It is important to take responsibility for your actions
What story is it that this 'passage' came from?
Answer:
They tell us, sir, that we are weak:unable to cope with so formidable an adversary.But when shall we be stronger?
Explanation:
They used metaphor.
Excerpts 1 and 2 are expository texts.
Expository texts contain a main idea with supporting details and evidence. They should have a conclusion as well. Excerpt 1 informs the audience about Mount St. Helen. Excerpt 2 explains how anxiety manifests and ways to reduce it. Excerpts 4 and 5 are stories. They do not make a claim and then back it up with supporting evidence. Instead, they describe characters, a setting, and events. Excerpt 3 is written in second person point of view and explains about visiting another country.
The answer is D, the use of parallel storylines creates an air of mystery and suspense.
Hope this helps
