Read the excerpt from "Echo and Narcissus."

Narcissus continued to hunt and relax in the hills each day. Although his good looks still charmed both fairies and mortals alike, his heart was given to no one. That is, until one fateful day, when he leaned over the crystal waters of a pond to drink and saw a gorgeous creature reflected back at him.

What does the phrase "a gorgeous creature reflected back at him" help readers infer?

Is it B? bc the other answer didnt get close so thats what I chose

Explanation:

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.

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.

(; i do hope this is useful to you!     < 3
