Question

1. josie says, \the trail ahead was steep, but i was dragging my feet for a different reason.\ from this line, you can infer that josie ____.a. is exhaustedb. doesnt feel like spending time with her dad and brotherc. is hotd. is feeling worried about something2. josie says, \ive heard the stories 70,000 times.\ the hyperbole in this sentence tells the reader that ____.a. josie is trying to memorize the stories about triple gb. josie has never heard the stories about triple gc. josie is very familiar with the stories about triple gd. josie has listened to the stories about triple g literally 70,000 times

Explanation:

1. For the first question: The line states the steep trail is not the reason Josie is dragging her feet. Options A, C are physical reasons tied to the trail, and B is an unstated specific scenario. Feeling worried (a non-physical, unrelated reason) fits the "different reason" description.
2. For the second question: Hyperbole is an extreme exaggeration. Saying "70,000 times" is not literal; it emphasizes that Josie has heard the stories so many times she is very familiar with them.

Answer:

1. D. is feeling worried about something
2. C. Josie is very familiar with the stories about Triple G
