Answer:

a

Explanation:

the colon introduces a list

Sharyn loved chocolate, ice cream, and coffee: but her doctor said they were off-limits.

A colon is a type of punctuation used to separate sentences, emphasise certain words or phrases, or begin a quote or explanation.

An element or group of items is introduced after a colon to highlight or emphasize the information that came before it.

Although utilizing a colon can seem confounding, its purpose is clear. Consider it as a flashing arrow that directs your attention to the content that follows. A colon typically implies "as follows," "which is/are," or "thus" when it appears in a sentence.

The colon indicates that what comes after it is an explanation or elaboration of what came before it. That is, after introducing a topic in broad terms, you can use a colon to explain the same topic in greater depth.

Therefore, Option (A) is correct.

Reread paragraphs 8–10. What are the author’s tone and point of view as he describes the start of the fire and the first attempts to extinguish it? How can you tell?

Paragraphs 8-10

The fire had started at about 4:40 that afternoon, when somebody on the eighth floor threw a cigarette or a match into one of the great scrapheaps of cotton left over from the tailoring process. The pile quickly burst into flames.

Somebody alerted the factory manager, Samuel Bernstein, who grabbed some nearby buckets of water and dumped them on the fire. They did little good. The cotton scraps were explosively flammable, more so than paper, and there was roughly a ton of the stuff piled on the eighth floor alone.

Bernstein dumped more buckets of water on the growing fire, but by this point they had no effect whatsoever, and the flames were spreading to the tissue paper patterns hanging above the wooden work desks. He ordered workers to drag a fire hose from a nearby stairwell. They opened the valve, but there was no pressure. As a historian of the fire, David Von Drehle, has argued, Bernstein made a fatalLinks to an external site. decision in those first three minutes. He could have spent the time fighting the fire or evacuating the nearly five hundred workers. Instead, he battled the exploding fire, to no effect. If he had spent the time evacuating, it is possible that nobody would have died that day.

Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

After the valuation, then came the division. I have no language to express the high excitement and deep anxiety which were felt among us poor slaves during this time. Our fate for life was now to be decided. We had no more voice in that decision than the brutes among whom we were ranked. A single word from the white men was enough--against all our wishes, prayers, and entreaties--to sunder forever the dearest friends, dearest kindred, and strongest ties known to human beings.

Douglass’s purpose in this excerpt is to

-entertain the reader with a suspenseful story.
-explain the difference between “valuation” and “division.”
-argue that no one else can understand his pain.
-inform the reader about the cruelty of slavery.

(22 pnts) Read the quotation by Dorothea Lange about the photo “Migrant Mother” from Years of Dust.

I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. . . . I did not ask her name or history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children had killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.

Now, read an excerpt about the photo from Years of Dust.

Lange, the children recalled, had promised not to publish the photo, but had done exactly that. It appeared on March 10, 1936, in the San Francisco News, above First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's weekly "My Day" column. Thompson saw the picture and felt betrayed. For the rest of her life, she resented Lange's use of her image for publicity. Thompson was an active woman, who had helped organize farm workers' unions. "She was a very strong woman," said daughter Katherine, seen in the photo by her mother's right shoulder. "She was a leader. I think that's one of the reasons she resented the photo—because it didn't show her in that light."

How do these two accounts differ?

A) Lange describes a situation that is more desperate than the true circumstances that Thompson’s daughter explains

B)Thompson’s daughter describes a situation that is more desperate than the true circumstances that Lange explains.

C) Lange describes a situation that is more lighthearted than the true circumstances that Thompson’s daughter explains.

D)Thompson’s daughter describes a situation that is more lighthearted than the true circumstances that Lange explains.
