I believe the missing excerpt is from Midsummer by Derek
Walcott, which is as follows:
With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings,
midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn's fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.
So, based on the excerpt, the speaker thinks that the
riot was somewhat inevitable.
To add, Midsummer is a sequence of 54 lyrics that record one
year's passing in the poet's life from summer to summer.

Answer:
<em>My car looks brand new with its rusted fender and dented doors.</em>
Explanation:
Sarcasm is when someone say something opposite to the actual scenario, to mock something just to make it funny in a delighted way of humor. <em>"My car is brand new"</em> is totally opposite to <em>"it's rusted fender and dented doors". </em>
Clearly his car is old, has rusted fender and dented doors which means poorly managed, but he for the sake of laugh or to make it funny mentioned it a brand new car.
Answer:
It was told in the present tense to give an illusion of realism. This affected the reaction of some people by making them believe that it was truly happening.
Explanation:
There were two significant changes between the novel and radio adaptation. One was the change of place on which the story took place, in the novel the action was in England while in the Welles´s broadcast happened on United States soil.
The other change, that is about the question asked, was the change of the tense in which the story was told. For the novel, H.G. Wells used the past tense to told a fictional story that had already happened. But in the radio version the tense used was present to be more realistic and persuade the audience that the action was happening on that same time.
I hope this answer helps you.

Dear Diary
Today I read an article about how the coronavirus affected cultural habits in different countries and how it made people rethink whether these acts were really important and had real value in people's lives. One of the cultural habits cited in the article was Indian weddings.
Indian weddings are an important part of Indian culture and are characterized by large parties, with the presence of many people, an abundance of food and much exposure of wealth, refinement and prosperity. Many people claim that the prohibition of these marriages, due to the coronavirus, showed how wasteful they are and that they add nothing to anyone's life. I do not agree with that, because I believe that cultural customs are very important and that they must be realized, because they are part of who we are.
Of course, for security reasons, it is impossible to perform these weddings now. But we must not turn our back on our culture and the customs that show who we are. We must not let our culture die and these customs must be carried forward, whenever possible.
Beena.
