn Bridge” best shows the narrator

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

We weren't quite sure what it all meant, except that for now, my sister Rachel and I were putting on our finest dresses and the shoes Mother had polished twice.

Explanation:

Being naive simply means that one lacks experience and knowledge or critical thinking regarding the world around him.

The narrator, being young and naive, can not fully understand all the difficulties that surrounded building of the bridge. All he can understand is that people said it couldn't be done, but they've done it and he sees that as something special, out of this world experience.

He shares other people's happiness and is satisfied that he and his family are able to walk on that special bridge without being able to comprehend all the effort and obstacles and sacrifices endured for the bridge, that represents national pride, to be built.
