Source: Dude trust me.

Answer:D

Explanation:

(1) When I was little, Grandma always played with me. (2) She taught me how to dance, and she made beautiful clothes for my dolls. (3) She was my special friend, but I had no idea just how special until I was in ninth grade.


(4) Since my family did not have much money, I knew I would never be able to buy a great dress for the school dance. (5) That did not stop me from dreaming, however. (6) Many nights, after I had finished my homework, I would sketch the "perfect" dress. (7) I kept all the sketches on my bedside table. (8) I guess I figured that was a good place to store impossible dreams.


(9) One Monday, Mom and Grandma agreed that we should start shopping for my dress. (10) I dreaded shopping for it; I knew I would face a big disappointment when I found nothing close to my "perfect" dress. (11) Nevertheless, we decided that we would shop for my dress on Saturday.


(12) That Friday night at dinner, Grandma seemed unusually cheerful as she asked, “What’s cooking, Natalie?” (13) When I replied, “Not much,” she sang out, like a happy little bird, “Oh, Natalie! I have a surprise,” and reached under the table to pull out a huge, flat box. (14) When I opened it, I gasped and burst into tears. (15) Grandma had made my “perfect” dress! (16) When I looked over, I saw that she was crying, too. (17) "I'm sorry," she said, now laughing. (18) "I was so worried it wouldn't be what you hoped for," she said. (19) "I love it," I said and gave her a hug.


Which of these best describes the main conflict that Natalie faces?


A. an internal conflict: her decision about whether to go to the dance

B. an internal conflict: her feelings about her grandmother's gift

C. an external conflict: her struggle to design a perfect dress for the dance

D. an external conflict: her inability to obtain a perfect dress for the dance

A. It hints at the gift she is about to give Natalie.

B. It suggests that she does not respect Natalie.

C. It shows that she is cheerful and informal.

D. It suggests that she is helpful and full of ideas.


Which statement best describes Grandma as the author presents her?

What important naturalist theme is reflected in this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat"?
The birds sat comfortably in groups, and they were envied by some in the dinghy, for the wrath of the sea was no more to them than it
was to a covey of prairie chickens a thousand miles inland. Often they came very close and stared at the men with black bead-like eyes.
At these times they were uncanny and sinister in their unblinking scrutiny, and the men hooted angrily at them, telling them to be gone.
...the captain gently and carefully waved the gull away. After it had been discouraged from the pursuit the captain breathed easier on
account of his hair, and others breathed easier because the bird struck their minds at this time as being somehow gruesome and
ominous.
