Which of the following statements best describes Warbuckle's relationship with his daughter Ellie Mae?
Which of the following statements best describes Warbuckle's relationship with his daughter Ellie Mae?
There is nothing in this conversation which indicates that Harold is particularly "proud" of his daughter. A "proud" father feels satisfaction or pleasure in the accomplishments of his children.
This statement is false. A "mean" person is cruel or insulting. There no indication of Warbuckle being mean to his daughter in this conversation. On the contrary, Warbuckle is very kind to Ellie Mae throughout this scene.
This statement is false. A "strict" person is severe and often adheres to rules and regulations. "Strict parents" generally do not allow their children much freedom. Example: My father is so strict. He never lets me out after 8 at night and makes me study on the weekend. Ellie Mae asks Warbuckle if she can have a horse and he immediately agrees, indicating that he is not strict at all.
This statement accurately describes Warbuckle's relationship with his daughter. The verb "to spoil", in this context, means to treat someone with extreme kindness and generosity to a fault. "Spoiled" children generally receive everything they demand. The best indication that Harold "spoils" his daughter Ellie Mae is that he immediately agrees to buy her a horse after being asked. Note that in another context, the verb "to spoil" can also mean to "ruin" or "destroy" something.

Sam says, "Let's not split hairs".
What does he mean by this?

Sam says, "Let's not split hairs".
What does he mean by this?
What does he mean by this?
This is not the best choice."To lose one's temper" is to become angry and lose control. This is not what Sam is saying here.
Sam is not asking Bruno to avoid "ruining" or "spoiling" the lunch, but rather he is saying that he doesn't want to argue about the small difference between the interest rate Bruno mentions and the interest rate which Sam talks about.
The expression "to beat around the bush" means to avoid addressing an issue directly. It is a tactic often used by politicians trying to avoid commenting on controversial matters. When someone does not want to say or admit something, they often "beat around the bush". Example: The politician beat around the bush for several hours before finally admitting that he had tried to seduce the goat.
This is the best choice. The expression "to split hairs" means to make fine distinction between two things that are essentially the same or very close to one another. In the dialogue, Sam points out that the rate of interest is not 1%, as suggested by Bruno, but rather 0.95%. The difference between the two rates is very small, thus Sam acknowledges that he is "splitting hairs" by pointing out the difference.
