Based on the seventh and eighth paragraphs, what does Callie think about the men's meeting?
She's relieved that the men will take care of things.
She's skeptical the men will find a solution.
She's hopeful that the men will solve the locust problem.

She's skeptical the men will find a solution.

Explanation:

The short story "The Locusts" revolves around the locust invasion that damaged and disrupted crop production in the small town where Callie and her family lived. The 1874 locust invasion had left everyone cropless, and reduced the people to a state of hunger.

In paragraphs 7 and 8 of the short story, Callie 'accepts' that the locust issue is for the menfolk to deal with as her Pa had said. But she seemed skeptical about it. This is evident in the line "[S]he suppressed a scowl." Callie knows she can't do much about it nor can the men, after all, every one of them is hungry.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.
