Part A: Based on context clues in the passage, the most likely meaning of the word "transformed" is C. changed in form.

Explanation: In the passage, it is stated that the hero, by passing the first threshold, is transformed into another state of being. This implies a change in the hero's form or state.

Part B: The context clue from the text that BEST supports the meaning identified in Part A is C. "The hero...is swallowed into the unknown and would appear to have died."

Explanation: The context clue in option C supports the meaning of "transformed" as changed in form. The passage describes how sometimes the hero is literally swallowed by a monster or creature. This suggests a physical change and supports the idea that the hero's transformation involves a change in form.

Option A ("...passing the first threshold") does not directly relate to the meaning of "transformed." It provides information about the hero's progress but does not provide specific support for the meaning of the word.

Option B ("...into another state of being") is more general and does not provide a direct clue about the specific meaning of "transformed."

Option D ("This part of the journey is the hero’s rebirth, where he or she must spend time going inward") supports the concept of transformation but does not provide specific evidence for the meaning of "transformed" as changed in form.

One

One way or another, they all are. Atticus is the least likely candidate, but his very understanding of everything makes him a gentle man with a great deal of wisdom. He is raising his children with much kindness and a great deal of understanding. He is the parent every child wishes they had, but he's not a mockingbird. Not really.

Tom Robinson was a victim. The shooting was almost accidental and his being killed certainly was. So you could choose Tom. And if you have, go with it.

The real mockingbird, I think, is Boo. But as I've said, if you picked Tom stay with it. Boo was a recluse and a hermit almost. He was forced to come out of his shell. He was courageous with a deep sense of what is right and what isn't. To expose him, as the sheriff said, would be an act of cruelty.

Two

None of them. She is the very essence of female understanding and generous kindness and sympathy. What word is close to that? She's not rude. She's grateful. That's why she gets Boo out of the confusion of her house.

Girly is an awful term for her. She has no feminine wiles. She is sympathetic and kind and understanding. Girly is definitely not the word.

Prejudiced? You must be joking. She's certainly not that. She sees value in everyone she knows except Ewall.

She is inquisitive, but it's an awfully poor answer.

Three

Jem: as he grows older, he confronts the horrors that were part of his childhood. You might be tempted to pick Mayella that that's not a bad choice, except for the fact that she should have admitted to the lie in the first place. It had ramifications that were unseen, until it was too late.

Four

The stem and the choices do not seem to be connected.
