The answer is C) urged

c) urged

In this sentence, exhorted is the action of the elder traveler. The use of the word "onward" suggests that the people have been traveling a long distance and still have a long distance to go. We also know that the elder wants the other traveler with him "to make good speed" or hurry up. Since exhorted is a verb, we need another verb to act as a synonym. Worthy is not a verb so it is eliminated immediately. Also, helped can be easily eliminated because the story does not make either person sound as though they'd be generous or helpful. The elder traveler does not sound as though he would not beg for anything. The correct answer is urged.

Leya [2.2K]

Rukmani's life is filled with struggle, yet she remains resolutely optimistic about her future. Married off to a poor rice farmer at the age of 12, Rukmani struggles through loneliness, infertility, starvation, and great loss with persevering optimism. The novel's title, Nectar in a Sieve, refers to nectar, a sweet liquid, and a sieve, a device with meshes that allows liquid to pass through while trapping solids in the device. The title suggests Rukmani's ability to appreciate the short, sweet moments in life before they disappear. During the Deepavali celebration in Chapter 10, for example, Rukmani's family struggles to eat, yet she doles out precious pennies for the children to buy fireworks because "it is only once ... a memory." Similarly, at the end of the novel when she and Nathan have been saving to return to the village, she feels overcome with happiness while at the market with Puli. She buys fried pancakes instead of plain rice cakes and wooden toys for the children: "Well, if we are extravagant it is only once." No matter what suffering comes Rukmani's way, she maintains optimism that life can only get better. She tells Kenny, "Want is our companion from birth to death." Rather than wallow in what's lacking, Rukmani always chooses to look ahead: to the next meal, the next year, or the next harvest.

o-na [289]

To make her language more formal and objective Rina could replace the word <u><em>scarier </em></u>for <u><em>more suspenseful</em></u>.

In formal language colloquialisms are usually not used, a colloquialism is a word normally used in spoken English, therefore, more terrifying, frightening or concerning would not be proper answers.

Meaning of suspenseful: Something that causes nervousness or excitement is going to happen or its result in uncertain.

Gnom [1K]

In The Metamorphosis, Kafka makes it evident that Gregor endures a hellish existence as a traveling salesman. Being the sole breadwinner of the family also takes its toll. He yearns to be free of his job and his family obligations. It seems as though his wish has been granted when he is transformed into an insect. However, Gregor cannot bask in the joy of his freedom because his physical condition causes the loss of his job, and he is forced to live within the confines of his room. Gregor’s condition is also a symbol of his alienation from society, which burdens him with too many expectations and unrealistic goals.
