question 8
select two sentences from the passage that support the inference that carol has negative feelings about her visit to gopher prairie.

Explanation:

For Question 7, we need to find a word to replace "distinguish" with a similar - meaning word. For Question 8, we search for sentences in the passage that imply Carol has negative feelings about her visit. We analyze the context of the passage to answer these questions.

Answer:

Question 7: Without seeing the specific sentence in paragraph 7, we can't give a definite answer. But common synonyms for "distinguish" could be "identify", "discern".
Question 8: Without the full - text passage, we can't select the two sentences. However, we would look for sentences that express Carol's dissatisfaction, boredom, or other negative emotions related to her visit.
