In the forest, there was a tall tree. This tree is the home of the wild geese. One day, one of the geese, who is very wise saw a vine growing down the roots of the tree. He told his fellow goose about it. He had suggested that they should remove the vine while it's still young. He believed that when the vine grows bigger it might possibly make it easier for hunters to catch them. However, the other geese didn't listen to him and decided to ignore the problem. Every day, the vine grew bigger and a hunter saw it. The hunter devised a plan that would catch the wild geese living in the tree. So, he put a net on its branches when the geese were out hunting for food. When the geese return, they were not able to notice that they were caught in the trap. When they realized it, they felt remorse and sorry for not listening to the wild goose. So, the wild goose had an idea on how they can escape from the hunter. He told the geese that when the hunter arrived, all of them should pretend that they were dead. In that way, the hunter will throw them instead of eating or selling them and when the last geese would fall from the ground, they will all fly away. The next day, the hunter came and saw that the geese were dead. So, he threw them on the ground. Because of the idea of the wise goose, they were all able to escape from the hunter.
The most valuable resource that we as living beings have is "Time". Everyone has a very finite amount of time to live our lives. This makes every second incredibly valuable. Being able to travel larger and larger distances faster than ever before gives us the gift of time (in a way) by allowing us to spend less time travelling and/or waiting to get to our destinations. This makes travelling at faster speeds invaluable and the process of achieving this a great use of our time.
The author called the town quiet to build an element of surprise.
Explanation:
Knowing what we know now, I would have left the town when given the warning. The reader is shocked when they find out an unassuming quiet little town could be so horrid. I think the reason why Bev, Ezze and Benji stayed behind was so they would be in-character and it was sensible considering the situation they were in.
A. It's the progressive tense that indicates continuing action. It's something that's still going on, and the reason why it's called as progressive. This is formed with the "to be" verb in the present tense, and is combined with an -ing word.
Second I assume is D) Fast and slow because it's an "exciting" text, but the dashes cause for a pause, almost like a comma or if to say "take a breath".
