PLZ HELP MEEE

#1 Read the excerpt from "Fulton Fish Market."

The first thing Alfred noticed was that Mr. Zanetti had the toughest hands he'd ever seen, and eyes that were a hard, pale blue. "Work, ya say?" Mr. Zanetti asked suspiciously.

What does the description of Mr. Zanetti reveal?

He is a hard worker and a generous man.
He is a hard worker and a tough boss.
He is a lazy worker and a grumpy person.
He is a lazy worker and a demanding coworker.

#2 In "Return Flight," Maggie is a static character because

she does not change in the story.
she changes in the story.
she helps someone else change.
she doesn't help anyone change.

#3Read the excerpt from "Return Flight."

He narrowed his eyes and bristled. The humiliation of being crated pecked and clawed at his spirit. Maggie's smooth claws, encased in thick material, resisted his protests as they enfolded him in darkness. Maggie tried to soothe his shame with her coos and gurgles, but it was no match for the despair that washed over him at these moments. He was a regal bird, meant to fly above the earth in a magnificent and boundless existence, not teeter around in a cramped box. His wings felt strong by his sides, and the urge to flap them until they broke through the walls that surrounded him became more insistent.

Which best describes how the bird feels?

trapped and frustrated
happy and content
angry and hateful
scared and lonely

Answer:

  1. hard worker and tough boss
  2. she does not change
  3. trapped and frustrated

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Mr. Zanetti had tough hands that were tougher than any hands Alfred had ever seen. This is an indication that Mr. Zanetti has done a lot of physical labor and has calloused hands from all the work he has done, likely with heavy things or out in the elements. The suspicious tone that Mr. Zanetti uses when asking if Alfred is really looking for work shows that Mr. Zanetti is most likely a strict boss who demands great effort and results from his employees.
  2. Maggie would be a static character here since static characters are defined as being characters who do not undergo changes in a story. Static characters are considered as such because their personality and actions tend to stay the same as the plot of the story progress. This feature does not prevent them from influencing or changing other characters, but it does mean that they end the story without having suffered any real transformation or transition.
  3. The bird is extremely frustrated because he is trapped in a crate. While Maggie is trying to comfort him, it is not much use because of the incredible shame he feels due to being stuck in a cage. The inability to soar high in the sky produces an almost overwhelming sadness. This is is accentuated by the fact that he can feel his wings close to him but cannot use them to make himself feel better.
