Which excerpt from The Great Fire is a counterexample of the theme that people have the capacity to act selflessly during disast

ers?
"I saw a great many kindly acts done as we moved along," White would recall almost fondly.
I heard of cartmen demanding one hundred and fifty dollars (in hand, of course) for carrying a single load.
The wind had increased in velocity, and burning chunks of wood were being carried for many blocks before they fell to earth.
In addition to the tiny shacks, substantial wood, brick, and stone structures were begun as well, and an army of workers emerged to do the job.

The correct answer is alternative one.

In the first excerpt, White has affectionate memories about the good-hearted and thoughtful performances that people executed at the time they moved forward. As a consequence, the passage is a good example that human beings possesss the ability to behave in a benevolent and self-sacrificing manner in the course of a catastrophe.

the radio broadcast war of the worlds was told in present tense. how did this affect the way that people reacted to it
Tanzania [10]

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.
