Answer:

A) Fog slowly rising from the surface of the pond.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau wrote his transcendentalist book "Walden" as a reflection of his simple living among nature. He notes in his book how one can only know his true self when he's among nature, away from the automatic and forceful nature of living in the big cities.

From the above provided passage in the question, Thoreau is describing how the fog is slowly rising from the surface of the pond early in the morning. Thoreau is staying in a cabin in the woods, where he survives and lives among nature, away from the monotonous life of cities. He notes that the beauty of nature is fully appreciated when one makes it a necessity to be at one with nature. In the chapter titled "<em>Where I Lived And What I Lived For</em>", he recounts how he was able to notice even the littlest of things, like for instance, this rising of the fog. His use of imagery in describing the scene also makes it more attractive and appealing, instead of just simple putting it in normal simple direct words.

The Foster Portfolio (Kurt Vonnegut, 1951)
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The Narrator didn't believe Herbert at first because Herbert appeared to be very poor, and he thought he was not going to make any money off him.

Explanation:

The Foster Portfolio is about an investment broker who was called by Herbert Foster to look at his portfolio and manage it.

He went to Herbert's house for that purpose but was initially disappointed with the general lack of affluence of the household and its occupants.

According to the narrator "my business is handling other people’s money, and I have a great respect for money" and that he is "a salesman of good advice for rich people", so he couldn't see how he could help a man who appeared to be neither rich nor to have any money to speak of.

That was why he didn't beleive Herbert was in ned of his services.
