Answer:
B. Depressing
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the narrator is giving information about the previous and new place in which the characters are placed, and the general idea is that they were used to see property abandoned and dead animals (certainly not a very nice image). But, in this new place everything gets worse, and it turns out to be disturbing for the characters.
This is true. Narrative stories are usually fictional, but some authors write narrative stories that are kind of similar to memoirs in the sense that they document a true experience from the author's life.
Is like what Sean Roberts said: That the government is made up of three branches, which are made to see each other to make sure no branch is dominating the other two. They are all the time trying to find a balance among the three branches (Judicial, Executive, and Legislative). The founders created this in order to have an effective government in decision making.
Also, Gridlock is when something isn't moving. You can also call it a stalemate. The government is meant to have gridlock. For example, it can take a WHILE, a few years, for a decision to be made on a certain issue, and when it has to do with something controversial it takes longer (like abortion, which still, to this day, is a heated topic in politics), which makes people complain about how "slow" the American government is when making decisions.
Hope this helps.
