ty was underwater. . . . He could only think of Judgment Day, of Noah and forty days of rain. And yet it was so quiet, so still. Nothing moved. He sat on the roof and scanned the horizon, looking for any person, any animal or machine moving. Nothing. As he did his morning prayers, a helicopter broke the silence, shooting across the treetops and heading downtown. Why does the author include the details of Zeitoun’s morning?
to suggest the hopelessness of Zeitoun’s situation
to illustrate the solitary existence endured by survivors

The answer is: to suggest the hopelessness of Zeitoun’s situation.

In the excerpt from "Zeitoun," the author Dave Eggers makes reference to Zeitoun's feeling of devastation as the sees New Orleans underwater after hurricane Katrina. For instance, the narrator describes how the whole city is  submerged and that nothing other than water can be seen around Zeitoun's tent. The protagonist also looks for people, animals or machines moving, but he sees nothing until the helicopter flies around.

The given assertion proffers a false claim as it incorrectly defines the communication displayed by Margaret through arranging a 'multiparty text chatting session with her quality managers and supervisors' as 'asynchronous communication'. <u>This situation rather exemplifies a 'synchronous communication' as they all have been invited to a single platform to discuss the things face-to-face in real-time without the use of any external signal</u>. All the participants are substantially involved in the process of communication. Therefore, the given statement is asserting a <u>false</u> definition.
