Small Business
Explanation:
There's a lot of debate on why we should and shouldn't raise the minimum wage. Off the top of my head, I would say the reason not to raise the minimum wage is that it could affect small business owners. Basically, smaller businesses will be forced to pay their employees more money. Obviously that will hurt the owner financially and could ultimately lead the business to bankruptcy.
The number 7 is always with Willow and is a symbol of joy, because Willow finds joy when she counts by 7s.
This question is missing the answer choices. I have found them online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?
A. word choice
B. quickening the pace of the story
C. intentionally omitting setting details
D. making the outcome of events uncertain
Answer:
The technique the author uses to build suspense is:
C. intentionally omitting setting details
Explanation:
The setting of a story is the place where and the time when the story happens. When an author wishes to make the setting clear, he will give out details and descriptions to help readers visualize it.
<u>However, that is not what happens in the excerpt we are analyzing here. The author intentionally leaves out details to build suspense. He does not offer a description of the museum and, most importantly, of the objects inside the museum. What are the "hulking objects" he mentions? Mummies? Old statues? What do they look like? We do not know. All we know is that they cast long shadows and stretch across the floor. By describing them so poorly, the author creates suspense, leaving readers wondering about these objects and their role in the story.</u>
