Answer:

In the passage, the sentence form is complicated. This sophisticates the sound. The tone is often personal, especially as the author discusses situations at the grocery store that he has encountered. The depiction of food objects rolling around in the trunk of a vehicle, for example, is something that most readers undoubtedly have familiarity with first-hand and would find humorous. The author also jokes that the once near-perfect upstanding paper bag" has almost replaced the plastic bag. The term upstanding can be taken simply to mean something that sticks up upright like a paper bag, or it can mean positive character. So out of that the poet makes a funny pun. As the author is frustrated that plastic bags are now more tolerated than paper ones, the essay ends on an unhappy note.

Answer:

I enjoyed learning about the history of the grocery bag. I didn’t realize that the design of a simple object like a paper bag had undergone so many changes. I had difficulty understanding the text in a few places. Occasionally the writer would list a lot of details at once. Some of the sentences were also really long and complex. I also had difficulty relating to the writer's experiences with shopping. Some of these experiences happened before I was born. Talking to my mom about this section of the reading made the text easier to understand.

Which statement best describes the claim the authors make in this passage?
Gwar [14]

The statement that best describes the author´s claim in this passage is the first one: Violent uprisings were common, but Gandhi worked to show that resistance could be nonviolent.

Gandhi (1869-1948) was an Indian activist who led the Indian Independence movement against Bristish rule. He inspires movements of civil rights and freedom in a context of violent colonization. He employed non-violent civis disobedience claiming that "Non violence is a weapon of the strong".

He was arrested many times, he supported peace armies during both War Worlds. He was finally assassinated at the age of 78 by a militant Hindu nationalist.
