Read the following excerpt from an intercalary chapter from a novel about a group of modern-day mountain climbers struggling to

achieve a goal despite personal differences:
When Ernest Shackleton led his party toward the South Pole in 1909, they could have made it. They had enough food and fuel. They could have been first. But they wouldn't have made it back. And he knew it, so he let go of that dream and focused instead on getting his men home alive. By including this intercalary chapter, what effect is the author most likely attempting to achieve?
A. The author wants to provide commentary, separate from the narrative, that illustrates an individual experience with mountain climbing.

B. The author wants to carry the theme of perseverance beyond the scope of the narrative by illustrating it to readers in a separate setting.

C. The author wants to break from the narrative flow of the mountain climbers' story to provide relevant background information.

D. The author wants to give readers a better understanding of the history of exploration and the events that led to present circumstances.

Answer:

B. The author wants to carry the theme of perseverance beyond the scope of the narrative by illustrating it to readers in a separate setting.

Explanation:

This is most likely the author's purpose in using this commentary. The story of the modern-day mountain climbers is probably very related to the idea of perseverance, as this is a value that mountain climbers most likely have to have in order to succeed. Therefore, it is likely that the author wants to carry the theme of perseverance beyond the scope of the narrative by illustrating it to readers in a separate setting.

How did you react to the revelation that Vladek and Anja had been trapped? Were you
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The revelation that Vladeck and Anja were under arrest is shocking to the reader, as the story creates hope that they will manage to escape without being arrested.

Although you have not shown the text to which this question refers, we can see from the context of the question that you are referring to "Maus" by Art Spiegelman , a biographical graphic novel, which recounts the journey of Vladeck and Anja, two Polish Jews who survived the holocaust.

Reading the graph novel reveals the following information:

  • Jews gradually lost rights and freedoms.
  • Anja and Vladeck, suffered all these losses, reaching the point where they needed to stay hidden to avoid being arrested and taken to concentration camps.
  • The hiding places were too dangerous.
  • Anja and Vadeck received an offer to travel to Hungary with a middleman, as Hungary had not been invaded by Nazi forces.
  • The middleman was working alongside the Nazis and tricked Vladeck and Anja.
  • At the beginning of the trip to Hungary, the middleman informed the Nazis that Vladeck and Anja were on the train.
  • At that point, they were arrested and taken to concentration camps.

During the reading, the reader is apprehensive about the persecution that Anja and Vladeck suffer and creates an empathy for them, reaching the point that the reader wants them to manage to flee to Hugria. In this case, when they are arrested the reader is surprised, as they are surprised and saddened, as they had proof that the middleman was a trustworthy person and that the trip was safe.
