Question 5 of 5 Bella lives in a fantasy land where magic is an everyday occurrence.
Although magic is not allowed in school, Bella is forced to make a
difficult decision - she casts a spell to keep the baby chicks in the
science lab warm after their incubator bulb breaks. Everyone is
appreciative of Bella's quick thinking to save the chicks, but she must
face the consequences nonetheless. Bella is disqualified from the
broom-flying derby because she broke a school rule.
In part of the story, Bella is named captain of the broom-flying team. Which
statement best explains how this plot event develops the theme that making
the right choice sometimes means getting in trouble?
O A. It shows that people often prefer leaders who are highly skilled
even if they are immoral.
O B. It shows that one should always make right choices, regardless of
consequences.
O c. It shows that being kind to animals is much more important than
what people think of you.
OD. It shows that people who are popular are always able to bend the
rules because everyone defends them.

the correct answer is "dissent"

explanation:

because dissent is when one or more judges express disagreement with the majority in court, in specific legal systems.   an   argument in opposition is presented to the court, with a different interpretation, or application.

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
