Read the excerpt below and answer the question. And then he came. All of a sudden his arm was around my waist so warm and tight and he said very casually, "May I skate with you?" and then he took my hand. That's all there was to it. Just that and then we were skating. It wasn't that I never skated with a boy before. Don't be silly. I told you before, I get around. But this was different. He was a big shot up at school and he went to all the big dances and he was the best dancer in town except Harold Wright who didn't count because he'd been to college in New York for two years! Don't you see? This was different.

At first I can't remember what we talked about. I can't even remember if we talked at all. We just skated and laughed every time we came to that rough spot and pretty soon we were laughing all the time at nothing at all. It was all so lovely.

The tone of this excerpt from Daly's "Sixteen" is .

appreciative
disappointed
frustrated
infatuated

Explanation:

The best answer is infatuated. It seems like she is really falling for him. And they and up laughing just to laugh which sort of hides a nervousness. If they were older, the best answer would be appreciative, because their laughter would have to have a trigger of some kind. So a joke an awkwardness itself (like falling when skating -- something would have to cause the laughter).

But they're young and they are delighted with each other and laughter is their outlet.

the correct answer is: reveal gregor as an untidy individual.

in metamorphosis by franz kafka, gregor samsa is the main character, who one day wakes up as a bug, and the attitude he takes upon his transformation forces him to go deeper on his existence and the new features of his body.

in this excerpt the writer mentions a table full of collection textile samples, which gives us a hint about gregor being messy. later on the book we discover how he is a really untidy individual.
