one on the last foray after our men. His face looked burnt, tanned by the sun. I started to work carefully on the shaving soap. I scraped some slices from the cake, dropped them into the mug, then added a little lukewarm water, and stirred with the brush. The lather soon began to rise. "The fellows in the troop must have just about asmuch beard as I.” I went on stirring up lather. Which is true about the pacing in this excerpt?

Answer:

The long, detailed sentences slow the pace and provide background information.

Explanation:

Hernando Tellez's "Lather And Nothing Else" is a short story about a revolutionary barber and his encounter with a customer who is their enemy, the General whose job is to remove anyone who revolts against his power. General Tortes has also just killed fourteen revolutionaries in the past few days.

And when he came to the shop to get a shave, the narrator/protagonist describes in a rather slow paced tone of the scene. He reveals how he had <em>"four-days’ growth of beard"</em> with a <em>"burnt, tanned"</em> face. He then went on to describe how he began working on the beard, and also conversed with the General about the work. He knows he can easily slit his neck while doing his work and kill the General instantly, but best decides not to be an executioner, even though he may be a revolutionary.

This long and detailed sentence of the scene slows the pace of the story while at the same time providing background information to the readers.

In "The Most Dangerous Game," Sanger Rainsford says "I am a hunter, not a murderer" when he finds out that Zaroff hunts humans.
Luden [163]
Rainsford does not hold human life on the same level as animal life. For Rainsford hunting is a sport or a means to gain food, not a mere even to simply kill for the love of killing. 

Zaroff's ideas counter this in that Zaroff has progressed to the point where killing humans, the most intelligent beings, has become a sport to him. 

The bottom line is that the two men have different world views which influence their actions.

Which of the following is written correctly?
Shkiper50 [21]

The correct answer is A. This is the case of using comma before a coordinating conjunction <em>and</em> because it links two independent clauses. We can observe that there two parts of this full sentence and each part is independent from each other. Both of them have their own subject and verb. Therefore, we are using a comma before <em>and</em>.
