The answer is: The pacing slows down the text with deliberate and descriptive language, which gives the story a mysterious atmosphere.

In the excerpt from "After Twenty Years," the author O. Henry describes the winter scene with details about the weather and the how the people in the street are behaving, which gives a sense of mystery to the story.

The rest of the options are incorrect because the events in the passage do not depict surprise, humor or alarm. Besides, there is no further description of the man, and the pacing is not fast.

All we see around us is made up of nature – trees, flowers, plants, animals, sky, mountains, woods, and more. Humans are reliant on nature to survive. Nature provides us with oxygen, food, water, shelter, medicines, and clothing. Many colors can be found in nature, which contribute to the beauty of the planet. Nature also provides food and shelter to animals, fish, and insects.

The sun and water given by nature help trees to grow. Humans should avoid harming the natural world in order to meet their own needs. Nature is critical for the survival and development of life on Earth. It is all a cycle of how it all works out for everyone the trees depend on the sun and the water from the rain forth survival the creatures depend on water like rivers or ocean and trees or other animals for survival the sand how certain animals lay their eggs and reproduce in the end nature helps every single living thing in this planet live and help the rest live.

Think about the things you do on a regular basis. What values are reflected in your daily activities?

zaharov [31]

Answer:

I value saving the planet, health, nature, being able to care of myself and my loved ones, having security, independence, kindness, and serenity.

I reflect these values by living a frugal lifestyle, saving my money so that I can have enough to take care of myself and my family no matter what life throws our way.

I also do my best to leave a low (carbon) footprint on the world with my lifestyle. Frugal living goes hand-in-hand with this. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Eating a vegan diet reflects these values as well, as I feel it is the optimum diet for good health and is also easier on the planet and of course is kinder to the animals we share our world with. I am very much against big agra farming and especially CAFO farming for animal meat.

To this end I grow as many of our own vegetables as I can and I shop local as much as possible. This is better for our own health and the health of planet Earth.

I try to live a very simple life filled with family, and abundance of good, fresh food, and enough savings to feel comfortable and secure. And that is how I try to to align my values with my daily life.

hope it's helpful

thank you
