1. A.a talented mule skinner possessing a quiet wisdom.

2. A. as a point of tension in the plot's rising action.

Curley's character always brings tension. The men do not like having him around because he is always picking fights. He definitely does not offer any hope or comedic relief.

3. D. foreshadowing

Curley's wife is also described as having soft qualities. This similarity between her and the soft things Lennie likes to pet foreshadows that at some point Lennie will want to pet her. We know that this will not be well received by Curley.

4. age and handicap

Candy and his dog represent age and handicap. What do you do with someone or an animal when they are no longer useful? Candy's dog is put down. Can you put down a person if he is no longer useful?

5. B. Lennie seems very taken by Curley's beautiful but flirtatious wife.

This goes back to number 3.

6. B. In a dialog with Slim, George confesses a secret to him.

George tells Slim what happened with Lennie in Weed. This shows that George trusts Slim and respects his opinion.

7. one of the author's recurring themes for his book is the theme of loneliness

The men in the bunkhouse are shown as being lonely even though they have each other. On Saturdays they often go into town to drown their loneliness in alcohol and women.

8. D. George's voice deepens and he repeats his words in a lilting rhythm.

At the end of chapter 1, George tells the story of what their future holds. The text specifically states that his voice deepens and he speaks in a rhythm.

9. repeatedly pleads with George to tell him the story about the rabbits

Lennie loves the story about the rabbits because Lennie loves to pet soft things. In the story, the men have a ranch with rabbits that Lennie will be responsible for tending to.

I tried my best to figure out the answers for these questions but, they might not be all accurate answers so bear with me.

1. In this sentence, deteriorated means it worsened meaning the answer is c.

2. The sentence that contains figurative language is C.

3. There is one stanza in this poem.

4. The THREE characteristics in this excerpt is multiple characters, setting, and focus on personal emotion.

5. The feature that helps identify it as a lyric poem is C, a single speaker. Lyric poems are usually said in first person, which you can see when it says you and I.

6. I think the answer to this question is B, aabb because the first sentence ends with sky and the second sentence ends with by which rhymes and they both end with the same sound, same for the other two sentences.

7. I wasn't really sure if this was the right answer, but I think the answer is iambic pentameter.

8. Contextual symbols are B, symbols that many people and cultures are familiar with. It wouldn't be C, because that refers to contentional symbols, just throwing that in there, ok next question.

9. The THREE elements that belong to the SIFT method is symbols, figurative language, and imagery.

10. Last but not least, the theme in this poem is B, the soul can be a person's best friend and worst enemy.

I hope this helps! :)
