Answer:

The correct answer is a. Like Harburg, many expected that they could maintain their possessions through the Depression.

Explanation:

E. Y. -Yip- Harburg was an American songwriter, known by working with many popular artists as well as movies; he is the author of Over the Rainbow, from The Wizard of Oz.

The correct answer is letter A since the excerpt could be divided in two different ideas: the first one describes the American dream, compared with the Rock of Gibraltar due to the idea of its strength; there are some other elements that reinforce this idea, such as the marble outside of houses and the though of permanence. The second idea is the last sentence, where everything vanishes into nothing by exploding. This way, it is understood that many people expected to keep their possessions, but it did not happen.

Answer:

B). The narrator falls and breaks a rib and collarbone.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is demonstrated as the literary device in which the author provides an advance clue or hint about the forthcoming event in the story. It primarily functions to

In the given sentence, the author foreshadows 'the narrator's falling and breaking off his rib and collarbone.' The narrator falls and injures himself. This hint develops suspense among the readers and enhances their curiosity as they are uncertain whether their anticipations about the sudden turn of events will come true or not. Thus, it helps in keeping the interest of the readers intact as the readers expected a tragic end but the writer twists the conclusion by describing how the author handled himself and his injury. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
