Read the passage. excerpt from "A Relay Race to Remember" Sean positioned himself for the dive and then splashed in; in an insta

nt, he was gliding through the water like a dolphin. He put plenty of distance between himself and the Raiders’ swimmer as they turned into the final lap. As Sean came down the stretch, it looked as though the water held out a hand and pulled him down the swim lane. He reached the wall first and immediately looked for his time on the screen. How does the simile "he was gliding through the water like a dolphin" affect the story? It offers Malik's point of view on Sean's swimming and further develops Malik as a character. It provides a complete, if unsatisfying, ending to the story. It develops the theme of the story by making a comparison between how Malik swam and how Sean swam. It injects surprise into the story by making a comparison that conveys how well Sean performs in the race.

The right answer is alternative four.

In the excerpt from "A Relay Race to Remember," the expression "he was gliding through the water like a dolphin" injects surprise into the story by making a comparison between that conveys how well Sean performs in he race. The phrase describes that Sean swims as well as a dolphin, meaning that he executes brilliantly at the race.

The rest of the options are not correct because the remark does not develop Malik's character or depicts how he swims, and it is not the end of the story.

What is Sam McGee most afraid of? What does he ask his friend Cap to do because of this fear? Cite specific details and figurati
Oliga [24]

Sam expresses to the speaker ("Cap") his dread of being interred in a cold cemetery and demands that Cap commit to having his body cremated once he passes away.

In this poem, Service tells the tale of Tennessee native Sam McGee, who perished in the frigid north pole. This is a tale about one's lust and how it can ruin one's life. The title character became so obsessed with riches that he lost sight of the world around him.

He eventually passed away while looking for gold. The poem's narrator discusses Sam's life story and his dying wish to be cremated. He loathed being buried beneath the bitter polar ice. He requested that the speaker cremate him because of this. As a result, the entire poem is written in iambic octameter. There are a few differences in this poem, though.

Read this excerpt from "Mad Cow, Furious Farmer." The disease was first detected in England in 1986, though some scientists thin
Alla [95]

Prions are a type of defective proteins, that can cause normal proteins to turn into defective, infectious ones: prion, word that comes from the term "proteinaceous infectious particle"; prions can cause neurodegenerative diseases. Unfortunately, even after scientists identified prions as the causal agents of the "mad cow" disease and others like the "kuru" (discovered in New Guinea, amongst a tribe that practiced cannibalism)  and the "scrapie", the authorities tried to hide the epidemic, they took too long to ban the feeding of animals with mixes that included proteins from infected animals, so if authorities had implemented more actions since at least 1993 perhaps the epidemic could have been controlled earlier, instead of almost 25 years after the disease was identified.

In this sense, the author takes us step by step in the process (over time) and illustrates how people got frustrated because of the reaction of the government: nothing was done about the disease until over ten years after its discovery.
