Option B is the correct answer.
Answer:
The statement which summarizes the central idea of this passage is:
A. The yellow fever epidemic had lasting consequences for the city.
Explanation:
The passage begins by saying the number of people who died of the fever were in the thousands - 4 or 5. That number may very well have been bigger but it was difficult to keep count at that time. Then it moves on to say that <u>one thing was clear to all, independently on how accurate that number was: that things would never be the same. The epidemic would have lasting consequences, then. The losses, the fear, all of it was "too real and personal". It would forever change people's lives.</u>
Answer:
O The author's attitude toward the subject.
Explanation:
In a literary text, the <u>tone is a term used to refer to the attitude of the writer</u>. This means that the attitude, the sounds, or feeling that the writer has toward a topic or subject.
There are several tones employed in literature, some of which are serious, comical, sad, happy, etc.
The figurative language where a non-human object is given human qualities is personification.
The comparison of two unlike people, places, or objects is a simile.
The place and time of a story is the setting.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
The answer is either B or D
