Answer
6. **c. Raincloud** A raincloud is a common symbol of sadness and gloom, which aligns with the feelings of loneliness and low self-worth expressed in the lines. A broken heart is too literal, a popped balloon represents a sudden end or disappointment, and spitballs are more associated with childish mischief than long-term emotional states.7. **a. Contrast of dots and lines** While the prompt mentions "branch grafted onto a different family tree," suggesting growth, the core idea is the *difference* between the adopted person and their new family. This difference is best represented visually by contrasting dots and lines, symbolizing separate entities brought together. The other options focus on natural growth or specific visual elements not directly related to the concept of adoption as a joining of different elements.8. **d. Shooting missile** An "arsenal" implies a collection of weapons ready to be deployed. A shooting missile best captures the aggressive and hurtful nature of name-calling, suggesting that names can be launched like weapons to inflict emotional harm. The other options are not as fitting: a broken line doesn't convey the idea of an arsenal, a circus tent is associated with entertainment, and "pork chop head" is a specific insult rather than a representation of a collection of hurtful names.
