I agree with your answers.
3 is tough. I think energetic is the best answer because the other three choices have negative connotations.
I have a few questions that I'm stuck on.
1. Identify how the pronoun is used in the sentence.
Just today Terry bought a picture for her.
direct object
indirect object
object of a preposition***
(I think this is the answer because of the preposition for her, Terry is the one getting the something /for her/)
2. Decide how the bold faced pronoun is used in the sentence.
/Whom/ did you ask to read these announcements?
subject
direct object***
object of a prep.
(I think it's a direct object because I know it's not the subject and I don't see a prep.)
3. Read the following from "The Happy Man" in which the narrator contemplates his unusual state of happiness.
He could not bear to stay in his office at the newspaper. He felt no desire to work at all. He hated the very idea of thinking about his daily business and completely failed to bring his mind down from its stronghold in the kingdom of happiness. How could he possibly write about a trolley bus falling into the Nile when he was so intoxicated by this frightening happiness? Yes, it really was frightening. How could it be anything else, when there was no reason for it at all, when it was so strong that it made him exhausted and paralyzed his will--apart from the fact that it had been with him for half a day without letting up to the slightest degree? He left the pages of paper blank and started walking backwards and forwards across the room, laughing and cracking his fingers...
All of the following words could be used to describe the man except
agitated
anxious
energetic
fretful
(I really have no idea...at the very end he seems energetic, and he's agitated definitely..)
4. "The truth is Doctor, that I've come to see you because I'm happy!" He looked at the doctor to see what effect his statement had had on him but noticed that he was keeping his composure. He felt ridiculous. "I'm inconceivably happy..." he said in a tone of confidence. He began telling the doctor his story, but the latter stopped him with a gesture of his hand. "An overwhelming, indelible, debilitating happiness?" he asked quietly. He stared at him in amazement and was on the point of saying something, but the doctor spoke first. "A happiness which has made you stop working," he asked, "abandon your friends and detest going to sleep?..."
"You're a miracle!" he shouted.
"Every time you get involved in some misfortune," the psychiatrist continued quietly. "You dissolve into laughter?"
"Sir, are you familiar with the invisible?"
"No!" he said with a smile. "Nothing like that. But I get a similar case in my clinic at least once a week!"
Which of the following stylistic elements is used by the writer in these lines to create humor?
repetition
incongruity***
irony
ridicule
5. Read the following from "The Women's Baths."
Although girls usually side with their mother, I had a strong feeling of sympathy for my grandmother: old age had caught up with her since her husband had died some time before and left her a widow, and little by little her authority in the home shrank as my mother's authority gradually extended. It is the law of life: one takes, the one hands over to another in one's turn. But that does not mean we obey the law readily and willingly.
Which of these ideas is most closely related to the theme in these lines?
fueling the fire of a rebellious nature
recognizing another's need for compassion
providing consolation for those experiencing grief
the struggle to maintain dignity despite family conflict***
It would be wonderful to get some help and feedback.

Jeez, people see the name Ms. Sue and immediately dislike, even though her answer was correct -_- rude
I was told Ms.Sue died from a cardiac arrest or something like that... BUt to behonest stop hating her just because she doesn't give you the direct answer she tells whats right or not and you should be thankful. If people actually paid attention they wouldn't have to teach. eventhough the question wasn't for cheating, people searching this up most likely are. I myself was confused on one of the questions. Thank you ms.Sue even though you want be able to read this ._.
