Select the correct text in the passage. Which three lines in this excerpt from Anita Desai's "Games at Twilight" clearly show an omniscient narrator?
They faced the afternoon. It was too hot. Too bright. The white walls of the veranda glared stridently in the sun. The bougainvillea hung about it
purple and magenta, in livid balloons. The garden outside was like a tray made of beaten brass, flattened out on the red gravel and the stony
soil in all shades of metalaluminum, tin, copper, and brass. No life stirred at this arid time of day-the birds still drooped, like dead fruit, in the
papery tents of the trees: some squirrels lay limp on the wet earth under the garden tap. The outdoor dog lay stretched as if dead on the
veranda mat, his paws and ears and tail all reaching out like dying travelers in search of water. He rolled his eyes at the children-two white
marbles rolling in the purple sockets, begging for sympathy-and attempted to lift his tail in a wag but could not. It only twitched and lay still.
Then. perhaps roused by the shrieks of the children, a band of parrots suddenly fell out of the eucalyptus tree, tumbled frantically in the still,
sizzling air, then sorted themselves out into battle formation and streaked away across the white sky.
The children, too. felt released. They too began tumbling. shoving, pushing against each other, frantic to start. Start what? Start their business.
The business of the children's day which is-play.

Which part of the story shows how kiara and tanya's differences affect their friendship? kiara and tanya were the best of friends. when they were 10 years old, they always went everywhere together. all their friends knew that if they found one of them, they would find the other. anyone who didn't know them thought that they were twins because both kiara and tanya had long, silky red hair and pale complexions. they were even similar in height and build. they were more like sisters than friends. but as similar as they were in appearance, they were just as different when it came to their personalities. this difference didn't affect their friendship, at least not for a long time. kiara always got out and participated in activities and competitions. tanya was happiest when reading a book at home. kiara was outgoing and talkative. tanya was quiet and shy. kiara was popular, and people were drawn to her because of her ability to make quick friends. tanya hardly had any friends besides kiara. as they grew older, kiara managed to make a large group of friends. tanya, on the other hand, still remained shy and reserved. this difference in their personalities eventually caused a rift between the two friends. tanya would refuse invitations to parties and movies that kiara invited her to. she just didn't want to hang out with people she didn't know that well. kiara couldn't understand why. she thought tanya disliked her friends. eventually, kiara and tanya both realized that they had outgrown one another. they still remained friends, but they were not as close as they once had been.
