Answer:

The option which best explains how the phrase "white granular powder" supports the author's purpose of calling attention to the environment is:

A. the powder is an unnatural substance.

Explanation:

Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964) was a marine biologist and author born in Pennsylvania. In her book "Silent Spring", Carson discusses the harm human beings have been causing to the environment.

The white granular powder mentioned in the passage is pesticide. It is an unnatural substance which is harmful not only for insects but also for the environment in general, including humans. <u>By describing it as a white granular powder, Carson's purpose is to show it is an unnatural substance. Even though it fell "like snow", it is not snow. It is not like anything that truly exists in nature. White granular powder does not fall from the sky at all, unless made by humans, which is the case here.</u>

Masteriza [31]

i have this same quiz if you can help me that would be great

What is the effect of the structure on the poem "She Walks in Beauty" by Lord Byron?

Question 5 options:

By establishing a rather basic rhyme scheme in the poem, Byron is able to suggest the speaker's lack of complexity.

By organizing the poem into three short and even stanzas, Byron is able to convey the work's themes directly and succinctly.

By giving the poem an even and steady meter, Byron makes the speaker's great excitement even more obvious.

By breaking the poem into three stanzas, Byron allows readers to follow along as the speaker describes three different women.

BTW your answer is C : They show the speaker's feelings and behavior at the start of her marriage, when she was young and less mature.
