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 tells much about a writer's attitude. 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. Factual descriptions are based on information that are proven to be true (facts). 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. It then tries to inform or let the readers know what Tai-me is all bout, thus using an "informative tone."

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.

1. What do paragraphs 65-72 reveal about the kids'

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is The kids realize that the rain is less enjoyable than the sun.

Explanation:

It seems that the kids haven't seen the Sun in a very long time, years even. They are living underground on Venus and they have been for years. So in this moment, they finally see the Sun and all run outside to play and have fun and soak in the warmth after such a long time.

However, their happiness doesn't last long as it starts pouring rain and they have to go back to the underground house, understanding they will have to wait another seven years for the Sun to appear again.

Here is the entire excerpt:

A few cold drops fell on their noses and their cheeks and their mouths. The sun faded behind a stir of mist. A wind blew cool around them. They turned and started to walk back toward the underground house, their hands at their sides, their smiles vanishing away.
