1 "I hear it's someone's birthday today," remarked Ms. Perkins, the secretary, as Benjamin exited his mother's office. This was

a disadvantage of having your mom as your school principal—the faculty knew everything about you.
2 "I'm eighteen today," Benjamin replied with an embarrassed grin.

3 "Well, you don't look any different than you did yesterday," Ms. Perkins joked as she signed his hall pass.

4 Later, Benjamin caught his reflection in the cafeteria window and thought about what Ms. Perkins had said. Today, he was officially an adult, but he didn't look any different. He still had the same dark, disheveled hair and the same inquisitive eyes that were so large they sometimes seemed disproportionate with the rest of his face. He was the same height, and he still had the same prominent chin.

5 He also didn't feel particularly different. Benjamin could vividly recall the exhilaration he'd experienced on the morning of his tenth birthday. He'd bounded out of bed and basked in the knowledge that he was now one of the big kids. Benjamin felt as if he could do anything in that moment, but he didn't feel that immeasurable sense of joy today—and he couldn't help but wonder why.
What is the purpose of the dialogue in this passage?

A To reveal what Benjamin is thinking

B To show the reader the depth of the relationship between the character

C To reveal the premise of the passage- Benjamin's birthday

D To explain the internal conflict of the main character

Why is it important to examine an author`s or publisher`s institutional affiliations or previous works?
Readme [11.4K]

<span>It is important to examine an author’s and/or publisher’s institutional affiliations and/or previous works because this is important when vetting your sources for bias and therefore credibility.  What is meant by this?  Well, let’s say you were doing research on a gun control issue.  Let’s further say you have discovered a really good, well-written article in support of gun control in favor of gun rights/the right to bear arms.  However, upon doing a little investigating, you discover that the author of the article is in fact a member of the National Rifle Association.  As such, the article is most likely biased and therefore not a reliable source of information. So, again, it is important to always examine an author’s or publisher’s institutional affiliations as well as previous works. </span>
