Read this excerpt from a short story. Liam navigated the busy park, scanning the crowd for his friends. They had agreed to meet at the water slide, and soon the towering steps came into view. He spotted Rachel and Marco by the inner tubes, and soon the three were racing to the top of the slide. There were over a hundred wooden stairs to climb, but the friends usually climbed them without pause. This time, however, their progress was slowed by a surprising mid-day crowd. Spiraling up the stairs were dozens of eager park patrons, each gripping a slippery tube. Liam shook his head and told his friends they would need a little more patience than usual waiting for their favorite view from the top. What complication is introduced in the excerpt?

Answer:

C. Marco and his friends have to wait in a long line.

Explanation:

It is NOT D. Park patrons are not following the rules of the slide.

"This time, however, their progress was slowed by a surprising mid-day crowd. "

This is the complication.

The complication that is introduced in the excerpt is that C. Marco and his friends have to wait in a long line.

This refers to the telling of a story, usually with the aid of a narrator by showing the sequence of events and how they occurred.

Hence, we can see that from the given excerpt, there is the use of narration to show the navigation to the park by Liam and how Marco and his friends have to wait in a very long line as this was unexpected.

They usually climbed the long stairs without a pause, but this time there was a crowd, so they had to go slower than before.

(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.

E) Both A and D
