The statement which best describes Hopping's viewpoint and purpose in this excerpt is the following one:

The author views Diane as a clever scientist and includes this excerpt to inform readers about Diane's sharp reasoning skills.

Lorraine Jean Hopping wants the reader to be impressed by the acuteness of Diane France's reasoning skills. Diane, a forensic anthropologist, is often at crime scenes or sites where tragedies took place in order to find out the unexplained reasons for what happened. She is very clever and also very "close" to the skeletons she runs into along the way. Hence the way she refers to them: "This <em>guy</em> smoked a pipe." In the aforementioned excerpt, the author wants to show the reader how strong this bond is by mentioning an occasion in which Diane Frances knew in detail about a deceased person's smoking habits just by looking at the teeth in their skull.

In about two hundred words, show what you understand about the literary devices used in the plot development of Things Fall Apar
Alexandra [31]

There are many literary devices used in the plot development of <em>Things Fall Apart</em>; let's remember that we call a <em>literary device</em> all those tools an author use to convey his/her ideas and points in a story.

One of the tools used by Achebe in this text is irony. One example of this is Okonkwo's suicide at the end. After saying he could survive everything, you don't expect him to do it.

Another literary device the author uses is foreshadowing. This happens when an event or action hits at a future event or action. This is used, for example, when Okonkwo falls into depression after being exiled to his motherland for killing a clansman and, at the end he commites suicide. This depression meant more for him that any other event and changed his destiny.

Symbolism is other used tool in this story when referred to a man's ability to grow yams. It is directly tied to his manhood and how others see him as a man. In this particular case, the yam is the major symbol of masculinity.
