PART A: In paragraph 31, Vashti declares: “I dislike seeing the horrible brown earth, the sea, and the stars when it is dark. I

get no ideas in an air-ship.” Which of the following best summarizes how this line establishes humanity’s view of the earth? A This remark shows that the humans living in the Machine have no respect for the earth because they no longer need it.

Answer:

B. This remark tells us that much of humanity has lost its appreciation for earth and nature, to the point of resenting its mere appearance.  

Explanation:

The question above is related to the short story entitled, "The Machine Stops." It focuses on two characters namely, <em>Vashti</em> and<em> Kuno (her son).</em> In the story, <u>people were living underground</u> and no longer on the surface of the earth. They were able to meet their needs through a global <em>Machine. </em>People were placed in<em> isolated rooms</em> where they communicated with other people through <em>instant messages and video conferences. </em>There were actually some people called the "homeless outcasts" who tried to live on the surface of the Earth.

Unlike her son<em>, Kuno</em>, who was interested to visit and know more about the surface of the Earth, <em>Vashti</em> was<em> "not interested in natural inspiration." </em>So, this explains her remark above. It shows<u> how much of humanity has lost their appreciation for earth and nature.</u> This is the extent to which the underground Machine did to people in the "poisoned darkness."

So, this explains the answer.

What are the effects of using the third-person limited point of view for the narrative? Select True or False for each statement.
Scorpion4ik [409]

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to understand what the third-person limited point of view means.

The third-person point of view is when the narrator only relates his or her thoughts, feelings, and knowledge of various situations and other characters, and it is typically the main character. All characters are described using pronouns, such as 'they', 'he', and 'she'.

<u>Now let's answer the given options. Keep in mind that Jerome is the main character of the story:</u>

<u>Readers understand Jerome's development through the perspective of the other characters in the story</u> - False.

The third POV only gives us the development through the perspective of Jerome, not of other characters.

<u>Readers understand Jerome's thoughts and feelings as he works through a conflict </u>- True.

As Jerome is the main character and it is written in the third POV, then yes we can know his thoughts and feelings, and how he works through a conflict.

<u>The story is focused on the central lesson that Jerome learns, rather than the understandings of other characters</u> - True.

Yes, as he is the main character, we learn a lesson or understand the theme through his perspective.

<u>The focus of the story is on how all of the characters react to the conflict, rather than how Jerome learns from his experience</u> - False.

No, we focus on Jerome, and what he learns from his experience.

I hope it helped you :)
