Answer:
It provides a clear indication about Dr. Pascal's career.
Explanation:
Émile Zola's novel "Doctor Pascal" is from the Rougon-Macquart series, with it being the final novel of the series. The story revolves around themes of heredity and follows the protagonist Dr. Pascal and his life of practicing his profession.
In the given passage from the initial stage of the story, we are given the description of the room, Doctor Pascal's study. This room has cupboards and tables full of books, papers, etc. from his case studies and experiments from <em>"more than thirty years"</em> which include <em>"[his] great works on heredity."</em>
Thus, the use of this phrase gives the impression of how long or how vast the collection of papers was and thus, provides the immense 'proofs' of his career, Doctor Pascal's career. Through all these <em>"papers and manuscripts of all sorts, piled up in confusion and filling every shelf to overflowing"</em>, we are given an insight into what the doctor's career likely is.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
Answer:
Uncle Carlos believes that the policeman did not kill Khalil for racism, but because he was a drug dealer. Mav, on the other hand, believes that Khalil was a victim of racism, since he was not armed, carrying drugs or weapons at the time he was murdered.
Explanation:
Khalil. a black boy, was killed in a police approach while picking up a hairbrush in his car. The policeman hit Khalil with several shots, and Khalil posed no threat.
Uncle Carlos, a black policeman, does not believe that the policeman was acting out of racism, since Khalil disobeyed him and was a boy who, in fact, was involved in the drug tafico. However, Mav knows that Khalil was not on drugs or weapons at the time and that he suffered abuse of police authority, as well as racism.
The correct option is C. Rearrange paragraphs in chronologial order.
A suggestion for a ratiocination is to look at the paragraphs and determine the main idea in each one of them. This is done with the purpose of justifying their separation, as to control whenever a new paragraph is started. The chronologial rearranging of these however, is not a step.
As for the rest of the options:
A, D. These are steps to find bland words in the text, requiring to replace them with non-conventional, formal synonyms.
B. Normally, one of the steps would be to circle the first word of each sentence, but circling two might be an option in sentences where pronouns with contracted auxiliary verbs are used - such as <em>I've, He's, It's.</em>
