Why would readers of science fiction want to compare a story's futuristic setting to life in the present time? It helps them decide whether or not they like the story. They'll understand more about character traits if they compare settings. They'll get through the story more quickly that way. It helps them think about what life might be like in the future.

Answer:

It helps them think about what life might be like in the future.

Explanation:

While going through a story's plot and scenes, the readers are taken into a world that is not realistic. More so is the case when it is a science fiction story where things and people may seem surreal at times. The main component of sci-fi stories is that it is based on speculation, imagination, and not out of something real.  

So, when a reader compares a story's futuristic setting with a life of the present time, it allows him/ her to try to comprehend how life might be like in the future. It presents an image of what life must be like in the coming future years.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.

Answer: It helps them think about what life might be like in the future.

Explanation:

It is!

Read the excerpt from "Homesick Blues."


Do you want to know what turned out to be the last straw for me? I was walking down to the corner delicatessen one day, and a man asked me for two dollars. He said he needed it for bus fare to get to the hospital to visit his mother who was dying. I told him I didn't have any cash, although I was holding $12.00 in my back pocket. The truth was that I didn’t believe him. I thought he was lying to me because I'd heard so many lies here and because this same man had told me the same story before, and if his mother has been dying that long she should be in a medical journal, and because I am tired of it.



Later, after I got back to the apartment, I thought about the man and about me. The poor guy was worse off than me and all he wanted was two lousy dollars. When had I become so jaded, so suspicious, so calloused? I don't like that part of me, and I don’t like the city that has brought it out for me to see.

Keet was riding the bus and saw a man wearing a new pair of shoes from his favorite brand. He liked them but thought they'd look better in black. When he got home, he went online and found them in black at an online store, Zaps. They were pretty expensive, so he decided to post a picture of them on his social media account to see what his friends would think. The next day, he started seeing ads for the exact shoes and for the online store he had visited. He saw the ads appear when he typed in a search, when he went to his favorite news site, and when he was scrolling through his social media feed. At first he thought it might've just been a coincidence, but when it kept happening, he started to wonder, why am I seeing this everywhere?


1.How did the advertising company know he was interested in those shoes? Or in that store?
2.If Keet didn't want to be tracked by the advertising company, what could he have done differently?

[Honors Seg 1, 01 MC] "They were dying slowly--it was very clear. They were not enemies, they were not criminals, they were nothing earthly now,--nothing but black shadows of disease and starvation, lying confusedly in the greenish gloom. Brought from all the recesses of the coast in all the legality of time contracts, lost in uncongenial surroundings, fed on unfamiliar food, they sickened, became inefficient, and were then allowed to crawl away and rest." Identify the theme of this excerpt from The Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad, and explain the author's interpretation of the British Empire.
