Select all the correct answers. Which two excerpts appear toward the end of the plot structure of Jack London's "Up the Slide"?

But the descent was precipitate and dangerous in the uncertain moonlight, and he elected to go down the mountain by its gentler northern flank. In a couple of hours he reached the Yukon at the Siwash village, and took the river-trail back to where he had left the dogs. There he found Swanson, with a fire going, waiting for him to come down. Halting his dogs beneath, on the river ice, he looked up, and after some searching, rediscovered it. Being dead, its weatherbeaten gray so blended with the gray wall of rock that a thousand men could pass by and never notice it. Taking root in a cranny, it had grown up, exhausted its bit of soil, and perished. Beneath it the wall fell sheer for a hundred feet to the river. It stood to reason, Swanson said, that good, dry firewood could not be found so close to Dawson; that whatever firewood there was originally had long since been gathered in; that firewood would not be selling at forty dollars a cord if any man could go out and get a sled-load and be back in the time Clay expected to make it. Clay ran his experienced eye over the timber, and estimated that it would chop up into fifty cords at least. Beyond, the gully closed in and became barren rock again. On every hand was barren rock, so the wonder was small that the trees had escaped the eyes of men. They were only to be discovered as he had discovered them— by climbing after them. He sat down and looked at the treacherous snow-covered slope. It was manifestly impossible for him to make it with a whole body, and he did not wish to arrive at the bottom shattered like the pine tree.

How does descriptive language improve your
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The description during the horse race improves the scene by making me feel as though I am in the action and experiencing events at the same time Paul is. I can see Paul taking note of what is around him as he and the grey pass one horse at a time. The description of the horse sizzling like lightning makes Paul's win seem really exciting.

Advantages and disadvantages of legalising baby bins
xxMikexx [17]
There are some ADVANTAGE of legalizing baby bins or baby hatches which are typically used to leave the newborn babies by their parent who do not want them for certain reasons and abandon them there.
This can save many lives of the newborns as the other way people might choose is killing the babies or abandoning them at places where no one might ever find them.
The baby left there will have a positive opportunity to flourish in the society unlike the one left at street as the hatches are monitored by law.

There can be some DISADVANTAGES as well to the scheme as it might help promote immoral behaviors in society. A key factor in stopping immoral activities is the fear of society, and baby bins remove that fear. Another risk can be of an increasing tendency of rapes where people might think its OK to give birth to children and then leave them to baby bins.
