Can someone help me with this?

Hey there!

The answer will be B. When Mariah's mother gives her a guitar stand, the reader knows that Mariah has sold her guitar.

Explanation:

Well, we don't exactly know if Mariah will give the hammock to her mom, dad, grandparents, friends etc. That's not quite clear just after reading the 1st line. You only understand it after the garden shop's owner says it. But, you know that Mariah's mom will give her the guitar stand as she plays the guitar in this text. But, here there's dramatic irony used as know Mariah has sold her guitar & the guitar stand is no longer useful.

Hope it helps ya!

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people

the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.
