Read the passage.

The cost of health care is rising in America. The amount that an average family must pay for insurance has increased by 3 percent in just two years. For families buying insurance on an exchange or privately, the increase is an astounding 25 percent. At this rate, health care, which includes visits to a typical family doctor, specialists for anything from a knee injury to cancer, and the emergency room, will be unaffordable for most Americans in 10 years or sooner. I know this because my family is an average American family—and we are worried.

Which statement describes the claim?

The writer’s family is an average American family struggling to pay for health care.
Health care will continue to rise by 3 to 25 percent each year for the next 10 years.
Health insurance is becoming too expensive for most American families to afford.
The average American family is paying more for health insurance than they did before.

Which detail shows a foreshadowing structure in the text?
A Day's Lodging
by Jack London (adapted excerpt)
He urged the dogs to their work again. He had travelled on the frozen surface of a great river. Behind him it stretched away in a mighty curve of many miles, losing itself in
a fantastic jumble of mountains, snow-covered and silent. Ahead of him the river split into many channels to accommodate the freight of islands it carried on its breast.
These islands were silent and white; no animals nor humming insects broke the silence; no birds flew in the chill air. There was no sound of man, nor mark of the
handiwork of man---the world slept.
John Messner seemed succumbing to the apathy of it all as the frost was benumbing his spirit. He plodded on with bowed head, unobservant, mechanically rubbing nose
and cheeks, and batting his steering hand against the gee-pole in the straight trail-stretches. But the dogs were observant, and suddenly they stopped, turning their heads
and looking back at their master out of eyes that were wistful and questioning. Their eyelashes were frosted white, as were their muzzles, and they had all the seeming of
decrepit old age, what of the frost-rime and exhaustion.

Answer:

The correct text in the passage which details a foreshadowing structure is

"There was no sound of man, nor a mark of the handiwork of man---the world slept."

Explanation:

Foreshadowing in literature refers to the hint at an impending problem, happenstance, or sudden change or turn of events.

Writers usually achieve this via the dialogue between characters', comments by the narrator which. Sometimes the narrator can make reference to a prophecy. A prophecy can also be put forward using one of the characters.

In this case, the foreshadowing came via the narrator.

Notice from the excerpt that it starts by saying "he (John Messner) urged the dogs to their work again.

He (the traveler, John Mesner) must have been in transit from to or from the lodging, using a sled driven by dogs for this was hinted at in the opening sentence of the excerpt.

Fast forward to sentence 6, the narrator states "There was no sound of man, no mark of the handiwork of man---the world slept."

If there was no sound of a man... that must have included the traveler either at the time when the observation was made or much later in the actual occurrence when the dogs, observant, suddenly stopped, turning heads and looked back at their masters mournfully. [See sentence 9]

One cannot easily realize what a tremendous thing it is to know every trivial detail of twelve hundred miles of river and know it with absolute exactness. If you will take the longest street in New York and travel up and down it, conning its features patiently until you know every house and window and lamppost and big and little sign by heart, and know them so accurately that you can instantly name the one you are abreast of when you are set down at random in that street in the middle of an inky black night, you will then have a tolerable notion of the amount and the exactness of a pilot's knowledge who carries the Mississippi River in his head.

How does Mary Shelley vary the tone of her writing in letters 1–4 of Frankenstein? Support your response with evidence from the text.

Answers

Answer:

Based on what I'm reading, it seems that the tone in the first two letters is apprehension. In letter 1, he is more hopeful for what the future holds, and in letter 2, he seems to get more impatient in finding someone who shares his interests. He befriends a man taken in by his ship, which parallels the relationship between man and monster, and suggests that the two may not be so different, hence their developed friendship and trust in each other.

Hope this helps, good luck!

(this is somebody elses answer but i do hope it helps)

Answer:

Mary Shelley changes the tone of the story from enthusiastic to foreboding in letters 1–4. Though Walton initially sounds excited about his journey, he reveals his loneliness to his sister. When Walton meets Frankenstein, his mood brightens. He immediately looks up to Frankenstein as the friend he always wanted, even though he does not know much about him.

The tone becomes foreboding when Victor warns Walton about the danger of too much ambition: "You seek for knowledge and wisdom, as I once did; and I ardently hope that the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you, as mine has been."

This kind of foreshadowing in the form of a prophecy, warning, or prediction is typical of gothic novels.

read the following passage from “resistance to civil government” by Henry David Thoreau:
Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. it does not keep the country free. it does not settle the west. it does not educate. the character inherent in the american people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way.

how does Thoreau use a parallelism in this passage?

a. to emphasize the words “but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way”

b. to draw attention to what the american people do that the government doesn’t

c. to add the surprising revelation that the government gets in the way of progress

d. to compare the government to an obstacle, such as a tall mountain or river

Answers

C would be the answer

The use of parallelism within the passage does insinuate that the government is but an obstacle obstructing advancement, but there was nothing that hinted the government to being as obstructive as a mountain/river, so D is out.

The other answers are simply irrelevant
