Answer:
Increased production of consumer goods led to an increased need for advertising.
To me, the most likely answer would be A.
-The setting is where the story takes place.
-The protagonist is the main character(s).
-Conflict is the "problem" of the story.
-Mood is the tone of the story. Can see by looking at specific words choices, such as verbs.
-Climax is the point of the story where the conflict, main idea, has hit it's peak. The "action point".
-Falling action is what happens after the climax, the wrap up and solutions of the problem.
-Resolution is the solution of the story. Goes with falling action.
-The theme is the main idea, the topic, of the story.
Answer:
What readers can infer about the themes or plot of the novel based on the line is:
3. Someone is going to make some bold, perhaps dangerous decisions.
Explanation:
The line we are supposed to analyze is:
<em>If strong ideas offend you, read no more.</em>
If you find a line like that in a novel, you can rest assured it is a warning. The author is letting you know he/she will probably shock you. However, that line does not reveal anything just yet. There is no way to know if this is going to be about money or fate. Therefore, we can eliminate options 1 and 2. Option 4 is also incorrect. It is not that strong ideas are offensive, according to the line. There are people who may find them to be so and, in that case, the author is warning them not to read any further. Thus, we are left with option 3. The novel that follows such a line will most likely have some bold, perhaps dangerous decisions.
