1 Point
Read the following passage:
And once the dragon was slain, the young knight retired his
sword and settled into a peaceful life outside the village.
But every few years, when the wind was right, he could just
make out the faintest sounds of roaring from far away.
And although he never used it, he always made sure to
keep the sword sharpened, just in case.
Which sentence best describes the impact of ending a story this way?
A. The author suggests that the knight has not truly won his battle.
OB. The author shows that the dragon has permanently been
defeated
O C. The author sets a tone of finality as the knight settles into a
peaceful life.
O D. The author portrays the knight as heroic for defeating the dragon.

Answer 1

C !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............

Answer 2

The answer is A

B says that the dragon is permanently been defeated, if that was true then why does the knight keep the sword sharpened. B is wrong

C says that the knight is living a peaceful life. That’s wrong because the knight is living on edge now because of the fight with the dragon. Otherwise why would he still hear it roar. C is wrong

D say that’s the author portrays him as a hero but there was no implications or contexts clues that would point to that. D is also wrong

So the Answer is A
