Read the passage.
Then Miss Hopley
did a formidable thing. She stood up. Had she been standing when we entered, she would have seemed
tall. But rising from her chair, she soared. And what she carried up and up with her was a buxom
superstructure, firm shoulders, a straight sharp nose, full cheeks slightly molded by a curved line
along the nostrils, thin lips that moved like steel springs, and a high forehead topped by hair
gathered in a bun. Miss Hopley was not a giant in body, but when she mobilized it to a standing
position she seemed a match for giants. I decided
I liked
her.
Which sentence is the best example of the opposite of this description of Miss
Hopley?

Read the passage.
Then he jumped.
The head was lying a little clear of the water jar, under the curve of it; and as his teeth met,
Rikki braced his back against the bulge of the red earthenware to hold down the head. This gave him
just one second’s purchase, and he made the most of it. Then he was battered to and fro
as a rat is shaken by a dog—to and fro on the floor, up and down, and round in great circles,
but his eyes were red and he held on as the body cartwhipped over the floor, upsetting the tin dipper
and the soap dish and the flesh brush, and banged against the tin side of the
bath.
