3. read the following sentences from "day of the butterfly." whenever you happened to look at them their heads were slightly bent, their narrow bodies hunched in, quite still. they had long smooth oval faces, melancholy and discreet--dark, oily shining hair. the little boy's was long, clipped at home, and myra's was worn in heavy braids coiled on top of her head so that she looked, from a distance, as if she was wearing a turban too big for her. over their dark eyes, the lids were never fully raised; they had a weary look. but it was more than that. they were like children in a medieval painting, they were like small figures carved of wood, for worship or magic, with faces smooth and aged, and meekly, cryptically, uncommunicative. which of the following is the best paraphrase of this excerpt? a. the children kept to themselves and appeared tired, thin, and homely. they carried an air of gloom that made them seem older than they were. b. the children were huddled with haircuts that were clearly done at home. they kept their eyes lowered and they stood there like silent statues. c. the children stood closely and silently with oversized hair and faces that were unnaturally worn. they appeared as if from another time, statuesque and silent. d. the children keep to themselves and seemed shy. their bodies were often huddled together and their faces and haircuts made them seem older than they were.
