The correct answer is B.
In "Araby," the boy learns that his love for Mangan's sister is in vain, that Araby is not an exotic event (despite its exotic-sounding name), and that he will not be able to buy a gift for Mangan's sister.
What he does not learn, however, is that Mangan's sister has feelings for him, too. The only thing he learns is that she is disappointed she cannot attend Araby because she has a prior commitment.
Slowly, to look for clues to the message. That’s what I went with.
The line in the above excerpt from Amy Tan's "Mother Tongue" that shows that Tan changes her language depending on the audience is:
“The talk was about my writing, my life, and my book, The Joy Luck Club, and it was going along well enough, until I remembered one major difference that made the whole talk sound wrong. My mother was in the room.”
Amy Tan's essay “Mother Tongue” is about the difficulties that a child has to face if it grows in a family in which its parents speak 'limited English.' Amy's mother was among such parent who was unable to speak fluent and proper English. It is through the language that the person is judged by others. Amy was brought up by her mother and because of this, her writing style was much influenced by the language spoken at her home. Her mother taught her that a person's perception of the world is influenced by the language spoken at home.
Read the excerpt from The Code Book. The difference between ordinary and digital mail can be illustrated by imagining that Alice wants to send out invitations to her birthday party, and that Eve, who has not been invited, wants to know the time and place of the party. If Alice uses the traditional method of posting letters, then it is very difficult for Eve to intercept one of the invitations. . . . In comparison, Eve's task is made considerably easier if Alice sends her invitations by e-mail.
How does the author support the claim that ordinary and digital mail are very different?
by citing statistics about both kinds of mail
by offering quotes from experts on the subject
by relating a personal experience of both kinds of mail
by sharing a hypothetical story as an example of the subject
Answer:
by sharing a hypothetical story as an example of the subject
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from The Code Book, the author talks about digital and ordinary mail and the advantages of each. He explains this by making a hypothetical scenario where Alice is sending out invitations via electronic mail and Eve who has not been invited wants to know the time and date, which would have been difficult if the invitation were sent through hand.
Therefore, the author supports the claim that ordinary and digital mail are very different by sharing a hypothetical story as an example of the subject.
