<span>If these were the missing choices: 

A. The first train consisted of thirty-four cars weighing, all told, ninety tons.
B. Before the time of Watt, the steam engine was exclusively a steam pump—slow and wasteful of fuel.
C. The idea of using steam for driving stationary machinery originated in the early centuries.
D. Watt made it a quick, powerful, and efficient engine, requiring only a fourth as much fuel as before.

My answer is D. WATT MADE IT A QUICK, POWERFUL, AND EFFICIENT ENGINE, REQUIRING ONLY A FOURTH AS MUCH FUEL AS BEFORE.

Though the passage is not given, I chose option D because it gives the benefit that others experienced from Watt's contribution.</span>

The similarities between narrative and drama
seraphim [82]

Drama usually indicates a piece of writing that is intended to be acted out - a performance on a stage of some sort with people acting as the characters in the story, allowing an audience to see the action unfold.

Poetry is frequently written with a particular awareness of the sound of the language being used. Poetry may or may not rhyme but the rhythm of the language will be of central importance and the author may have spent extra time working to achieve carefully crafted, vivid word pictures.

Short stories are just that - stories that are of a length that would ideally allow them to be read from start to finish in one sitting.

These can overlap - poetry can be presented as a dramatic play; a short story may be written in poetic form, etc. The three formats are different but not exclusive types of literature, presenting stories in three different formats.

List at least three different theories about the death of edgar allan poe.
BARSIC [14]
One theory is that Poe was beaten to death when he drank to much at the bar with his friends. He then wandered off and maybe ran into some guys who stole and beaten him to death.
Another cause of death could be from carbon monoxide poisoning. When Poe died his hair tested for certain heavy metals and it showed inconclusive. He could’ve got the poisoning from his indoor lighting but since the results were inconclusive no one is for sure.

The last theory could be a lot less sinister theory and that his flu could of turn for the worse and caught Pneumonia.
