I started to clean everything up, and that was when I noticed something else weird. In the middle of all of that glass was a lit

tle envelope, about the size of a wireless Internet card. What the? I opened it up, and inside there was a key. What the, what the? It was a weird-looking key, obviously to something extremely important, because it was fatter and shorter than a normal key. I couldn’t explain it: a fat and short key, in a little envelope, in a blue vase, on the highest shelf in his closet. —Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer Which three words and phrases in the passage indicate tone? “all that glass” “clean everything” “something extremely important” “something else weird” “What the?”

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs? Alvarez traces how Trujillo demand
OlgaM077 [116]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by J* Alvarez.

Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand.

If you did not march, your cédula would not be stamped, and without a stamped identification card, you could do nothing; in particular, you could not obtain your passport to leave the country under the pretext of wanting to study heart surgery. This was the second escape—this time with his whole family—that my father was planning.

The day came when my mother had to march. The parade went on for hours in the hot sun until my mother was sure she was going to faint. Her feet were swollen and hurting. The back of her white dress was damp with sweat. Finally when she thought she could not go one more step, the grandstand came into sight, a clutter of dress uniforms, a vague figure on the podium.

Which statement best analyzes how the author develops the central idea across the paragraphs?

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.  Alvarez describes how her family reacted to Trujillo’s demands and how that affected their lives when they left the Dominican Republic.  Alvarez retells her mother’s humiliating experience of paying tribute to a dictator she did not support.  Alvarez describes how Trujillo’s mandatory taxes and tributes affected her mother in a negative way."

Answer:

Alvarez traces how Trujillo demanded the tributes, how her family reacted, and how it was finally her mother’s turn to pay tribute.

Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that the narrator explains to us how Trujillo assuming the position of a dictator requires that all citizens of the region offer tributes to him, if they want to remain in the country with a life with the minimum of dignity.

This demand greatly affected the life of the narrator's family, especially his mother, who was forced to pay tribute to a dictator she does not support, just to protect her family.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Explanation:

This excerpt is from Jonathan Swift's (1667 – 1745) satirical article "A Modest Proposal" - <em>for preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.</em>

Option C states almost the same thing as in option D. But option D better explains the situation.

There is also a sharp sense of satire in author's usage of words "fair, cheap and easy". Jonathan Swift's satire is aimed toward government whose policies even in matters of such great importance are economy centered.
