This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the excerpt from “Raymond's Run.”

But once I spread my fingers in the dirt and crouch over the Get on Your Mark, the dream goes and I am solid again and am telling myself, Squeaky you must win, you must win, you are the fastest thing in the world, you can even beat your father up Amsterdam if you really try. And then I feel my weight coming back just behind my knees then down to my feet then into the earth and the pistol shot explodes in my blood and I am off and weightless again, flying past the other runners, my arms pumping up and down and the whole world is quiet except for the crunch as I zoom over the gravel in the track.

Which theme is shown most clearly in this excerpt?

A. Dreaming can be a distraction from achieving goals.

B. Reality can often times seem like a dream.

C. Winning is proof that a person has worked hard.

D. Success is possible if one truly believes in oneself.

Answer:

The theme that is shown most clearly in this excerpt is:

D. Success is possible if one truly believes in oneself.

Explanation:

Squeaky is the main character in the short story "Raymond's Run" by Toni Cade Bambara. In this specific excerpt, when she is about to start running, Squeaky begins talking to herself. She has been preparing for this competition for a long time now. As a matter of fact, she is a very competitive girl who always gives her all at everything she does.<u> Notice how she reminds herself that she should be confident, that she is "the fastest thing in the world." This excerpt is about showing that success is possible if one truly believes in oneself. Had Squeaky not been so confident, she mightn't have found the strength to perform her best.</u>

Hemingway is known for his journalistic writing style. Which of these excerpts is an example of that style?
Vinvika [58]

The correct answer is option A ("What I will do if he decides to go down, I don't know. What I'll do if he sounds and dies I don't know. But I'll do something. There are plenty of things I can do").

We refer to journalistic style in writing as the use of certain devices, structures and resources that are most commonnly associated with news articles, chronicles and similar kinds of pieces. <u>They can be easily identified for the use of short sentences and paragraphs that have a very straight-forward feel to them. The message often feels urgent and we get the sense that the author is trying to quickly make their point.</u>

Example "A" presents many of these features while none of the others are brief or to-the-point at all.

Hope this helps!

How do batteries work
Oxana [17]
Not sure how it's an English question, but Batteries have three parts, an anode (-), a cathode (+), and the electrolyte. The cathode and anode (the positive and negative sides at either end of a traditional battery) are hooked up to an electrical circuit. The chemical reactions in the battery causes a build up of electrons at the anode.
