Answer 2

Answer:

1. - A) resentful curiosity.

2. - "A smaller bomb and incendiaries had fallen beyond, so that the house stuck up like a jagged tooth and carried on the further wall relics of its neighbor, a dado, the remains of a fireplace".

3. - Direct object.

4. Object of the preposition.

Explanation:

1. Blackie feels a kind of resentful curiosity about t's new gang as it best states her complex and multilayered inquisitive emotion.

2. The above-provided quote justifies the title as well as establishes the setting and situation of the story which chronicles the destruction of the house by the gang.

3. 'RUNNING' here illustrates the direct object as it follows the transitive verb and it is the thing or activity which is acted upon.

4. "STAYING FOCUSED" exemplifies the object of the preposition as it follows the preposition.
