Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": The word "his" makes the story smoother to read in English.

Explanation:

Jewish writer Franz Kafka (1883-1924) born in Austria-Hungary used to write in German. In his worldwide well-known "<em>Metamorphosis</em>" (1915) exposes the story of Gregor Samsa, a salesman who overnight becomes a giant insect. In German, Gregor refers to his parents as of "the mother" and "the father" because those are terms normally used in that culture. However, for translation purposes, it was changed  to "his mother" and "his father" so English readers would smoothly continue with the flow of the lecture.

3. How does the setting in paragraphs 26-27 help develop the<br> plot?<br> The last dog
balandron [24]

The setting in paragraphs 26 and 27 helps to the development of the plot because it provides the story with an interesting twist and it arises a conflict.

The last dog is a short story by Katherine Paterson, in this story, humans live in a sealed dome and are not allowed to go outside as it is considered to be dangerous.  In this context, one curious man decides to leave the dome and explore the outside world.

In paragraphs 26 and 27 of this story, the narrator describes how the main character Brocks finds some hills with trees and later a brook. This finding is extremely interesting because the character had been through trees and freshwater did not exist anymore, and therefore he is quite surprised to find these elements.

This discovery helps develop the plot of the story because it is an unexpected twist and it arises a conflict because the character starts questioning previous ideas such as:

  • Considering the outside as dangerous.
  • Believing life is not possible outside the dome.

What sorts of things/ideas are valued in Henry's world? How are his values different from those of his society
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Henry's world values things like money and communication between people. This is different from what Henry values, because he likes silence, literature and the company itself, giving no importance to interpersonal relationships.

Explanation:

This question is about "Time Enough at Last" where we know the story of Henry, a man who works in a bank and does not find time or silence to read. That's because Henry loves literature, but all the time people hinder him, even in his own home, where his wife tries at all times to talk to him more.

One day a bomb is dropped on Henry's town and kills everyone but him. When he sees that the world has the silence and tranquility that he values so much, he is happy, because he will have all the books in the world to read, without anyone interrupting him. Meanwhile, Henry falls and breaks his glasses, which he cannot see without. There is no one who can prescribe other glasses for Henry, making him unable to read and living in eternal solitude.
