Answer :
D. The sentence which best states the controlling idea of this passage is "The wire taps were never a secret, but they helped the United States gain military intelligence.
"
The following excerpts from the passage reaffirm this controlling idea :
1. "On balance, however, some valuable information was gathered from the tapped conversations. The U.S. learned, for example, a great deal about the Soviet and Eastern European order of battle, or its military organization. Others feel that the intelligence was valuable to check against similar information obtained from other sources."
2."The evidence suggests that the CIA gained two invaluable and untainted kinds of knowledge from the taps. The agency learned a basic blueprint of the Soviet and East German security systems, and it never picked up a glimmer of warning that Moscow intended to go to war.”
Answer:
<em>C. How on Earth, Jenny thought, could the concert have already started when she had left an hour early?</em>
Explanation:
This is the answer because, it says that "Jenny thought" and if it was using a 1st person point of view it would simply say "I thought". And it also says that when "she" had left an hour early. If it was a 1st person point of view it would also simply say "I". And it couldn't be option A, because it said "we" when the sentence (if it was trying to be in third person) should've used "they".
It can't have been option B, because it says, "in my experience" and if you were writing it in first person it would have been "in their experience", or "in (name)'s experience".
It also couldn't have been option D. Simply because it says, "As for me" and uses "I" instead of they, she, he, or even their name.
To make it short, option A, B, and D, do not have the correct wording to be a third-person sentence.
So, in conclusion, the only third-person sentence is option C.
And that's my answer.
1) <span>"Maybe she left because she's mad at me... or do you think I'm overthinking things?" asked Robbie.
2) Quotation marks should be used around the speaker's actual words because it is a punctuation of speech.
3) Slowing the action is NOT a reason to use dialogue in a story. When a character talks, it adds personality to a character and tells us more about what is happening.</span>
