...she seemed very surprised to see I was wearing a black tie and she asked me if I was in mourning. I told her
Maman had died. She wanted to know how long ago, so I said, "Yesterday" She gave a little start but I didn't
say anything. I felt like telling her it wasn't my fault, but I stopped myself because I remembered that I'd
already said that to my boss. (The Stranger, Part One, p. 20)
Based on the rest of the story, the underlined sentence in the excerpt above is an example of what literary technique?
foil character
repetition
sensory image
syntax

a. "to practice" is the best phrase to complete the sentence.

explanation:

during the summer, she likes to practice her soccer skills so that she is ready to play in the fall.

(note that : all the other options "the practicing of", "practice for" and "to do a practice on" are inappropriate as they make the sentence grammatically incorrect.)

the reason that neiterkob's daughter most likely tell the beginnings of the maasai is : to explain the readers the origin of maasai culture

with this explanation, the reader will grasp a better concept about it and not lost in the middle of reading.

                                            (hope this )

the novel is told in flashback
