B. The connotation of the word "bright" adds to the cheerful and relieved feeling in the passage.

In these lines the troop is coming home after being away at battle. The battle is over and they have survived so there are no tense or anxious feelings as option D would suggest. Also, the description of them giving thanks to God does not suggest religious awe, but rather a sense of relief that God watched over them and they arrived home successfully. While the word "climbed" does show the toll the journey has taken on the troops, this feeling does not pervade the entire passage. Overall the words "bright", "smooth", and 'easily" all show the cheerful and relieved feeling in the passage.

Answer:

- Socio-emotional selectivity theory.

Explanation:

'Socio-emotional selectivity theory' is illustrated under the life-span theory and described as the human ability to track time and motivate themselves as per the time-horizons.

Which statement best describes how Wells conveys his purpose with this excerpt?
Anton [14]

Read the excerpt from H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds.

The peculiar V-shaped mouth with its pointed upper lip, the absence of brow ridges, the absence of a chin beneath the wedgelike lower lip, the incessant quivering of this mouth, the Gorgon groups of tentacles, the tumultuous breathing of the lungs in a strange atmosphere, the evident heaviness and painfulness of movement due to the greater gravitational energy of the earth—above all, the extraordinary intensity of the immense eyes—were at once vital, intense, inhuman, crippled and monstrous. There was something fungoid in the oily brown skin, something in the clumsy deliberation of the tedious movements unspeakably nasty.

Which statement best describes how Wells conveys his purpose with this excerpt?

A) He provides quotes from experts.
B) He shares data about the creature.
C) He appeals to the reader's beliefs.
D) He uses detailed physical description.

Answer: D) He uses detailed physical description.
