Answer:

B. To show a contrast

Explanation:

In the given passage, the purpose of the transition <em>despite </em>is to show a contrast.

The first sentence tells us that people who like the idea of a plant that kills its prey and eats mean love venus fly traps. The second sentence tells us that venus fly traps eat only tiny insects. We can see that the content of these sentences is pretty different. Based on the first sentence, we could think that these plants are dangerous, but then, the second one tells us that they are actually harmless (unless you're an insect). The transition <em>despite </em>is used to connect these two sentences and emphasize the contrast.

Which section of a Greek drama was used to conclude the story?
Alex_Xolod [135]
The correct answer is the Exodus.
That word literally means - the exit. So obviously it represents a sort of an ending of something, in this case, a play. The Prologue is in the beginning of a play, and episodes and stasimons are in the middle - episodes are events, and stasimons are poems/songs.

Aleonysh [2.5K]
Although using the POV of a story can be helpful in determining the author's point of view (especially in light of who the main character is in the story), it also helps to consider the background details of the author and the story itself. Things like knowing where the story takes place and what the climate (political and social) where like as at the time, can add to the background and understanding of the author and his viewpoints.
