I couldn't understand the first thing but I got the second one :)
Answer:
Explanation:
He starts with his own account of the climb. However, he only does it with a few sentences, and then, as soon as he mentions the breathing problems, he proceeds with explaining how Hillary's account was not completely accurate. At the very beginning, the reader gets to understand that this text's purpose is not to describe the climb, but to supplement (or correct) another person's account.
Answer:
b. tension
a. introducing an obstacle Alma must overcome
Explanation:
The first question is easier. We can strike out the answers c and d, because they don't make sense at all. It could be humor, as some people are smiling, but b. tension is the better answer because of the follow-up question; it has negative words in the answers, such as "obstacle, spoil, lost, preventing". So tension is the best answer.
Excellent. The second question has 4 answers that are all factually correct. However, the question asks for how Whitcomb's organ playing and loud singing affect the story. This insinuates we should look for something "deeper", that affects the storyline in a broader manner. Answer choices b through d are all inconsequential, and are only related to the current performance (by the way, b and d are actually factually wrong; Alma's performance still goes on, sorry). Thus, only answer a, which mentions an obstacle (also known as a conflict) is important to the storyline as a whole.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
<em>Coward</em>
Explanation:
<em>The Hundred Dresses</em> is a children`s book in which two best friends - Peggy and Maddie are going to school with a girl called Wanda Petronski. Wanda is a little bit different than others as she always wears the same dress to school and her name is a little bit unusual since it origins from Poland. Although she wears the same dress every day, she tells children at school that she has a hundred of them at home. Peggy keeps asking her about the dresses since she can not understand why would Wanda lie about such a thing. All classmates teased her and Maddie, who was also poor, did not have the courage to say to Peggy to stop asking about the dresses as she could be the next target for mockery. In the meantime, there was a school contest for the best drawing and Wanda won it with her one hundred drawings of beautiful dresses. Her family moved from the city, so she was not there when this happened. Her father sent a letter which was read by the teacher. At that moment, Maddie felt like a coward for not confronting Peggy and other classmates but stayed silent. This caused her to decide that she will not be silent about harassment ever again.
