Answer: Because he is introducing the readers to the story and doesn't want to give too much information.

Explanation: In Chapter 1 of "The War of the Worlds" by H. G. Wells, the narrator calls the Martian spacecraft the "Thing", <u><em>because he is introducing the readers into the story and building suspense</em></u>. He is in the exposition part of the plot. It happened when Mars was closer to the Earth. There were some flashes of light coming from the Red Planet's surface. Then this "Thing... an unerring missile" came to the Earth and caused a lot of suffering and struggle.

It is indeed better to be a volunteer with a group that works on a national level towards a bigger cause, as this will have a greater impact in terms of the time you invest and the services you provide.

Summerize the story of the landlady'
NARA [144]

Answer:

As the story opens, we meet 17-year-old Billy Weaver, who has traveled alone from London to Bath on an afternoon train. By the time he arrives in Bath, it's quite cold outside and late. Weaver asks the porter, a person who transports luggage, where he might find a nearby hotel. The porter suggests a pub, telling Weaver, 'Try The Bell and Dragon. They might take you in.' The author continues the story by telling us how young Billy is and that he's never traveled to Bath before. He knows no one in town. He's a rather ambitious young man, though, and he looks up to the 'big shots up at Head Office' for their briskness in all their tasks.
