At five-thirty that morning, my uncle stood next to one of his cornfields, closed his eyes, and listened. I did the same, hoping

to discover what he was listening for. All I heard was a light breeze and the rattling made by the dancing skeletons—the dried-up, stunted cornstalks—in front of me.

Answer:

The option which the opening paragraph does the least to accomplish is:

B. immediately pull the reader into the action

Explanation:

Let's work this one out through elimination:

A. The opening paragraph DOES establish a relationship between the narrator and a character. We are immediately told they are uncle and nephew.

B. This seems to be the right choice for us. There is not a lot of action going on. We do not know what the uncle is listening for, what to expect, what is going on. This dragging creates some suspense as we wait for the action to start.

C. The opening paragraph DOES provide a sense of setting. As soon as we are told about the "cornfield" and the "breeze", we can imagine the characters are on a farm, out in the open.

Question 2: The three sentences that present evidence to support the idea that “Ranking is everything.” are:

* “Each wrestler maintains a ranking that affects every slice of his life.”

* “The seventieth-ranked wrestler in Japan, meanwhile, earns only $15,000 a year.”

* “Low-ranked wrestlers must tend to their superiors.”

It is described in the paragraph that in Japan the ranking as a sumo fighter is extremely important since the rank that each wrestler achieves will determine either if they are meant to be served or to serve since Japan has a culture that goes around honor this is considered an important factor that leads competitors to cheat it goes beyond money.

Write about a good experience you've had recently and how that experience was special to you, include a message in it. Half a page to a page should do. After you're done looking over it, make that message in your story that you want to convey the theme and the reasons behind it. I can't write this for you since I don't know who you are, but you know who you are.
