Answer:
B. Cause and effect
Explanation:
The given paragraph is structured as a <em>cause and effect</em> paragraph. This type of paragraph explains why something happens. The occurrence that takes place is defined as the effect and the thing that causes it is the cause.
Here, we have two groups of students who perceived the same lecture in two completely different ways. This is the effect. What caused this is the way the lecturer was introduced. The students' expectations (cause) affected their opinion on the lecture, the final result (effect).
To be able to analyze the elements used by William Carlos William´s in his poem: "The Red Wheelbarrow", we must first understand these two literary and poetic movements that affected the way that literature was written from the end of the 19th century to the 20th century.
First, modernism is a literary movement that originates at the end of the 19th century and influences most of the 20th century, especially writers from Europe and North America. In essence, modernism was born from the philosophical principles and ideals set forth by such thinkers as Sigmund Freud and Ernst Mach and it believes that literature needed to break off from the traditions and ideals that had been present in the past. Particularly, they were very much influenced by the aftereffects of World War I and believed in going into a simpler form of writing, more concise and direct and less filled with prose and abstract ideas. On the other hand lies Imagism, an Anglo-American 20th century movement that affected poetry mostly and helped to jumpstart modernism in literature. In essence, Imagism believed in the need to break off from certain poetic traditions that had been set during the Romantic and Victorian eras, they proposed a much simpler use of verse forms, instituting the free verse style, and believed in the need for the use of more direct and simpler images and an economy of language. Finally, they believed in the observation and importance of underlining the characteristics and essence of a single object through the simplification of the elements that make part of said object. One example, in another form of art, would be Cubism. One of the most important representatives of this movement, precisely, was William Carlos Williams.
In the poem, The Red Wheelbarrow, you can see these elements proposed by both the modernists and imagists. It is a really short poem, each stanza with only two lines, with a single object being identified and mentioned; the wheelbarrow. All focus is on this particular element and all defining objects around it only serve to underline the characteristics that make it up. There is also the use of very simple language, very simple imagery and a freestyle that makes its reading lead you to think of only one thing: the wheelbarrow.
Though a siphonophore looks much like a jellyfish, it is actually an organism that is made up of many other organisms that are attached to it. An example of a siphonophore is The Portuguese man-of-war.
Good luck!

Okay, I'm gonna use my strategy, you're welcome to re word it. Answer
Stories of tragic hero's have held our interest of the centuries for many reasons. Some of these reasons are, some of our hero's go MIA [missing in action] and we have no clue what happend, they saved others lives in return of their own, or the hero's weren't even trying to help. An example of this is [the last one] on August 6th, 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. This bomb caused devastating radiation that still remains in Hiroshima, and it can still cause cancers and or birth defects. There is a story [A very true story] that says, "The morning the bomb was dropped, someone was standing right outside a bank on the steps. Nobody knows age, gender, nothing about this person. But the were immediately cremated becuae of the bomb, which protected the stone steps. This staircase is held in a museum in Japan to remind us of the past and our heros."
