Dear Naina,
Hope you have settled down is Mumbai and started off with your new job. Life without you quite boring out here. So a sudden thought occurred to me that why don’t I pen down a letter to you. So here I am writing to you about what’s going on in the City of Joy.
The winter season has set in soon this time so the pleasant weather has coloured the mood and feel of the city as well. Kolkata is prepping up for all the big fairs, festivals and more. Recently, the food festival “Ahare Bangla” was held in Salt Lake. Mom and I went to give our palates a treat! I missed you very much though my partner in crime! The festival had so many items. There were stalls from Japan, Russia and many more foreign countries.
Being a foodie, you know what had been my condition. I couldn’t understand where to start from. The Russian salad and the Japanese street food were my favourites. Also, last weekend the Pink ball Test match between India and Bangladesh was held in our prestigious Eden Gardens Stadium for which a day before the match most of the eminent buildings of Kolkata had dressed in pink colours to mark this historical event. Well, Christmas and New Year plus a number of fares are also coming up. I’ll keep you updated about them.
Do tell me about Mumbai and what you are up to. I will be waiting for your reply. Take care!
Your dearest friend,
Sakshi
Answer:
The condition of the room and its contents cause Mr. Utterson and Inspector Newcomen to plan a trip to the bank in hopes of catching Mr. Hyde.
Explanation:
The excerpt in the question came from the fourth chapter titled the Carew Murder Case. We can see in this chapter that inspector Newcomen and Mr. Utterson had been questioning Mr. Hyde's actions since they had seen him behave suspicious lately. The investigators visited Mr. Hyde's room during the investigation and pointed out that his house was in a mess. The inspectors then decided that Mr. Hyde may not know what happened in his house so they went straight to the bank to investigate further. They learned on their arrival at the bank that his account was loaded with millions of pounds. The scene strengthens the story because it finally shows enough evidence for the prosecutor and the officer to continue investigating Hyde and trying to prove his guilt.

Remember, the English word foreshadowing refers to a brief detail or scene that shows something that will occur again in the future. Indeed, this was the case in "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortazar.
For example, in the story a foreshadow of a shift in the tone of the story begins when we read about Elvio;
“I went down the corridor as far as the oak door, which was ajar, then turned into the hall toward the kitchen, when <em>I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through muted and indistinct, a chair being knocked over onto the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation...</em>I heard it. ....toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and shut it...I ran the great bolt into place, just to be safe.”
Interestingly, from that point on the house became taken over by strange noises. In the end, the siblings been fully frightened left their ancestral home, that is when the true meaning title of the story becomes clearer. Indeed, it became a "House Taken Over".
In this speech, Michelle Obama seeks to promote her programe "Let Girls Learn" and celebrate its first anniversary. Ms Obama firstly explains that this programe arouse from the anger and outrage that the lack of education for women worldwide caused her and all people involved. She states that barriers for girls education are not merely economical, but attitudinal and legal. "In my lifetime" she says "it was perfectly legal for employers to discrimate against women". She further explains that the rights that women gained and now posse are being taken for granted while they are "at risk of being rolled back". These rights, she explained, were attained through protests and negociations, and for this, education was key.
She then provides touching examples of girls from developing countries and how they fought to beat their circumstances and become their own person. Because, she claims, "girls know that education is their only path to self sufficiency, the only chance of shaping their own fate".
Finally, she praises the US Government for leading the way in the issue, through scholarships, investments and the building of infrastructure. She explains that big corporations and even other countries like Japan, the UK and South Korea are involved in the project, along with people worldwide who participates and volunteer.
Ms. Obama is clearly involved with this issue, and the emotion can be felt through her words. The information she shares is veridic and reliable. And even though she seeks to promote her programe and her husband's administration in the process, I believe she is truly commited to helping women around the world.
