English

Answer with Explanation:

The speaker depicts the Americans as unable to cherish the beautiful moments because they are <em>always in a hurry</em> to think about what other things they can accomplish due to short time. This shows their materialistic side that once they achieve one thing, they relax and, in just a moment, they become violent again to get more than they achieved.

They always want to achieve things easily <em>without thinking about the consequences of their actions</em> on others because they want to be <u>easily gratified. </u>They are not immediately contented nor do they find things perfect for their satisfaction. Thus, they are always<u> restless and anxious</u> and it makes them<em> unhappy</em> even if they have the abundance of things.

Read these excerpts from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

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.
