I already answered the question but here it is again:

The correct answer is B. to keep readers from realizing at the start that no humans are present.

Indeed, Bradbury’s story is intended to warn readers that the inevitable consequence of an all-out nuclear war is the extinction of the human race. His story is inspired by the much earlier poem from American poetess Sarah Teasdale, who wrote the poem of the same title in the aftermath of World War I, which until then had been the most devastating conflict in the history of the world at that time. Since the house is a mechanical entity; it stresses the fact that it was built by humans but since no humans are present anymore, their absence is all the more noticed and the, dramatic impact for readers is stronger and everlasting.

Into what kind of family was Milton born in
harina [27]

Answer:

John Milton was an English poet that was born in England in 1608 and died in 1674. He was best known for his epic <em>Paradise Lost</em>, and because of his strong belief in liberty and also in the right that people had to read and interpret the Bible by themselves.

The fact that Milton was born into a Protestant family, from the Church of England, was really important because first, it marked his belief in the individual reading and interpretation of the Bible, and second, because he almost became a priest himself. The second important thing about his family is that his father was an amateur composer, which marked and influenced Milton´s own passion for music and also the importance of it to his poetry later in life.
