This question is missing the excerpt. I will not add it here because it is quite long, but the complete question can be easily found online. The excerpt belong to "The Travels of Marco Polo".

Answer:

The option that indicates that the author's purpose is to inform readers about travel south of Madagascar and Zanzibar is:

A. The author shares facts and specific details about the difficulty of sailing in the region.

Explanation:

Marco Polo was a Venetian adventurer who lived from 1254 to 1324. "The Travels of Marco Polo" is a book based on his trips and discoveries and written by Rusticiano de Pisa, who met Polo and had the chance to hear the adventurer himself tell the stories.

<u>In the excerpt that can be found online, the author is informing readers about travel south of Madagascar and Zanzibar. The passage is written as it it were Polo himself describing the difficult travel conditions in the region. He provides readers with facts about the currents that prevent ships from going a certain direction. According to him, the currents are always southward. A ship may take 20 days to go a certain way, but three months to return precisely because of the currents.</u>

adoni [48]

Answer:

The children went out in the sunshine, playing and 'savoring' the warmth of the sunshine.

Explanation:

Ray Bradbury's <em>All Summer In A Day</em> tells the story of how  group of children in Venus were in anticipation for the sun. But along with this eagerly awaited event, they also exercised a bullying act of locking Margot in the closet, thus keeping her away from the sun and the experience of enjoying it.

When the sun did finally come out, <em>"they were running and turning their  faces up to the sky and feeling the sun on  their cheeks like a warm iron; they were  taking off their jackets and letting the sun  burn their arms".</em> They played and enjoyed under the sunshine, <em>"until the tears ran down  their faces; they put their hands up to that  yellowness and that amazing blueness and  they breathed of the fresh, fresh air,..... looking at  everything and savored everything"</em> .The narrator even commented that they were <em>"like animals escaped from their  caves"</em>, playing until raindrops began falling again, driving away the sunshine.
