This question is missing the excerpt. I was able to find it online. It is the following:

Read the excerpt from "We've Got a Job" by Cynthia Levinson.

Audrey and James didn't go to the mass meeting either. They were in jail.

Audrey was taken to a large dayroom. She didn't know anyone, and everyone was older. Dinner was unappetizing. "They fave us grits . . ." she said. "They were horrible - all soupy, no salt." That night, she slept on a bunk bed "on one mattress, with one sheet," and no covers.

Answer:

The first-person quotations in the excerpt help explain Audrey's experience in jail (first option).

Explanation:

Cynthia Levinson is an educator and author of mostly non-fictional books. "We've Got a Job" is a book she wrote about the Children's March that took place in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963. Between 3,000 and 4,000 children participated in the march, protesting against segregation.

<u>Audrey was one of them. As we can see in the passage, the author chose to alternate her own words with Audrey's when telling readers about Audrey's experience in jail. That makes the passage more personal, since we are hearing, so to speak, from Audrey herself what happened while she was there.</u>

Which of these words is an adverb? House,Swimming,Slowly.or Wow?
Artyom0805 [142]
The adverb is slowly, Because adverbs tell what kind, how or to what extent. The adverb slowly (usually, they end in ly) is describing HOW someone did something. EX. Jessie ran slowly across the field. It tells how jessie ran.
And adverbs describe a verb.
