B is the correct answer since it is a friend
<span>The statement which best characterize these two passages is :One author is trying to persuade the reader to share a certain viewpoint, while the other is only concerned with giving information. The first passage is about the history of formation of the Yellowstone National Park, including the information why it is significant, which means that author appeals to readers' emotions, describing the park with great interest and passion. The second passage has no mood, just contains some facts and statistics.

In "The Devil and Tom Walker," Washington Irving criticizes the selfish and heartless sections of American society, especially usurers, by satirizing them through Tom Walker’s character. He also criticizes the hypocrisy of American religious groups through his satirical description of Tom’s churchgoing and through his mention of the Salem witch trials and the persecution of Quakers and Anabaptists. He also seems to suggest that American society was founded on violence and inequality:
"Since the red men have been exterminated by you white savages, I amuse myself by presiding at the persecutions of Quakers and Anabaptists; I am the great patron and prompter of slave dealers, and the grandmaster of the Salem witches."
From Plato
