Answer:
to illustrate how much Alfonso cares about outward appearances
Explanation:
Soto most likely described Alfonso's attention to his bike and his teeth at the same time to show that he cared too much about outward appearances.
From the excerpt, Alfonso is described as balancing his bike on the handlebars and seat and cleaning the spokes with a sock and at the same time, he pressed a knuckle to his teeth until it tingled which shows that he cared about the appearance of his bike and teeth. Alfonso shows great attention to detail in both cases because he likely cares about his outward appearance.
The answer should be B. Hope this helps.
Answer:
A. This detail establishes that Gregor had another profession before becoming a salesman.
Explanation:
Option A is the correct answer. It actually establishes the author's purpose for including the detail about the protagonist in the text.
From the text, we discover that the author included the description just as he was describing the setting where Gregor was. The author mentioned the wash up breakfast that was on the table, about the hospital and about Gregor's father who was reading newspaper. Then the author mentions the picture that hung on the wall. It was at this point that the information of the photograph informs the reader that Gregor had another profession before becoming a salesman.
Option A is the correct answer.
