Answer:

B. Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) was a great man.

Explanation:

Parentheses is one of the punctuation marks we can use to enclose extra information in a sentence, like a comment, an explanation, a description, an example or a date, such as of birth and death, that briefly interrupt a sentence.

Since parentheses enclose extra information, if they were to be removed from a sentence, the sentence would still express a complete thought, that is to say, the meaning of the sentence would not be altered.

Option B is the sentence whose parentheses abides with all those rules: they enclose the date birth and date death of Benjamin Franklin and if we were to remove the parentheses, the sentence would still make sense.

What is sylvia's reaction when she first hears the stranger's whistle? On the story a white heron
andriy [413]
Sylvia is a child who is different than other children. She tries to find solace in the Maine wilderness. She is walking along in the woods when she hears the whistle for the first time. She does not see where the whistle is coming from, and does not see the hunter, himself. She knows animal and bird sounds and, when she hears his whistle, she is immediately scared or alarmed. She is a child who has been terrorized by other children and who avoids people because she doesn't interact with them well, and has a hard time making friends. When she hears the whistle she knows that it is NOT a bird's whistle she is hearing and therefore it is coming from a person. This is something that is terrifying to her because a person could be an "enemy" or someone who could harm her, which is a great source of anxiety and fear. Sylvia is a person who is afraid of people. Her friends are the animals and creatures in the woods. They are where she finds comfort and security.
According to the book, when she hears the whistle she is "horror-stricken". She is afraid of people, especially boys after she has been tormented by a boy at school. It is natural, then, that a young girl who is afraid of people and afraid of young boys in general, would be scared when she heard the whistle of a boy she doesn't know in a place where she generally feels safe and secure. It would be natural for her to see whoever the boy was as an enemy.
