Read the following passages:
But looking, I presently saw something stirring within the
shadow. ... Then something resembling a little gray snake,
about the thickness of a walking stick, coiled up out of the
writhing middle and wriggled in the air toward me and
then another."
-H. G. Wells, The War of the Worlds
Good heavens, something's wriggling out of the shadow
like a gray snake. Now it's another one, and another. They
look like tentacles to me.
-Orson Welles's radio adaptation of War of the Worlds
What choice does Welles make that causes the radio broadcast to feel like it
is happening live?
A. He changes the perspective to the first person.
B. He changes the verbs to present tense.
O C. He changes the details of the scene to be more frightening.
D. He changes the tone of the story to be less dramatic.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: B. He changes the verbs to present tense.

Explanation:

In the adaptation, the biggest difference made was how he worded it to make it sound like it was happening in present tense.

Details were changed but not enough for it to be the main reason that the story felt like it was happening live so C. and D. are wrong.

The perspective was already in first person to begin with so A. is wrong as well.

The only option left is B. and we can see that he does change the story to be in present tense which is a good explanation as to how the story sounded like it was happening live.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

The use of present tense verbs also creates a sense of urgency and tension, which heightens the suspense and makes the audience feel more engaged in the story. Thus, option B is correct.

What is the  present tense verb?

Present tense verbs are verbs that describe actions that are currently happening or habitual actions. In English, present tense verbs typically end in "-s" in the third person singular form (e.g. "he walks," "she talks," "it runs") and do not require an auxiliary verb (e.g. "is," "are," "am") to form the present tense.

Examples of present tense verbs in the present simple tense include "I walk," "you talk," "we run," "they eat." In the context of the passage, the use of present tense verbs in Orson Welles's radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds creates a sense of immediacy and makes the events feel like they are happening in real-time.

The population in Florida saw a very large increase from the 1950s and beyond. The space program in the 1950s provided thousands of jobs. It also improved the economy. It was called the space race as the USA and Russia were trying to see who could put a man on the moon first. What was one of the disadvantages of this quick increase in population and jobs?

Answers

Answer: Urban Sprawl

Explanation:

Urban sprawl is a term used to describe the rapid increase of an urban area in an unplanned manner. This usually happens when an urban area is forced to accommodate a population that the city planners did not account for.

Urban Sprawl is disadvantageous because it can lead to a host of problems such as the loss of wildlife habitats, air and water pollution, loss of agricultural land and increased traffic.

Florida had to endure all these as a result of the rapid increase in population that it underwent.

Based on what you just learned about the great awakening and religious life in the colonies, why would a sermon be popular to read?

Answers

Answer:

Sermon reading was popular because the settlers were very religious and had religion as an important part of their lives. In addition, sermon reading allowed for socialization among the settlers because they could talk about the sermons and bring the entire community together for the reading.

Explanation:

Several colonies were created by people who were fleeing religious persecution in their countries. This means that these people had religion as something so important in their lives that they preferred to leave their homelands, to venture into a completely new and unknown territory, but that would allow them to exercise the religion they wanted, without reprisals. Furthermore, the colonies were created by Europeans, who had great faith in religion and God's provision for those who were obedient.

This made the settlers take religion very seriously, even in American territory. The teachings of each religion were disseminated through the reading of sermons, which was a very important part of colonial life, as it strengthened the religiosity and brought the whole community together.

Answer:

A. Religion was important to colonists.

D. Others in the community would read and talk about sermons.

Write debate supporting the motion Should Parents decide le Course of Study for for their children"​

Answers

Answer:

  Desire of parents — Every teen should be more grateful to his or her parents in this world. Parents are the ones who suffer a lot of difficulties and bring up their kids so that they can live a healthy and happier life. Every parent wants to see their children well settled in their life. Thus, they have the right to choose a better career for their kids.

  Reduces the pressure on children — Thinking of making a suitable career takes on a serious note mostly during the application times. So, children should leave the choice of their career on their parents and focus on the ongoing exams. They should not be under pressure in anyways.

  Maturity — Teens may sometimes land up in taking wrong decisions about their career. Even if parents do not make their career choice, they can at least guide their kids to make a good decision. Parents are the burning candle in the life of a student.

  Support — Parents provide immense help to their kids by guiding and choosing them a right career path. No parents would like to spoil their child's future by taking a wrong decision.

  Experience — We should always remember that parents are much more experienced than the children. They have seen the world better than their kids, and thus, their decision would be better and correct.

  Right Career Choice — Children should choose their career

  Right to choose – Every child has the right to choose their career, and they have the right to live their dreams.

  Knows himself/herself better – A child can only know his or her interests and abilities better than anyone else. They know their subjects and areas of interest and thus, can decide his or her career path quickly.

  Interesting – If children choose a career according to the wishes of their parents, they will have a boring academic life as they would face a lack of interest. College life is the best phase of a student's life. To enjoy this phase and make it more interesting, a child should choose his/her career path.

  Facing pressure – If you follow a career path chosen by your parents and which is not of your interest, you will have to meet a lot of challenges and pressure. To avoid such situations, choose a career which interests you the most.

  Parents like their kids might also have had some dream in their teenage. Most of the parents fail to achieve their goals due to family or financial issues. In such cases, parents may force their kids to adopt their dreams. They try to see themselves in their kids.

  Admission time is a crucial period in the life of most of the students. It is always better that parents and children should decide together on the career they would pursue. Teens can get the information about the latest trends while the parents can get their practical experience to the table to make a decision.

In the blink of an eye, Azrael would go from a picture-perfect partner to a man from Hell. Every night he would arrive back to their cozy home smelling of cheap perfume and covered in marks of love. If June mentioned either of these signs of lust, Azrael would grow aggressive, leaving June covered in bruises and her own blood. June went from this bright and naturally stunning woman to a plain canvas harshly painted with strokes of blacks and blues.  June's enthusiastic and loveable personality slowly faded, and in its place, a new figure filled this space. June, who was once outspoken and confident, was now soft-spoken and frightened. Others in the town noticed these changes and bruises but never discussed these signs of danger. Junes eyes opened to the sound of movement in her room The last thing June saw before blacking out was the moonlight reflecting off his harrowing eyes and a glimpse of the silver gun at his waist. When June's eyes fluttered open yet again, the silver gun that was once at his waist was now firmly pressed against her head. He held her close in what should have been a loving embrace but instead left her terrified. He brought his lips close to her ear while slowly moving the gun to her heart and whispered, "till death do us part." June closed her eyes as a single tear trickled down her cheek. The intense sound of two gunshots rang out loudly in the night. The townsfolk were left in a frenzy to find the source of this sound. They continued their search unsuccessfully as the night waisted away to dawn. With the light of morning, the townspeople happened upon the woeful sight of the lifeless bodies of the two star-crossed lovers laid in a puddle of crimson.

Read the passage from "The Tell-Tale Heart.”

I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture–a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees–very gradually–I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded—with what caution—with what foresight—with what dissimulation I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him.

How is suspense created for the reader in this passage?
