Answer: A) Dave is like a child because all of his pay is given to his mother.

Explanation: In the given excerpt we can see that Dave wants to buy a gun, with the money he have earned at the old Joe's store, but old Joe gives that money to Dave's mom, so Dave says that he is going to beg his mother to give him some of the money, so he can by a gun. Based on the excerpt we can infer that Dave is like a child (even though he is almost seventeen) because all his pay is given to his mother.

The reader can infer that <span>Dave is like a child because all of his pay is given to his mother.

Considering that he is still 17 (but he already wants to own a gun), he is still relatively young and it is reasonable that his pay goes to his mother.</span>

Option C: Governor Faubus’s calling of the Arkansas National Guard to prevent nine African American students from entering Little Rock Central High School, despite the US Supreme Court’s ruling against segregation

Explanation:

The 'Brown vs. Board of Education' made a rule that public schools would be integrated and there would be no segregation made between the whites and blacks in the school. In case it is done, it would be against law. But the governor of 'Arkansas', Governor Faubus, was against this law and he stopped nine African American students to enter Little Rock Central High School.

Jackie Robinson wrote a letter to President Eisenhower urging that he should take quick action and protect the rights of those nine African American students. President's intervention was important in preventing their rights.

irga5000 [103]

The author is trying to convey that in recent years, the extinction rate for many animal species has significantly increased. He began his point in the first sentence of the excerpt: “Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments.” Then, he further emphasizes his point in the sentence: “As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more.” Which is immediately followed by another sentence that supports his argument: “In the world as a whole, extinction rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man.

malfutka [58]
Utilitarian must mean useful and practical.
As you can see in the excerpt above, it says that writers such as Franklin, Paine, Jefferson, and their contemporaries, wrote fiction which served a particular purpose, as opposed to other writers who only wanted to entertain the masses. So, their purpose was not to entertain, therefore <em>fun oriented </em>is wrong here.
