Answer: A. Ronald Givens
Explanation:
Mortals is about Ross Daniels who is a young writer that isn't having too much luck in the field of writing such that his job was to write obituaries in a local newspaper.
He inadvertently writes an obituary for Mr. Givens someday which got him fires because Mr. Givens wasn't actually dead even though he had been compared to as a turtle for his sluggishness.
Ross then tries to get to the bottoms of where he got the information that Mr. Givens was dead.
The United States and Russia maintain diplomatic and trade relations.
Spelling and grammar mistakes.
The sentence that can be removed <u>without affecting the explanation</u> is "<em>In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity</em>."
The reason this sentence can be removed is that it does not offer any necessary information to the explanation. The passage is about how technology leads to bigger cities. This information is conveyed just as efficiently without the need for the first sentence.
Rather than serving to offer information, the first sentence in the passage serves as a sort of <u>introduction</u> to the text. The very next sentence can just as easily serve as an intro to the passage while providing context for the development of early technology that led to the industrial revolution.
For these reasons, the sentence "<em>In the 1800s, the United States was still a very young nation, trying to solidify its identity</em>." can easily be removed from the passage <u>without affecting</u> the explanation.
