Read paragraph 5 from Chapter 1 of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou and answer the question. The town reacted to

us [Angelou and her brother Bailey] as its inhabitants had reacted to all things new before our coming. It regarded us a while without curiosity but with caution, and after we were seen to be harmless (and children) it closed in around us, as a real mother embraces a stranger’s child. Warmly, but not too familiarly. What words in the above excerpt demonstrate a humorous or lighthearted tone?

This excerpt could be considered humorous because of the way in which the events are retell and because of the choice of words. their arrival is portrayed in such a way that the reader might think, it could have a deeper meaning. For example
"<span>It regarded us a while without curiosity but with caution, and after we were seen to be harmless" This might be understood as a fun way of expressing that people were all over them, to check who they were, they pay close attention to these "new people" until they were convinced they are fine. </span>

What contribution did Isaac asimov make to the world of modern science
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: I do not know if this is a multiple choice question or not, but I would contend that through his numerous science works he broadly influenced modern science and sparked the interest, and even the fascination, of the public in the subject.

Explanation: American writer and university professor Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) wrote and edited hundreds of science-fiction and popular science books (and also books on many other topics) for the broad public, which made science and technology more accessible and understandable, and changed the way people thought about those disciplines. His view of robots was particularly influential: he humanized them and contributed to their depiction and their profusion in public culture.
