The answer is- "She was one of the few members of the Y reducing class who arrived in hat and gloves and who had a son who had been to college."
Answer:
C, at the beginning
Explanation:
Though it's not impossible, you will almost NEVER see exposition anywhere except the beginning of the story. The definition of exposition is "setting up the world of the story", so the answer is the only option that sets up the story. Every other answer happens after the world has already been set up, so they cannot be the exposition
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.

Answer:
B. Greed can result in negative consequences.
Explanation:
The main question theme that is very heavily touched upon in Midas is Greed. Essentially the whole question in this story would be; is greed good or bad? Is it both or neither?
The way it is talked about in the story does put a pretty clear conflict in place, but at that same time has a confusing resolution. Whether that was Ovid's (in his version of the story) intention isn't all that much clear either. Throughout the story a picture is painted in which Midas seems like a decent guy. He takes Silenus in, and helps help get back on his feet, which Bacchus rewards him for. So Midas, in return for helping Silenus wishes for anything he touches to turn into gold. In differing versions of the story Midas has very different reasons as to why he wishes for what he did, but in my opinion, it doesn't really matter considering all he has to do is pray to Bacchus and bathe in a river. All in all the whole theme does get pretty confusing, because even though Midas' greed causes him a good deal of trouble, he also pretty easily gets out the said situation. Take what you will from the story, but I would heavily recommend reading Homer's <u>The Odyssey, </u>and <u>The Iliad,</u> as they are again, in my opinion, literary masterpieces.
