Answer:

"Andre's heart sank. While he had been painting Mrs. Robinson's kitchen, someone else had casually driven off with his car. All his hard work had been for nothing."

Explanation:

Remember, the use of reflection to develop a narrative by an author often involves mentioning occurrences that led to a change of events.

In this instance, reflecting on the fact that Andre was painting Mrs. Robinson's kitchen, resulted in him unable to purchase the car he had in mind initially, thus, adding this detail leads to further development of the narrative.

Read the caption from When Birds Get Flu by John DiConsiglio. Epidemiologists worried that one or two sick chickens could infect

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The author most likely includes this supporting text to reinforce the case study's point that bird flu is dangerous.

Explanation:

The book "When Birds Get Flu" by John DiConsiglio delves into real cases of how people contract the bird flu. The book discusses infection cases and how avian influenza or bird flu began in Washington.

In the statement from the book, the author remarks that "one or two sick chickens could infect a whole town [which could in turn] infect the country—or even the world." By emphasizing the seriousness and infection level of the flu, John DiConsiglio seems to reinforce the dangerousness of the bird flu.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
