Question 4 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

Answer
A
It paints a picture of the morning to reflect the character’s mood.
B
It indicates that the character is moving to a new home.
C
It provides sensory details that create an exciting conclusion.
D
It uses hyperbole to indicate that the mood is one of sadness.

Explanation

The gray, still morning and “dreary clouds” create a gloomy picture that reflects the narrator’s mood as they leave for a foster home. Although the paragraph also tells us the narrator is moving, the question asks about the effect of the description of the morning. The description is not mainly an exciting conclusion or hyperbole.
