Answer:

B. The author wants to give readers a better understanding of the background and circumstances of transportation between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Explanation:

The introduction of a piece of text complementary to the main subject provides the reader with an insight about another topic (or in this case, a backgground), which offers valuable information related to the main idea without parting from it.

Regarding the example, the author most likely included this paragraph so it would serve as a counter-claim to a following chapter (referring to the placing of water dishes under the legs of beds).

How is Mildred spending her afternoon and evening?
KengaRu [80]

Answer: Mildred spends the majority of her day watching her parlor walls.

Explanation:

Mildred lives a wretched existence in her everyday life by acting obsessed with soap operas that are televised on her wall-sized TV screens. Mildred's unimportant life is entirely absorbed by senseless entertainment, plus she is intrigued by the interactive television shows that enable her to engage in the plot by giving her easy lines to read. She has three walls of her living room engulfed in these screens and provokes Montag to purchase a fourth. The soap operas are interactive. Viewers get scripts and roles to act out along with the actors on the screen. Television has become her foremost means of entertainment. She is fully involved in their false lives and regards them as her family.
