- E.

Correct Answer
D. Someone who reads whenever they get the chance.Explanation
An AVID reader is someone who reads frequently and enthusiastically. The answer "Someone who reads whenever they get the chance" indicates that the person is actively seeking opportunities to read, which aligns with the characteristics of an AVID reader. Reading four books a year or only the books assigned in school may not demonstrate a strong passion for reading. Someone who doesn't like to read would not be considered an AVID reader at all. Therefore, the answer "Someone who reads whenever they get the chance" is the best choice.Rate this question:

It does not pertain to your clothing, smile, or intelligence, as those are unrelated to mood.Rate this question:

- A.
Spiders
- B.
Presents

Therefore, both A (spiders) and D (cruelty) are things that people typically dislike or abhor.Rate this question:
