Read the excerpt from a short story. From the porch, the cabin looked as quaint and rustic as the website had promised. I hoisted my duffel to my
hip, unlocked the door with the key I'd been sent, and stepped into the warm air of the mountain home. The
floorboards creaked a welcome as I investigated. I admired the piney living room, noting the stone hearth and
the dappled afternoon light on the walls. Then I made my way toward the sole bedroom at the end of the hall. I
glanced at the eyelet bedcover, the mantle clock, and the antique mirror. Wait. I glanced again at the mirror and
impulsively brushed my hair from my eyes, balking at the coloring of the wayward wisps. How could it be? My
hand touched my skin-the image I faced was a much older version of myself. I backed away, watching my
wrinkled face retreat. I tripped on the doorjamb, stubbed my toe on an errant nail, and nearly toppled over my
own luggage as I lunged for the door.

explanation:

the answer to your question is the introduction, because the main text is the body paragraphs, and the table of contents is used to locate paragraphs, and the conclusion is where you wrap up all your thoughts in the end.

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.
