The correct passage which best reflects common features of realistic fiction is:

From a window of an apartment house that upreared its form from amid squat, ignorant stables, there leaned a curious woman. Some laborers, unloading a scow at a dock at the river, paused for a moment and regarded the fight. The engineer of a passive tugboat hung lazily to a railing and watched. Over on the Island, a worm of yellow convicts came from the shadow of a building and crawled slowly along the river's bank.

Answer:

From a window of an apartment house that upreared its form from amid squat, ignorant stables, there leaned a curious woman. Some laborers, unloading a scow at a dock at the river, paused for a moment and regarded the fight. The engineer of a passive tugboat hung lazily to a railing and watched. Over on the Island, a worm of yellow convicts came from the shadow of a building and crawled slowly along the river's bank.

(Stephen Crane, Maggie: A Girl of the Streets)

Explanation:

This is the excerpt that best reflects common features of realistic fiction. Realistic fiction refers to writing which is not actually a true story (it is not historical), but nevertheless resembles reality very closely. Therefore, this type of writing usually describes setting, characters and events that are believable in a real life scenario. In this example, the author describes an apartment house, laborers at the dock, the engineer of a tugboat and a group of convicts. All of these images are consistent with reality.

PLEASE HELP!!! Willing To Type Short Response To This

Answer:

The leaders of the American Revolution made three great gambles. First, they sought independence from the powerful British Empire, becoming the first colonies in the Americas to revolt and seek independence from their mother empire. Second, they formed a union of thirteen states, which was also unprecedented, for the colonies had long histories of bickering with one another. Third, the revolutionaries committed their new states to a republic, then a radical and risky form of government. In a republic, the people were the sovereign—rejecting the rule of a monarch and aristocrats. Today we take for granted that governments elected by the people can be stable, long lasting, and effective. But the Americans in the new nation were not so sure, given the lessons of history. In 1789, the United States was the only large republic in the world; the others were a handful of small city-states scattered in Europe, and none of the larger republics in the history of the world had lasted very long. Like the ancient republic of Rome, they had collapsed and reverted to some form of tyranny, usually by a military dictator.

Any one of those three gambles was an enormous risk. The miracle was that the revolutionaries pulled off all three of them, winning their war against the British, and securing a generous boundary in the peace treaty of 1783: west to the Mississippi, south to Florida, and north to the Great Lakes, with the Atlantic Ocean as the eastern boundary.

During the mid-1780s, however, the new nation seemed about to collapse as quickly as it had been created. The first constitution of the United States was the Articles of Confederation, adopted in 1781. It proved too weak to control the powerful state governments. Unable directly to tax people, the confederation lacked its own revenue and could not afford an army or a navy, or even to pay the interest on its massive war debt. American Indians defied the confederation, and the Europeans insisted that no republic could endure on such a big geographic scale.

Plus the states were roiled by social conflicts between the wealthy gentlemen and the common people over issues of credit or debit. Gentlemen faulted the state governments for pandering to common voters by offering to relieve debtors at the expense of their creditors, those gentlemen who had loaned them money and goods. The gentlemen concluded that the state governments were too democratic, which meant too responsive to public opinion. And when a rare state government did favor the creditors, it provoked resistance from armed farmers.

Lapatulllka [165]

The first human author to make biblical record was Moses and it was written in Hebrew. One can argue that all the records in the Bible are not manipulated but they are all words by God which was written by pious men.

Answer:

Bible rightly foretold the events that would happen in the future. We could find in the Old Testament the perfect place and lineage of Jesus birth. There are archaeological evidences to prove the historical reliability of the Bible. Jesus Archaeologist while excavating the Mediterranean sea found the limestone block of Pontius Pilate who oversaw Jesus trial. Jesus was crucified with nails when many people said it was not the way men were crucified those days archaeologists have now discovered victims bone ossuaries which had bones of men where nails were driven through the heels.
