The correct answer is the last one. Kilpatrick's article shares how White House staff feels about Nixon's resignation.
In the article, numerous aides and officials are quoted. Each gives his thoughts and/or opinions on Nixon's resignation. Many are sorry to see him go. Therefore the second option -- that the staff is unaffected -- is not correct.
The article does not say much about who will become president after Nixon. Furthermore, the staff itself is not changing; only Nixon is leaving. Therefore, the final answer is the correct one.
Answer:
<em>(C) offering a specific example to support a general claim
</em>
Explanation:
If there is only one claim: "Things which today seem unremarkable could have altered the course of history once...."
<em>Even the answer choice's clarification mentions "the claim": </em>
The second paragraph provides detailed details–perhaps even the position nutmeg played in New York history–to support the argument that apparently inconspicuous things can change the course of events.
So, shouldn't alternative "author say" consider instead of "author claims"?!
<h2>
Answer: D</h2>
Explanations:
A. Is angry that the coffee is too weak. I don't believe this is the answer, because, "blinked red eyes at the weak brew of coffee" Isn't the main idea or key detail, and isn't important at all.
B. Doesn't appreciate the effort of the narrator to make breakfast. Not really the answer, because if the mom didn't really appreciate the breakfast, it would've shown more evidence for that. Besides, some people wake up cranky ;w;
C. Is frustrated that she had been woken up by the narrator. No. Nowhere in the second paragraph it says that the mom was woken up by the narrator.
D. Feels very tired even after a good night's sleep. Yes. I believe this is the answer because in paragraph 1, the narrator made sure the TV was low so the mom could sleep. In paragraph 2, It's obvious that the mom feels very tired because of these clues: Yawned a hat-sized yawn, and blinked red eyes.
