No one was looking forward to tommy's fifth birthday. on that day, he would be removed from the family to enter communal living.

there, he and the other five-year-olds would be evaluated and set on a "track." we were all hoping that his intelligence and creativity would be noticed. maybe he could become a scientist or programmer - anything but a coal processor. either way, we would never find out.
which detail from the passage best suggests that the story's setting is a dystopia?

A. Intelligence and creativity would be noticed.

B. He could become a scientist or programmer.

C. Removed from the family.

D. Five-year-olds will be evaluated

I would say the bet answer would be option D "Five-year-olds will be evaluated." This would set the stories setting as a dystopia because no five year old would be evaluated at such a young age and given a job. Tommy was also worried that his creativity, and intelligence would go unnoticed and he would be placed as a coal processor and hoped he would become a scientist or a programmer. Also, remember that a dystopia is a made up world of injustice and suffering.

Hope this helps.

Why does the author use third-person point of view in this excerpt?
Anton [14]

Answer:

The author wants to present factual information effectively is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The question refers to the following excerpt:

<em>"The purpose of fasting on Wednesdays is specifically to encourage the eating of fish, to support the fishing industry. People therefore respond differently. Some households uphold the old religious fasts during Advent and Lent, as if they are still observing the religious law; others ignore Advent but observe the Lenten fast. Still others ignore Wednesdays and just fast on Fridays and Saturdays." </em> The Time Traveller's Guide to Elizabethan England, a book by Ian Mortimer where the author explores a different perspective of Elizabethan England.

When an author uses the third-person point of view is because he wants to sound more objective because this way he puts some distance between the speaker and the speech. Since the author wants to show a different way of seeing the Elizabethan era (1558-1603), this narrator helps him present factual information effectively.
