Answer:
Comical
Explanation:
The tone of this excerpt can best be described as comical. In this passage, we learn about the way Benjamin Franklin behaved when he was in Philadelphia. As he comes from Boston, he is not aware of many of the social rules that regulate this other colony. This is obvious when he goes to buy bread. As he arrives to the bakery, he asks for a type of bread but realizes that they do not sell it. This happens again with a different type of bread. Not knowing what else to ask for, he asks for three-penny worth of bread, which turns out to be an enormous quantity. This means that he has to walk down the street while carrying three great puffy rolls, which leads to a comical and ridiculous experience.
1) the sly fox is like a sneaky boy.
2)the boy is as smart as a sharp tac.
3)I am as free as a bird on vacation.
do you get it now?
Contrast is finding the difference and comparing is finding the similarities
The most appropriate thesis sentence would be: "As we got older our lives went in different directions, but we still keep up on social media" (D).
In a good thesis sentence, your reader should:
- identify a key question or idea,
- be able to understand how you are going to develop this idea in the paper,
- and be given a hint of what your conclusion will be.
This sentence (D) is raising a key question: how did the friendship evolve as you got older? It is also providing a direction regarding the way you are going to approach the development (chronologically). Finally, it mentions the conclusion, or the answer to the question, in a few words: "we still keep up on social media."
