Explanation:

For the first question, the phrase "their eyes the size of dinner - plates" is a hyperbolic description. In literature, such extreme exaggeration of eye - size is often used to convey a strong emotional reaction like fear. For the second question, the suffix "-ly" turns an adjective into an adverb. "Slight" means small in degree or amount, so "slightly" means in a small way.

Answer:

1. D. They are frightened
2. A. in a small way
