Answer:
B). The first excerpt uses facts and statistics, and the second excerpt is told as a story.
Explanation:
The first excerpt from 'Children of the Drug Wars' <u>employs factual and statistical information that helps the author to serve her purpose of educating the readers about the impact of violence(led by wars) on children</u>. It also informs them regarding the increase in percentage of asylum claims as the violence left the children mentally distorted and it is this reason made around 58% to flee. While the second excerpt from 'Enrique's Journey' uses a narrative style to portray the hardships faced by Enrique to reconcile with his mother('jams his body, jumps off, etc.) through which the audience can connect themselves emotionally and elicit intended response. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
In "A Pair of Silk Stockings," the silk stockings are a symbol of C.) MRS. SOMMER'S SELFISH NEEDS.
Instead of buying the things needed by her children from the little money she got, Mrs. Sommer's opted to buy the silk stockings she found while searching for items needed by her kids.
She was drawn to buy it because it gave her the illusion of being a rich lady with no worries in the world. The silk stockings gave her the chance to live her fantasy.
This is called multitasking.
Pls rate my answer if this helped.
A verb is used to describe an action.
Example: Joan is running to the park to play frisbee.
The key words are: is running.
So, in your question, since Uncle Joe is growing a beard, that'll mean your verb tense is present progressive. It's present progressive because he's growing something, and things that grow have a process to follow through.
I hope I helped :)
