A erupting
В.
active
C
joyous
D
thankful

Joyous

Explanation:

Obviously if school was canceled, the students would be joyous.

They might be thankful, yes, but will most likely have more joy than gratitude because they are high schoolers who are probably not as focused on showing gratitude, but more on the fact that there is no school.

They are probably not really "active," which makes it sound like they are running laps because they are so happy.

And if they are erupting, that would make it sound like they are mad, like they are erupting with anger.

So joyous makes the most since.

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).

i think the answer is invented words, rhyming knack, alliteration, and, metaphor.
