I read the story but around paragraph 3 at the end, the doctor and julianne were discussing treatments and surgery and I quote.
"Th<span>e oncologist was optimistic that with A combination of surgery to remove the cancerous cells followed by SIX chemotherapy CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMEANTS to ensure that all of the cells were destroyed, Julianne could overcome this cancer and go into remission.</span><span>"
so the answer is (B)
hope I answered the question :D</span>
The option that best reflects the technique the author uses to support her purpose on each excerpt is number 2) “The first excerpt uses facts and statistics, and the second excerpt is told as a story.” In the 1st excerpt the author uses credible sources and statistics to show a reality of refugees in Central America and their reasons for asking for asylum. In except 2 on the other hand, the author narrates a story in the 3er person to illustrate violence, drug and social context of a boy.
Option 1 is incorrect since no narrative skills (1st excerpt) nor quotations are used (2nd excerpt).
Option 3 is also incorrect since text 1 focuses on statistics, not on emotions. And text 2 does not use long explanations.
And option 4 is wrong since no strong words are used in text 1 and the second text is told in the 3rd person point of view instead of first person.
