Jason wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up. Like he could ever be an astronaut! The child was seven, and he could barely tie his shoelaces. All of Jason’s brothers were very advanced intellectually and physically. But Jason kept falling short. Perhaps that’s the reason why he had such lofty ambitions.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sentence in the excerpt that shows a mocking tone is:

Like he could ever be an astronaut!

Explanation:

To mock means to make fun of something or someone in a derisive, cruel manner. Notice how the sentence "Like he could ever be an astronaut!" mocks the sentence that came before it. It is, in a cruel, sarcastic way, refuting the possibility of Jason becoming an astronaut like he used to dream of. We can easily hear the tone in which the sentence would be spoken in our minds - a laughing, ironic tone.

Answers

First person is the answer

The point of view in "To the Fringed Gentian" is first person. The correct option is A.

What is point of view?

The writer's point of view determines who tells the story to whom. It is critical to establish a clear point of view because it determines how your reader interprets characters, events, and other important details. There are three types of points of view: first, second, and third person.

Points of view can be described in the first, second, or third person. The I/we perspective is expressed in the first person. The second person is your point of view. The third person is the he/she/it/they viewpoint.

The author's literary point of view is the perspective from which he or she tells a story. It's one of the most important choices an author makes when crafting a story. "To the Fringed Gentian" is written in the first person.

Thus, the correct option is A.

Read the excerpt from "Harriet Tubman: A Life of Toil and Triumph." By this time, the word of Harriet Tubman’s bravery was beginning to spread. Many well-known people learned of her mission and got on board as well. Writers Ralph Waldo Emerson and Louisa May Alcott helped her, as did Susan B. Anthony. Some even allowed her to use their homes as stations. Meanwhile, Harriet’s fame also made her a target, and a large reward was offered for her capture and return to Maryland. The beginning of the Civil War in 1861 marked the end of Harriet’s Railroad work, but she did not retire. Instead, she joined the fight that would soon set all of her people free. At the request of Union leaders, she set out for South Carolina. There she nursed slaves who had been left behind when their owners fled Northern forces.

During an interview, your subject mentions the benefits of animal-based research in medicine. You are firmly against such research and cannot understand how the subject can support it! In the interview, you should: Select one:

a. Simply thank the interviewee for her time and leave. DO NOT remain in an interview that you disagree with.
b. Take advantage of the opportunity to thoroughly explain your views. Perhaps you can convince the interviewee that she's wrong.
c. Stay calm and ask your subject how she would respond to protesters who say that animal-based research is unnecessary. Give her a chance to explain her views, and respectfully listen to them.
d. Any of the above. Since there are not any guidelines to dealing with the opposite point of view in an interview, you'll have to do what you think is best!

Answers

Answer:

C). Stay calm and ask your subject how she would respond to protesters who say that animal-based research is unnecessary. Give her a chance to explain her views, and respectfully listen to them.

Explanation:

In the given situation, the most ethical action would be to 'stay calm and ask your subject about your views and examine how the interviewee responds to the counterarguments which assert that animal-based research is rebundant and worthless and offer an opportunity to the speaker to elucidate her point of view and regardfully listen to them.' This would not only show ethics but also help you understand the reasoning behind her views and how she supports it that may assist in widening your existing thoughts and perceptions. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

ASecond Person
B Third Person Limited
C First Person
D Third Person Omniscient

Answers

Answer:

B. Third Person Limited

Explanation:

The "third-person point of view" in narration can be classified into two: omniscient and limited.

The third-person omniscient means that the person knows everything that is happening to the characters and the situations in the story. There is no bias nor preference happening here.

On the contrary, the third-person limited means that the person's perception of the characters and situation is limited. In this case, he may know what is going on in one person's mind/thinking.
