Answer:

Hello, you didn't say what the task is, but I assume we have to choose the option that best describes the composition and the format of the excerpt from Douglas A Segar's <em>Introduction to the Ocean Sciences</em>. If so, I would choose D.

Explanation:

I chose D because the excerpt begins with the argument and continues with the conclusion, that is that "<em>terrestrial organisms are relatively easy to study</em>". Then, the study of terrestrial organisms are compared with the study of ocean life, that is not so easy due to its nature of being present "<em>throughout the depth of the ocean waters, and for several meters, or more, into the sediment.</em>" and it is not as easy to reach as the first one.

d) The narrator's point of view affects the amount of information the reader receive.

Whenever the narrator is a character in the story, he may interact with other characters or may witsness certain events. These interactions are received by the reader through the narrator's eyes, so it affects the view of the reader. Moreover, the reader cannot know anything the narrator does not know, because it is his link to the story, and that limits the information the reader may receive.

Which best describes the two main characters in Jack London’s “In a Far Country”?
saw5 [17]
I would say that they were Klondike novices and  unfortunately did not pull their weight in camp or on the trail, always shirking their responsibities .and taking advantage of other hard working members of the crew.  Thus they were not an asset to the party of men seeking their fortune and braving the hardships of the trip to the Klondike.
