Read "Washington's Gorgeous Display of Tinted Cherry Blossoms Now in Full Splendor, Annual Reminder of Japan's Gift" by Harvey L. Cobb
In the section "Tourists Flock Here," how does the author develop the idea that people enjoy the cherry trees?
By specifying that the cherry trees do not bear fruit, the author highlights that people who visit the trees do not do so for personal gain.
By inventing a scene of police chasing away cherry-picking boys, this creates a mental picture connecting the cherry trees to fun.
By noting that three railroads have advertised the cherry blossom season, the author highlights that the companies want to make the trees a tourist attraction.
By saying that few Washingtonians know about the cherry trees in their city, the author highlights that the attraction has the potential to become more famous.
Answer:
By noting that three railroads have advertised the cherry blossom season, the author highlights that the companies want to make the trees a tourist attraction
Explanation:
Cobb notes that Baltimore, Ohio, and Pennsylvania Railroads have been advertising the blooming of the trees in Washington to tourists. Despite not many Washingtonians being aware of it, the blossom trees have become a well-known tourist attraction. This means that Washingtonians are aware of the trees. It´s the railroads advertising their blooming season that they may not be aware of.
