Explanation:

• For the first question:
• The words "roared", "crashed like thunder", and the description of Caleb's realization about art (motion, life, courage to start again) suggest energy and determination. Words like "roared" and "crashed" imply strong, dynamic action. Caleb's act of tearing the page and his new understanding show determination.
• For the second question:
• Caleb's realization is about art not being about perfection but motion, life, and courage. Tearing the page (an act of destruction to start anew) directly supports this realization. It shows the courage to let go (of the old, controlled drawing) and start again, which aligns with the idea of art being about more than just a static, controlled product.

Answer:

• First question: C. It conveys energy and determination.
• Second question: B. 'He frowned, then tore the page free and let it drift into the wind.'
