Answer:
I believe the choice Welles makes that causes the radio broadcast to feel like it is happening live is:
D. He changes the verbs to present tense.
Explanation:
In 1938, future filmmaker Orson Welles broadcast a special Halloween episode on radio featuring an adaptation of the novel War of the Worlds, by H. G. Wells. The novel narrates a fictional invasion on Earth by Martians.
<u>Welles made it seem as if the bits of the novel he was reading were actually news bulletins, interrupting the normal broadcast of music now and then with new details concerning an invasion. To make it sound more realistic, as if the events are happening live, he narrates them using the present tense. The excerpt below belongs to a transcription of the broadcast. Pay attention to the verbs:</u>
<em> Ladies and gentlemen, we</em><em> interrupt</em><em> our program of dance music to bring you a special bulletin from the Intercontinental Radio News. At twenty minutes before eight, central time, Professor Farrell of the Mount Jennings Observatory, Chicago, Illinois, </em><em>reports
</em><em> observing several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet Mars. The spectroscope</em><em> indicates</em><em> the gas to be hydrogen and moving towards the earth with enormous velocity. Professor Pierson of the Observatory at Princeton confirms Farrell's observation, and </em><em>describes</em><em> the phenomenon as "like a jet of blue flame shot from a gun".</em>
<u>By using the present tense, the narrator conveys a sense of immediacy, as if the events are taking place in real time.</u>
For the first question, the answer would be D. (It supports the idea that living in a foreign country is the smartest way to learn a new language)
D: Language researchers found that students who lived in a foreign country learned the new language sixty-five percent faster than students learning at home.
The counterclaim is something that counteracts the statement. Therefore, for the second questions, the answer should be B.
B: However, learning to play an instrument has been proven to improve grades and test performance.
About two-thirds of all Japanese Americans interned at Manzanar were American citizens by birth. President Franklin Roosevelt's executive order took freedom away from these American citizens without a fair due process. This was because of people's false belief that everyone of Japanese descent had something to do with this, and a somewhat false fear that the Japanese army was plotting something else and would attack America again.
Manzanar’s internees suffered from the harsh desert environment. Temperatures were as high as 110ºF in the summer and frequently dropped below freezing in the winter. This, combined with "The temporary, tar paper-covered barracks, the guard towers" showed how badly the Japanese Americans were treated in the internment camps.
This was also a form of racism because they were judged because of how they looked and a false belief that they would do something wrong.
They were also judged for something their "mother country" did, and they may not have agreed with what had happened.
Usually, your third step is to hunt for clues like supporting details, vocabulary, dialogue. You will have to search through the specific passage and draw information based on the passage to make an inference.
To initiate something is to start something, so my guess would be Answer C.
I'm not completely sure that C is the correct answer, but it is the first event that happens in the story. It is also the event that causes the rest of the events.
This question was asked a while ago, so it might already have answers, but just in case. :)
Have a great day/night, stay hydrated, get the proper amount of sleep for you, and eat healthy foods.
