The Pleasure of Books William L. Phelps The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources of mankind; and we enjoy reading b

ooks that belong to us much more than if they are borrowed. A borrowed book is like a guest in the house; it must be treated with punctiliousness, with a certain considerate formality. You must see that it sustains no damage; it must not suffer while under your roof. You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it, you cannot turn down the pages, you cannot use it familiarly. And then, some day, although this is seldom done, you really ought to return it.
In the first paragraph, the author reveals a truth about borrowed books by

A) making a comparison.
B) arguing against an unfair point.
C) including a relevant quote from an expert.
D) demonstrating how a supposed truth is untrue.

Select the correct answer.
Alona [7]

Answer:

B. As in most traditional plays, the plot of act 1 of Beyond the Horizon is designed to provide exposition and build up the tension of the play.

Explanation:

Option B is correct, as there is exposition of the play’s main themes;

a) The urge to follow one’s dreams  

b) The complex father/son relation  

c) Husband/wife relation  

d) Love triangle of Robert Mayo, Andrew Mayo, and Ruth Atkins.

Act 1 also serves as an exposition to the main internal conflicts of the play among following one’s dreams, desires, and destiny and external conflict between father and son.

Option A is not correct because Act 1 of “Beyond the Horizon” is not just a short prologue, but rising action or exposition of the play.

Option C is not correct, as neither in most traditional plays nor in “Beyond the Horizon” is the main conflict brought to a head.

Option D is not correct because in “Beyond the Horizon” Act 1 is just exposition of the internal and external conflicts of the play - we are nowhere near the resolution of the conflicts.
