Alfonso studied the magazine pictures of rock stars for a hairstyle. He liked the way Prince looked—and the bass player from Los Lobos. Alfonso thought he would look cool with his hair razored into a V in the back and streaked purple. But he knew his mother wouldn’t go for it. And his father, who was puro Mexicano, would sit in his chair after work, sullen as a toad, and call him "sissy.”

Alfonso didn’t dare color his hair. But one day he had it butched on the top, like in the magazines. His father had come home that evening from a softball game, happy that his team had drilled four homers in a thirteen-to-five bashing of Color Tile. He’d swaggered into the living room but had stopped cold when he saw Alfonso and asked, not joking but with real concern, "Did you hurt your head at school? ¿Qué pasó?”

A student is writing a paragraph that makes the point that Alfonso’s father is not a very likable character. Which would provide the best example of this point?

Soto’s description of the father swaggering and being “sullen as a toad”
Soto’s description of the father as “happy that his team had drilled four homers”
Soto’s description of the father who would just “sit in his chair” and had just “stopped cold”
Soto’s description of the father asking “with real concern” if Alfonso hurt his head

How does the analogy help the reader to understand the meaning of the word arable in this excerpt?

And in many ways the animal method of doing things was more efficient and saved labour. Such jobs as weeding, for instance, could be done with a thoroughness impossible to human beings. And again, since no animal now stole, it was unnecessary to fence off pasture from arable land, which saved a lot of labour on the upkeep of hedges and gates. Nevertheless, as the summer wore on, various unforeseen shortages began to make them selves felt.
