There are many conflicts in this story, but this represents the central conflict of Zaroff hunting Rainsford. In this quote Zaroff is describing the "game" which becomes the man versus man conflict. </span>
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
What change should be made in sentence 3? (Mikayla placed the dough on her right hand and then spins it into the air, trying to mimic the chef.)
A. Insert a comma after "fist".
B. Change "then" to "than".
C. Change "spins" to "spun".
D. Change "it" to "them".
Answer:
The change that should be made in sentence 3 is:
C. Change "spins" to "spun".
Explanation:
The sentence "Mikayla placed the dough on her right hand and then spins it into the air, trying to mimic the chef" is incorrect for only one reason - the shift in verb tenses. The sentence begins with a verb in the simple past and, all of a sudden, changes to the simple present. It is clear that this is a sequence of actions that took place in the past, one after the other, so the shift is inappropriate in this case. To correct it, we must change the verb in the present form (spins) to the past form (spun):
Mikayla placed the dough on her right hand and then spun it into the air, trying to mimic the chef.
The correct answer is B. The Port Harbor Bridge is a source of debate for the town of Port Harbor.
Explanation
Debate is a term that refers to a communication resource that focuses on the collation of different ideas or opinions on a certain topic. The objective of a debate is to present and argue an opinion on an issue to conclude. According to the above, the News Radio Program transcript presents the implicit message of a debate among the residents of Port Harbor, while some want to preserve the Port Harbor Bridge, others do not want to preserve it and each one presents their arguments as expressed in the next paragraph "Residents in the town of Port Harbor are divided over whether they should preserve the Port Harbor Bridge...Opponents argue that preserving the bridge will be too expensive." So, the correct answer is B. The Port Harbor Bridge is a source of debate for the town of Port Harbor.
