Question

What phrase most contributes to the tone of frustration in the beginning of this story? (1 point)

America used to be a colony of Great Britain.
Colin bit his lip for about the hundredth time.
He had been in the States for a few months.
"It was the most remarkable thing."

Answer 1

The second one clearly shows feelings of frustration and disliking.

When someone bites their lips many times, they are most probably trying not to express how they feel and rather hold in their thoughts to prevent disputes.
