Question

32 he looked with sudden suspicion at madge, and added, \only you must play fair. no persuadin after my back is turned.\33 \well play fair,\ madge began, but skiff miller broke in on her assurances.34 \i know the ways of women,\ he announced. 	heir hearts is soft. when their hearts is touched theyre likely to stack the cards, look at the bottom of the deck, an im-beggin your pardon, maam. im only discussin about women in general.\35 \i dont know how to thank you,\ madge quavered.1. from what point of view is this passage written?a. first personb. third personc. second persond. second person plural2. when skiff miller say, an theres a lot of work in m yet. hes good for years to come. an i do like him, what seems to be going on in his mind?a. he is angry.b. he is confused.c. he is deciding.d. he is doubting.3. why does madge begin by agreeing that mr. miller may be right in his claim on the dog?a. she never wanted to keep the dog in the first place.b. she uses sarcasm to win the argument and to insult miller.c. she knows her husband does not stand a chance against miller.d. she wants to relieve the tension in the room, so miller might listen to her.4. what does madge rely on to persuade miller to accept her solution?a. his essential greedb. his love for the dogc. her feminine approach

Accepted Answer

# Answer:
1. b. Third person
2. c. He is deciding.
3. d. She wants to relieve the tension in the room, so Miller might listen to her.
4. b. His love for the dog

# Brief Explanations:
1. The passage uses third-person pronouns (he, her) and describes characters' actions/words from an external perspective, which matches third-person point of view.
2. Skiff Miller's statement about the dog's remaining working life and his fondness for it suggests he is weighing a choice related to the dog, indicating he is deciding.
3. Madge's conciliatory opening is a strategy to de-escalate tension, making Miller more receptive to her perspective later, rather than the other listed motives.
4. Madge would leverage Miller's stated affection for the dog (seen in his comment about the dog's value and his fondness) to frame a solution that aligns with his care for the animal, making this the most logical persuasion tool.
