City Of Ember Ch 8-11

In this sentence, "luxury" means something that goes beyond what is necessary or required. It suggests that Lina's new situation with cooked meals, a nice room, and being tucked in at night is more than what she needs for basic comfort. It implies that she is experiencing a level of abundance or excess that is considered luxurious.

"Winced" means to make an involuntary movement in response to pain. In this context, Lina's reaction of wincing after stubbing her toe indicates that she experienced pain and reacted to it by involuntarily moving or flinching.

Lina responded to Granny's sickness by staying home to care for her. This shows that she is responsible and caring towards her grandmother. By staying home, Lina ensured that Granny received the necessary care and attention during her illness. This demonstrates Lina's dedication and willingness to help her family members in times of need.

After Granny died, Lina and Poppy went to live with Mrs. Murdo.

Doon felt angry when his co-workers in the Pipeworks called him "Bug Boy" because being called that name made him feel disrespected and belittled. He took offense to the nickname, as it implied that he was insignificant or inferior. This made him angry because he wanted to be taken seriously and valued for his abilities and contributions, rather than being mocked or ridiculed.

Lina felt it was wrong not to share with everyone because she believed that everyone should have equal access to the special food from the storerooms.

The evidence from the text, where Lina describes the lower area of Pipeworks as a "creepy place" and compares the black river to something in a bad dream, suggests that the river was a powerful and uncontrollable part of Ember that people should stay away from. This implies that the river poses a threat or danger to people, reinforcing the claim that it is not a place where people belong.

Lizzie gave Lina creamed corn and peaches from the storeroom.

After Doon sees the writing Lina found, Lina is convinced that the writing will show her a way out of Ember. This suggests that Lina believes the writing contains information or instructions that will lead them to an exit or escape route from the underground city of Ember. Lina's conviction indicates her hope and determination to find a solution to the problems and challenges they face in Ember.

The correct answer is "To explore the Unknown Regions." This suggests that Doon was in the library trying to understand fire in order to use it as a tool or resource for exploring unknown territories or regions. By understanding fire, he may have been able to utilize it in his exploration and navigate through the unknown areas more effectively.
