In his poor Richard's almanac, Ben Franklin says that He who lives upon hope will die fasting. What that means is that one shouldn't just live life hoping for great things, he should actually do something about creating them.

<em>Poor Richard's Almanac</em> was an almanac published by Benjamin Franklin from 1732 to 1758. It was extremely popular and widely read.

In this almanac, Benjamin Franklin includes an aphorism that states that the person who lives upon hope dies fasting. This means that one should not rely on hope alone, always wishing something was different. Instead, one should be content with the present.

The correct answer to which statement correctly analyzes how passages A and B work together to create a central idea is B. Alvarez contrasts her mother's insistence on silence with her own desire to tell stories.

When the author says that <em>the moment she learned how to talk caused a rupture in a silence established by her mother, and also a downturn in what her mother would consider good behavior,</em> she conveys that <em>they were opposites in that aspect.</em> Although she carried her mother's name, the moment she learned how to talk <em>she became her mother's contrast - someone who wanted to talk and express her ideas and opinions.</em> This contrast reflected in arguments and discussions she tells the reader about. Then, in passage B, <em>Alvarez tells the reader that when she became a writer she kept on using her mother's name, therefore emphasizing their differences.</em> So, the correct answer to which sentence would best explain how passages A and B work together to create a central idea is B. Alvarez contrasts her mother's insistence on silence with her own desire to tell stories.

The correct option couldn't be <em>A. Alvarez describes how her good behavior was an issue, or a thorn, for her mother</em> because <em>what was considered good behavior by her mother</em>, according to her, <em>wasn't the issue or the thorn mentioned.</em> On the contrary,<em> Alvarez would have stopped behaving well the moment where she began talking,</em> and that was an issue or thorn in her relationship with her mother. So, the correct answer couldn't be A. Alvarez describes how her good behavior was an issue or a thorn.

The correct answer couldn't be <em>C. Alvarez explains how her mother’s desires and temperament were similar to her own</em> because, on the contrary, <em>her desires were opposite to her mother's</em>, according to what she tells the reader. <em>She had the will to speak and pronounce</em> herself, while <em>her mother appreciated silence</em> as good behavior. Moreover, they fought a lot for that same reason. Thus, the correct answer couldn't be C. Alvarez explains how her mother’s desires and temperament were similar to her own.

The correct answer couldn't be <em>D. Alvarez traces how her childhood behavior led her to become a successful writer</em> because <em>there is no mention</em> in any of the passages about <em>how her behavior would have directly led her to become a successful writer</em>, although it is clear that her wish of sharing and telling stories starts in her childhood. So, the correct answer couldn't be D. Alvarez traces how her childhood behavior led her to become a successful writer.

Hello. You have not shown the excerpt to which the question refers, which prevents me from being able to provide an accurate answer, as well as preventing me from providing evidence of the text. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

tyler wishes to make the reader identify with what is being narrated in the story. For this, she needs the reader to have a strong perception of everything that is happening in the text. This perception must be intense, with the meanings highly developed, stimulating the reader's senses. For this reason, it makes a strong use of imagery, simile and repetition as literary resources that can reinforce the immersion of the reader of the story, making the reader feel that he is experiencing everything that is narrated.
