Screech! Karen stomped on the gas pedal the moment the light turned green. She looked over her left shoulder and zigged past a s

emi-truck. She zoomed ahead and looked over her right shoulder and then zagged past a motorbike. She glanced at the clock on the console and darted into the parking lot. Whipping into a parking spot, she grabbed her suitcase and ran through the lot, up the escalator, and into the terminal. Her heavy suitcase was bumping and bouncing the whole way. Just as she entered the terminal, she heard an announcement over the loudspeaker, "Final boarding call for flight 205 to JFK..." Karen looked at her ticket and then at the line to get through the security checkpoint, which wrapped around several turnstiles and slithered like a lethargic snake. Karen sighed and then slowly walked to the customer service desk.Why does she start walking slowly at the end of the passage?a. Her friend flew to another airport.b. She missed her plane.c. She decided not to travel anywhere.d. She would rather stay home.

Answer:

b. She missed her plane.

Explanation:

At the start of the passage, we read that Karen was in a hurry. She drove really fast <em>"zoomed ahead and [.....] zagged past a motorbike"</em>. This is also supported by the use of the words "<em>darted</em>", "<em>whipping</em>", "<em>ran through the lot, up the escalator and into the terminal</em>". These words all show that she was in a hurry to be on time for her flight.

When she heard the final call for <em>"flight 205 to JFK"</em> and looked at the line for the security checkpoint, she knew she had no more time to get into the plane. So, she walked slowly to the customer service desk.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.

What are examples of author's craft in The Illustrated Man?
mezya [45]

Bradbury has a straightforward writing style that seeks to evoke a sense of wonder through two seemingly opposed concerns: the careful construction of mundane details and a sharp eye for vividly capturing imaginative flights of fancy. Combined, they create Bradbury's signature style, finding wonder in everyday life by using fantastic / unrealistic elements to highlight the vagaries of human nature. Often, this means the stories are built on simply constructed sentences --declarative, often distanced from the subject it describes - with dramatically timed lapses into a more florid, poetic writing style when a character comes to grips with a new experience, such as the rocket flight of "The Rocket".
