Read each of the excerpts from The Awakening.

The youngsters came tumbling up the steps, the quadroon following at the respectful distance which they required her to observe. Mrs. Pontellier made them carry her paints and things into the house. She sought to detain them for a little talk and some pleasantry. But they were greatly in earnest. They had only come to investigate the contents of the bonbon box.

***
[Mrs. Pontellier] stood watching the fair woman walk down the long line of galleries with the grace and majesty which queens are sometimes supposed to possess. Her little ones ran to meet her. Two of them clung about her white skirts, the third she took from its nurse and with a thousand endearments bore it along in her own fond, encircling arms.

Which statement most accurately describes the effect these two scenes have on the plot structure of the novel?
They contribute to the falling action by providing further details about Mrs. Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle and the women’s relationships with their children.
They contribute to the rising action by providing further details about Mrs. Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle and the women’s relationships with their children.
They contribute to the resolution by providing further details about Mrs. Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle and the women’s relationships with their children.
They contribute to the exposition by providing further details about Mrs. Pontellier and Madame Ratignolle and the women’s relationships with their children.

Answers

Answer 1
Let me preface by saying “I am not sure” but my thoughts lead me towards the exposition.
Reasoning: exposition is meaning or purpose, this seems to be providing the fair woman with a foundation of her character’s meaning and role in the story.

services to personal care products to businesses inappropriate for young children. The billboards appeared on roads surrounding the
neighborhood and in residential parks. They are unsightly and hazardous to the residents in my neighborhood and the residents of Blueville.

Answers

Answer:

They are unsightly and hazardous to the residents in my neighborhood and the residents of Blueville.

Explanation:

A writer's claim is the main argument that is made by the writer. This can be about anything, which can be backed with evidence supporting the claim.

In the given passage, Tricia's claim is that the placement of billboards is "unsightly and hazardous to the residents [of her neighborhood] and the residents of Blueville." This is because such billboards "advertised everything from services to personal care products to businesses inappropriate for young children." It's for this reason that she opposes the placing of billboards around the neighborhood.

Thus, the statement that best serves as the writer's claim is

"They are unsightly and hazardous to the residents in my neighborhood and the residents of Blueville."

Answer:

They are unsightly and hazardous to the residents in my neighborhood and the residents of Blueville.

C. Relying on intelligence is better than relying on instinct.
D. Depending on others is critical to survival.

Answers

The option among the answer choices that represents one theme of "To Build a Fire" is "Depending on others is critical to survival," letter D, as seen below.

The definition of theme

Theme of a literary work is an idea, message or lesson we can find in the story. The same story can actually have more than one theme. In the short story "To Build a Fire," by Jack London, one of the main themes is about how depending on others is essential for people to survive.

The story develops such theme through the character's actions and his tragic ending. The main character is a man who goes out into the wilderness alone, ignoring the warning by an old man not to do so. He ends up dying because of the freezing temperatures as he is unable to start and maintain a fire.

Had the man heeded the warning or had he had a companion other than the dog, he would have likely survived. Therefore, this confirms that the theme of the story is option D.

Another way to save electricity, is to come together and stay in one room. This helps save energy because you don't have to turn on the light in every room in the house, just use the one in that single room. When you are not using a device, unplug it! The device is using up electricity to charge itself, that is wasteful and you are losing electricity. Instead of putting your clothes in a washing machine, hang it out to dry. It is more natural and saves you electricity These are all simple things that you can do, day to day to save electricity!

What would remain unclear if the writer had not included the statistic in sentence 3

Answers

Answer: why Annie made the changes she did

Explanation:

The first sentence stated that "Finally, on June 25, 1894, she was off". The sentence along with the second sentence doesn't give information regarding the reason for Annie made the changes that she made.

The sentence three stated that "It had taken her three months to travel approximately 1,300 miles, and she had more than 20,000 miles left to cover".

Without the writer not including the statistic in sentence 3, it'll have been unclear why Annie made the changes she did.
