What does the word petulantly mean, as it is used in paragraph 10? Which clue from the text supports the answer to part a? I need mainly the second question.

PART A:

A. Showing sudden irritation.

PART B:

C. "She looked at him out of furious eyes..." (Paragraph 13).

Explanation:

As used in Paragraph 10, the word "petulantly" means "showing sudden irritation". As she looked at him out of furious eyes, it is clear that she was suddenly irritated by the invitation.

"Petulant" means a move with sudden irritation over trifling annoyance. It manifests in anger and irritation.

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

uhh i would say.. 100 years or innovation?
