Read this line from frankenstein by mary shelley:
it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.
which words give the best clues to the meaning of convulsive? (5 points)
glimmer
dull
creature
agitated

D. Agitated

What is being described in this excerpt is the violent shaking of Frankenstein’s creature when it was coming to life.  When one has convulsions, one begins to shake uncontrollably almost as one would do when having a seizure.  “Agitated” is the only word that begins to allude to this as “glimmer,” “dull,” and “creature” have no relation to “convulsive.”

i think i seen this before

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
