Answer:

Answer:

The word "rooting' is seen in the scene where Bruno had discovered Shmuel in his kitchen, working. He wanted to give something to him to eat so he "opened the refrigerator,about inside it for something to eat".

Explanation:

The word "rooting" can be found in page 169 of the text "The Boy in the tripped Pajamas" by John Boyne. The novel tells the friendship between two young boys, but from different sides of the society- one the son of the Lieutenant and the other, an inmate in the concentration camp overlooked by the lieutenant.

The word "rooting" can generally be used when in support of someone or something, like showing support for or wanting that particular thing to be a success. winner.

But this word is used in a different manner in the text when Bruno was looking in the fridge for any food that he can give to his friend from the "other side of the fence", Shmuel. The word is used here as a form of "looking for", implying that Bruno was looking for something in the fridge.

"Not wanting to look  at Shmuel’s hand any longer, Bruno turned round and opened the  refrigerator, rooting about inside it for something to eat."

The audience laughed hysterically at the comedian's joke.

a: without real emotion
b: full of energy
c: in a way that cannot be controlled
d: in a pleasant way

Answers

1) The answer to your question would be "conductor" (d). That is, the sentence would be as follows: The conductor held his baton while the orchestra waited for his signal. The orchestra needs to be directed by someone, so "conductor" is the right answer.

2) The word set that completes the analogy is the following one: Retain: release (a). First of all, "misplace" means "put an object in the wrong place and so lose it temporarily" and "regain" means "obtain possession or use of again after losing it". Therefore, retain/release completes the analogy because the first one means "continue to have, keep possession of" and "release" means "allow or enable to escape from confinement, set free".

3) The word "histerically" means "in a way that cannot be controlled" (c). "Histerically" means "with widly uncontrolled emotion".

1. Your answer is D. Conductor. The CONDUCTOR held his baton while the orchestra waited for his signal.
2. Your answer is A. Retain : release. So - Misplace : regain :: retain : release.
3. In the sentence "The audience laughed hysterically at the comedian's joke," the word "hysterically" means C. in a way that cannot be controlled.
