Speech Segmentation.

Explanation:

'Speech segmentation' is demonstrated as the process of identifying and recognizing the affiliation between the words, phonemes, as well as syllables employed in specific spoken language. It focuses on the context and emphasizes their study as a whole in order to promote a lexical meaning.

In the given situation, Carlos was incapable of 'speech segmentation' as he could not understand the lexical and contextual meaning of the phrase and failed to understand its meaning as a whole. Therefore, since he read the words in isolation and not as a whole, he was inefficient in 'speech-segmentation'.

the answer is a.

explanation:

the clause "looking toward the south" modifies "a funnel cloud." it's not really the cloud that's "looking," but grammatically, that clause is modifying the cloud.

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.
