Question

6 part a (a) what does the word tore in paragraph 5 suggest? a unsteady balance b reckless speed c screeching sounds d something breaking

Explanation:

To determine the meaning suggested by "tore", we analyze the options:

• Option A: "Unsteady balance" is about stability, not related to "tore" (which implies movement/speed or forceful action).
• Option B: "Reckless speed" fits as "tore" (past of "tear" in the sense of moving rapidly and perhaps carelessly) can suggest moving with reckless speed.
• Option C: "Screeching sounds" are auditory, while "tore" is about action/movement, not sound.
• Option D: "Something breaking" is more about the result of tearing an object, but the context of "tore" in a paragraph (likely about movement) is more about speed than breaking.

Answer:

B. reckless speed
