Answer:

Perceptual set.

Explanation:

A perceptual set is elucidated as the predisposition or susceptibility  to perceive things in a specific manner. It leads to shape our interpretation and response towards a particular stimulus as these are shaped by previously possessed information.

In the given example, Mary's response 'Hi, honey' exemplify this '<u>perceptual</u> <u>set</u>' which reflects her predisposition to perceive the call in a specific manner(thinking it to be her husband's call) which was shaped by the prior knowledge that she possessed regarding the call(when her husband told her that he would call her in the morning).

How does McPhee engage his audience in paragraphs 1 and 2
ikadub [295]

He engages the audience in the first paragraph by adding short sentences and engages the audience in the second paragraph by getting the reader to participate in the text.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • In the first paragraph, McPhee presents a series of short sentences, which generate a certain degree of anxiety and curiosity in the reader about the text.
  • In addition, it presents the main subject of the text, right in the first sentence, which is capable of attracting the reader's attention.
  • In the second paragraph, he places the reader as part of the text, making the reader feel that he or she is the writer who has a block that does not allow him or her to write.

With that, we can affirm that McPhee involves the public, creating anxiety in the reader and then involving the reader in the situation that provokes this anxiety.

This question is about the text "Draft No. 4" written by John McPhee.

RI.10.1 - Explicit Details: How do the Jews of Sighet react to the arrival of the Germans in
Gre4nikov [31]

They do not seem worried about the Germans

Explanation:

Jewish community appears to have filled themselves up with <u>false optimism </u>and thereby ignoring the real threats that lie ahead of them. The news of the arrival of Germans spread like a wildfire and it became the talk of the town.  

The Jewish community relieved themselves with their sense of optimism that it would be highly improbable of Germans to come to Sighet. Instead, they were expected to remain in Budapest strategically for political reasons.

This whole act of theirs signifies that Jews were intentionally ignoring the real German threat and displaying ignorance.
