Which details show that part of the author’s purpose is to pay tribute to others? Excerpt from Desert Exile: The Uprooting of a

Japanese-American Family By Yoshiko Uchida As soon as we got off the bus, we were directed to an area beneath the grandstand where we registered and filled out a series of forms. Our baggage was inspected for contraband, a cursory medical check made, and our living quarters assigned. We were to be housed in Barrack 16, Apartment 40. Fortunately, some friends who had arrived earlier found us and offered to help us locate our quarters. It had rained the day before and the hundreds of people who had trampled on the track had turned it into a miserable mass of slippery mud. We made our way on it carefully, helping my mother who was dressed just as she would have been to go to church. She wore a hat, gloves, her good coat, and her Sunday shoes, because she would not have thought of venturing outside our house dressed in any other way. A. Their baggage was inspected before they were assigned housing. B. People seek out friends and help them get settled. C. They were directed to an area beneath the grandstand. D. Hundreds of people had trampled on the track.

Answer:

The best option seems indeed to be the second one:  B. People seek out friends and help them get settled.

Explanation:

To pay tribute to someone means to say or do something that shows admiration for them.

In the excerpt we are studying here, the narrator makes a point of mentioning how friends, who were in a similar situation having lost their homes, were kind and concerned enough to come and help the narrator's family to find their apartment. That is the author's way of showing them respect: by publicly praising them.

If a reporter receives an anonymous tip claiming that the sheriff is taking payouts from a local gang, what must the reporter as
Law Incorporation [45]

<u>The correct answer is A. What proof the tipster is able to provide.</u>

The reason why it's anonymous is probably because <em>the person providing the information doesn't feel comfortable providing their identity</em>. That's why we have so many tip lines that assure us we won't be asked for our names, information about where we live or even how we know what we know. All they care about is the information we provide and the accuracy of it.

Hence the correct answer can't be C or D. Just imagine what would happen to the tipster if they are quoted or exposed. They want the crime to stop but they don't want to be harmed for being the people talking about it.

In order to stop the crime or expose it, it is<u><em> necessary</em></u> for the reporter to have <em>concrete evidence</em> of it. Without proof, the reporter won't be able to check if the tip is true. His reputation is also undermined if what he publishes turns out to be fake, so proof is very important.

Answer B it's also incorrect because the <em>intention </em>of the tipster should be <em>irrelevant</em>. Also by stating why they want to talk, they'd be revealing who they are to the criminals (or at least give them an idea) and they wouldn't remain anonymous anymore.

How does the Ancient Puebloans tribe survive AND adapt to different climates?
NikAS [45]
The Ancestral Puebloans were an ancient Native American culture that spanned the present-day Four Corners region of the United States, comprising southeastern Utah, northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southwestern Colorado. The Ancestral Puebloans are believed to have developed, at least in part, from the Oshara Tradition, who developed from the Picosa culture.
