Read the story Bruno and the Race:
It was a bright, sunny day, and the entire penguin colony was out fishing. Bruno, a young penguin, got up on the highest iceberg and let out a
huge squawk. Everyone turned, looked up, and stared. He shouted as loud as he could, "I challenge Jeanette and Trevor to a race!" Bruno could
hear everyone snickering, saying he was too small and would never win. Bruno yelled again, "I am serious! If I lose, I will give 100 fish to the
winner!" That amount of fish is three full days of hard work for Bruno.
Jeanette and Trevor were the fastest penguins in the entire colony. They would slide and jump all over the ice while the rest of the penguins
tried to keep up. No one could beat them, and most had tried. The only penguin that had not challenged them was Bruno. He was a very small
penguin, and no one thought he was fast enough, so he never tried to challenge them, until now. Bruno had been practicing his racing
technique every evening. He was ready to show the colony his newfound confidence.
They waddled up to the starting line. Jeanette, Trevor, and Bruno made eye contact with each other as they stretched. The colony counted
down, "Three! Two! One! Go!" The three penguins took off. Jeanette and Trevor were in the lead, but as they approached the finish line, they
saw a flash of black and white fly past them! Bruno used the last jump to give him the speed he needed to win the race. Using the jumps for
speed was Bruno's new technique to win races. His size didn't matter. Bruno shared his new skill with the other penguins in the colony. Bruno
wanted to help them become faster so that everyone had a chance at winning races. The entire colony thanked Bruno, and everyone was sorry
for doubting him

Select the correct answer. read this excerpt from leo tolstoy's the death of ivan ilyich: her attitude towards him and his diseases is still the same. just as the doctor had adopted a certain relation to his patient which he could not abandon, so had she formed one towards him—that he was not doing something he ought to do and was himself to blame, and that she reproached him lovingly for this—and she could not now change that attitude. "you see he doesn't listen to me and doesn't take his medicine at the proper time. and above all he lies in a position that is no doubt bad for him—with his legs up." she described how he made gerasim hold his legs up. the doctor smiled with a contemptuous affability that said: "what's to be done? these sick people do have foolish fancies of that kind, but we must forgive them. . " they all rose, said good-night, and went away. when they had gone it seemed to ivan ilyich that he felt better; the falsity had gone with them. but the pain remained—that same pain and that same fear that made everything monotonously alike, nothing harder and nothing easier. everything was worse. again minute followed minute and hour followed hour. everything remained the same and there was no cessation. and the inevitable end of it all became more and more terrible. based on the excerpt, how is praskovya fedorovna a character foil to ivan ilyich? a. she is kind and takes care of ivan, which is why he feels guilty about how he treated her for most of their married life. b. she is vindictive toward ivan while pretending to be worried about him, thus reminding him of how his family has never forgiven him. c. she plays the part of the worried wife without any real feeling, symbolizing the false propriety ivan upheld but now hates. d. she is young, healthy, and beautiful—everything ivan can never be again and wishes he could return to. reset next
