Answer:

The answer is letter B, The first passage uses factual descriptions to achieve an informative tone, but the second passage uses personal experience to achieve a reflective tone.

Explanation:

Every writer has a theme when it comes to writing. In order to let the audience or readers know about its theme, it sets a specific tone which <u>tells much about a writer's attitude</u>. The tone can vary in the different parts of the story or it can just be one.

In the passages above, the first one uses factual description to achieve an informative tone. <u>Factual descriptions</u> <em>are based on information that are proven to be true (facts).</em> The description of the Tai-me of being a small image, less than 2 feet in length, etc. shows the real description about the thing. <u>It then tries to inform or let the readers know what Tai-me is all bout, thus using an "informative tone."</u>

The second passage, on the contrary, uses personal experience to achieve a reflective tone. The writer tells a story about visiting his father and grandmother and seeing the Tai-me. This is a personal experience which tries to achieve a reflective tone by sharing insights to the readers.

Revise the passage by changing all of the gerunds to infinitives and all of the infinitives to gerunds.
AnnZ [28]

On the one hand, a <u>gerund</u> is a verb that acts as a noun, know for the -ing form. On the other hand, an <u>infinitive</u> is the basic form of a verb, that usually follows  "to" or another verb form.  The revised sentence, including both of these, is:

"To give is one of the best things people can do. Volunteering their time shows what caring people they are."

What makes Marlow different from other seamen?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. He is a wanderer.

Explanation:

Referring to the book <em>"Heart of Darkness."</em>, we have a narrator named Charlie Marlow.

The main narrator describes him as someone similar to Buddha. He is someone who sees beyond what he really has in front. <u>He is not a simple seaman like the others</u>. He is an honest and intelligent person, detached from everything material.

The narrator even says it explicitly in the lines <em>“But Marlow was not typical, and to him the meaning of an episode was not inside like a kernel but outside  ...”</em> and also <em>“He did not represent his class”. </em>

The main narrator says that unlike the others seaman, Marlow did not lead a sedentary life, but was a wanderer. The way he told his story was very different from the simple way others did it.

Which BEST shows how the author of Passage 1
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The city is portrayed as a challenge for Caroline to  either use its advantages to mature or to succumb  to its dangers.

Explanation:

Caroline Meeber (sister Carrie) is an eighteen year old lady who left her village in Wisconsin in search of a green pastures in Chicago. She was out to pursue her dream of wealth and fame.

The setting of passage 1 is a Chicago-bound train where Caroline, leaving home for the first time to stay with her sister, battles with her thoughts - how would life in the city be?

Nostalgic feelings of home are some quickly replaced with her expectations of city life - lights and sounds of a fast-paced city, moving cars, big houses and mansions, fame and affluence.

Even though Caroline was naive in thinking, her tastes and desires were certainly very high. She was also nervous and a bit fearful not knowing exactly what life in the city would offer her.
