Into the Mist
Detective Glasburry grabbed his coat and slipped silently out the door.
All around him, the London streets were filled with fog. He could barely
see several feet into the distance. Somewhere out there was the
evidence he was looking for. Just as the sun would eventually burn off
this concealing fog, so, too, would he evaporate the layers of mystery
surrounding the missing key. He smiled with pleasure as the knot of
the mystery began to unravel itself in his mind. The key, he realized,
had once been in the possession of Mrs. Amelia Melongood,
How do the authors of these two passages achieve their purposes?
A. The author of "Film Flop" convinces readers of his opinion about a
movie, while the author of "Into the Mist" entertains readers by
narrating a story
B. Both authors inform readers about the plot and characters of the
Glasburry Mystery series.

Answer:

The authors of these two passages achieve their purposes in the following manner:

A. The author of "Film Flop" convinces readers of his opinion about a movie, while the author of "Into the Mist" entertains readers by narrating a story.

Explanation:

The two passages show completely different types of texts. The first passage presents the author's opinion. He talks about a certain movie, compares it to the books that gave birth to it, and concludes that the movie is a waste of time and money since it lacks depth. On the other hand, the second passage is a narrative. The author is telling us a story rather than presenting an opinion. The word choice and tone are less direct, their purpose being to describe the setting and the character's actions and thoughts vividly. With that in mind, we can safely choose letter A as the correct option:

A. The author of "Film Flop" convinces readers of his opinion about a movie, while the author of "Into the Mist" entertains readers by narrating a story.

Ode to enchanted light by Pablo Neruda

Under the trees light

has dropped from the top of the sky,

light

like a green

latticework of branches,

shining

on every leaf,

drifting down like clean

white sand.



A cicada sends

its sawing song

high into the empty air.



The world

is a glass overflowing

with water.

1937, Spam became important to the diet of American soldiers during World War ll who could not get fresh meat on the front lines. Since US soldiers occupied many Pacific islands,

Read the excerpt from "Benin Plaque: The Oba with Europeans.”

These were enormous and belief-shattering ideas for many people in the nineteenth century, but time was also changing in a much more day-to-day, or rather hour-to-hour, way. Thanks to clockmakers like Earnshaw, precise and reliable clocks and watches became ever more affordable. Before long the whole of Britain was running by the clock, and the measurement of time had been severed from the natural cycle of days and seasons. The clock ruled every aspect of life – shops and schools, pleasure and work. As Charles Dickens wrote, ‘There was even railway time observed in clocks, as if the sun itself had given in.’

Which central idea is best supported by the details in the excerpt?

The invention of affordable timepieces led many to become clockmakers.
People in Britain began wearing watches as a fashion accessory.
As more people began to own clocks, society embraced standardized time.
Many people in Britain voiced a preference for the natural cycle of days.
