Explanation:
Answer:
<em>(C) offering a specific example to support a general claim
</em>
Explanation:
If there is only one claim: "Things which today seem unremarkable could have altered the course of history once...."
<em>Even the answer choice's clarification mentions "the claim": </em>
The second paragraph provides detailed details–perhaps even the position nutmeg played in New York history–to support the argument that apparently inconspicuous things can change the course of events.
So, shouldn't alternative "author say" consider instead of "author claims"?!
Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was born on June 24 in 1842. He was an American short story writer, journalist, poet, and Civil War veteran.
One of Bierce's book, The Devil's Dictionary was named as one of "The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature" by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration. His story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" has been called as "one of the most famous and frequently reproduced stories in American literature"
"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" written in 1890 and originally published by The San Francisco Examiner on July 13, 1890, and was first poised in Bierce's book Tales of Soldiers and Civilians in 1891. The story is set during the American Civil War, and it is known for its irregular time sequence and twisted ending.
The sentence from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" that refers to the reality of Farquhar’s situation in the dream sequence he envisions is:
"His neck ached horribly; his brain was on fire, his heart, which had been fluttering faintly, gave a great leap, trying to force itself out at his mouth."
The answer is bandwagon! i hope this helps :)
