Answer:

C. is the dystopian quality of this passage: Power is based on the ability to obtain a necessity of life.

Explanation:

Dystopian fiction is social commentary in the form of a story that exaggerates one aspect of today's society.

People who have the most access to essentials will always have power over those who do not. This is the exaggerated aspect. It shows a piece of our everyday lives under a microscope, so we can say "hey, this doesn't seem right."

Which statement from the text best shows the author's main claim? A: this would make a difference in our world by reducing green
mrs_skeptik [129]

Hello. You did not show the answer options, nor did you show the text to which the question refers, which prevents me from answering your question exactly. However, I will try to help you by explaining what a main claim is in a text.

Within a text the main claim is the main idea to which the text presents. It is the subject that the text decides to address.

Usually you find the main claim of a text right at the beginning of the text, because the author needs to arrest readers right from the start showing what the text will discuss about and arresting readers who show interest in the type of discussion presented.

Why did boo radley put a blanket on scout?
allochka39001 [22]
For the first beginning of the story, Scout and Jem assume Boo Radley is a evil person. However by him doing this, it shows that things are not always as they may seem because giving her the blanket shows that he isn't as evil as the believe, which ties into the main theme of the book.

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's <u>final </u>Act of "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet," <u>Balthasar </u>delivers news to Romeo that Juliet is dead. Balthasar did not know about the Friar's <u>plan</u>. Before going to <u>Verona </u>to see Juliet, Romeo desperately seeks out an <u>apothecary </u>and convinces him to sell him <u>poison</u>. Meanwhile, Friar Lawrence talks to Friar <u>John</u>. Friar John was supposed to send news to Romeo in <u>Mantua </u>about Juliet, but he was unable to enter the city because of a <u>disease</u>. The Friar goes to the Capulet <u>monument </u>to meet Juliet before she wakes up. Before the Friar reaches the monument, <u>Paris </u>and his <u>page </u>are already there. Paris places flowers by Juliet, but then his page whistles because someone else is coming. It is <u>Romeo </u>and Balthasar. Romeo gives Balthasar a <u>letter </u>to give to his <u>father </u>the next <u>morning</u>. Balthasar does not listen and hides instead. Romeo encounters Paris and they fight. Romeo <u>kills </u>Paris. Before Paris dies, he asks to be placed next to <u><em>Juliet</em></u>. Romeo then seeks out Juliet's body, before he <u>drinks </u>the poison and dies. Outside of the monument, the <u>Friar </u>greets Balthasar. Once inside the monument, the Friar sees Romeo and Paris' dead bodies. He walks over to Juliet who is now <u>awake</u>. Juliet asks for Romeo, but the Friar tells her that Romeo and Paris are dead. The Friar tells Juliet that the <u>watch </u>is coming and that he can take her to a <u>sisterhood </u>of holy nuns. The Friar leaves thinking that Juliet will not leave. She sees that romeo drank poison, and she <u>kisses </u>him to try to poison herself. She then hears the watch, and takes Romeo's <u>dagger </u>and stabs herself. The <u>Prince </u>arrives at the scene shortly before the <u>Capulets </u>and Montagues. Their parents are devastated when they hear the news. <u>Montague </u>reveals that his wife also died because she was upset about Romeo's <u>death</u>. Friar Lawrence explained what happened, and it is confirmed by Balthasar. The two families end their long-standing feud, and the Prince says that Verona paid a high price.
