Assuming the text is "Learning How to Code-Switch: Humbling, but Necessary" (2013) and you had to choose between the following claims:
<em>A. Code-switching keeps people from expressing themselves by promoting one correct style of communication.</em>
<em>B. It is important to recognize that code-switching can help a person succeed and celebrate all aspects of their identity.</em>
<em>C. The United States consists of great cultural variety and no one should be discriminated against for speaking a certain way.</em>
<em>D. Many successful people have used code-switching, but it is unfair to expect minorities to have multiple communication styles.</em>
Deggans' thesis is that it is important to recognize that code-switching can help a person succeed and celebrate all aspects of their identity (B).
<u>Code-switching</u> means alternating between languages or communication styles according to the context (cultural, professional, casual, etc.).
Deggans' testimony shows that being able to code-switch is what has helped him to integrate social groups which were different from the poor black neighborhood he came from, while maintaining his identity.
This answer is supported by such such quotes as:
- "expertly navigating another culture wasn’t a rejection of where I’d come from or a signal that I was any less authentically black;"
- "it’s a reminder to be fully who you are at all times, while making sure you’re understood well enough to be valued, respected and considered."
Accuracy, and objectivity. Conciseness: unlike paraphrase, summary condenses information

"Brand B" costs 2 cents more per fluid ounce than "Brand A". <u><em>and</em>:</u>
"Brand A" costs 2 cents less per fluid ounce than "Brand B" .
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________
Start with "Brand A" :
_________________________________________________
$ 1.28 / (8 fl. oz) = 1.28 ÷ 8 = 4/5 = $0.16 / fl. oz. ;
[ $0.16 per fluid ounce ] .
_________________________________________________
Now, "Brand B" :
_________________________________________________
$ 1.68 / (12 fl. oz.) = 7/50 = $0.14 / fl. oz.
[ $0.16 per fluid ounce]
__________________________________________________
So, "Brand B" costs more, per fl. oz., than "Brand A".
__________________________________________________
"Brand B" costs: 16 cents per fl. oz.
"Brand A" costs: 14 cents per fl. oz.
_______________________________________________________
16 cents <span> − 14 cents = 2 cents .
_______________________________________________________
So,
"Brand B" costs 2 cents more per fluid ounce than "Brand A". and:
"Brand A" costs 2 cents less per fluid ounce than "Brand B" .

Answer :
The following details from the narration show that Rainsford is an experienced hunter and outdoor enthusiast :
C. Some wounded thing, by the evidence a large animal, had thrashed about in the underbrush;
Rainsford's experienced eye could make out a wounded animal in the closely knit web of weeds and trees.
D. the jungle weeds were crushed down and the moss was lacerated; one patch of weeds was stained crimson
Rainsford noticed that some weeds were crushed down. This can only happen due to the weight of a wild wounded animal. He also noticed that the moss was torn at certain places and a patch of weeds was stained crimson from the blood of a hunted animal. Being an experienced hunter, Rainsford could pick up all these signs of a hunted prey.
E. A small, glittering object not far away caught Rainsford's eye and he picked it up. It was an empty cartridge.
Rainsford was a highly skilled and experienced hunter so he could not help but notice the empty cartridge lying near the wounded animal. He could easily recognize it from years of hunting experience.
