<span>The statement, "Mary Louise Burrows is directly characterized as poised" correctly describes a portion of the characterization in this excerpt. Specifically, this is implied by the words, "...her unconscious but distinctive poise of bearing," which phrase is then contrasted with, "...And she was fifteen -- an age when many girls are both awkward and shy."</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is <u>C</u>: the fact that this is the first day Ryan has ever been turkey hunting.
Explanation:
At the beginning of the excerpt, the author mentions that this is the first day Ryan has ever been turkey hunting. After describing the setting (when he got up, where they went, what they did, etc.), the author mentions again the fact that Ryan has never been turkey hunting and says this is his first time. Therefore, it should be removed from the second part of the excerpt.
Answer:
“It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe.”
Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the story "To Build a Fire" by Jack London.
Part A asked what the student to choose a statement that best described the central theme of the story. The answer to this was: <em>"In the struggle of man against nature, nature always wins."</em>
Therefore, the quote that best supports the answer to Part A is: <em>"“It did not lead him to meditate upon his frailty as a creature of temperature, and upon man's frailty in general, able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold; and from there on it did not lead him to the conjectural field of immortality and man's place in the universe.”</em>
In this story, we see that London explored the conflict man vs. nature. He argues that, in this fight, nature will always win as men are completely unprepared to survive in inhospitable environments. This is supported by this quote. In the quote, the author expresses his ideas on the condition of men. He argues that men are weak and frail, and can only survive under certain comfortable conditions. This demonstrates that men are extremely vulnerable when struggling against nature.
