Answer:

Option A. The author uses anecdotal evidence to support the claim that solar energy helps the power grid.

Explanation:

The excerpt from "Catching Sun Rays" recounts the time on August 14th, 2003 where across the Northeast of the United States and Canada more than 55 million people were without power due to a massive blackout after a hot day. The author is using this story as support for the claim that solar energy is a better option that electric energy as it puts less pressure on power grids which would translate in fewer blackouts. The evidence is anecdotal as it is not based on research or data but rather is a recollection of a story that although fitting into the main theme of the story, it is not necessarily true or reliable to the topic it is supporting.

Answer:

The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt
Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island

Explanation:

If you have read this book you know that Rainsford has a conflict with Zaroff after falling into the sea. This man gets his own island to hunt and is a brilliant sportsman who has developed an innovative type of hunting games. Their basic goal is to train people whose ships are wrecked because it gives them food and knives for a few days. After that, Zaroff begins to hunt them down so they need to survive to win this kind of strange game and stay alive. The worst part is that he kills them if he can find these poor men.

For this reason, based on this, we can conclude that the logical predictions that a reader can make based on the excerpt are:

The general will force Rainsford to participate in the hunt

Rainsford will attempt to escape from the island
