The theme of this story may be somewhere in the lines of "live your life to the fullest, don't waste any opportunities".

Wharton uses irony to express and convey this idea of living life and being free. For example, the writer mentions that the woman in the story hadn't had the chance of people envying her wedding presents (while her husband was very sick and in bed rest) This meant that she was more worried about living her life and people knowing she was a newlywed than her husband actually dying.

The story describes how this woman felt life hadn't been fair with her and she only wanted to live life up to its fullest, regardless of her surroundings and what was happening to her.

There are two piles, one containing 9gold coins and the other 11silver coins. The two piles of coins weigh the same. One coin is
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Weight of silver coin = 29.25 units , weight of gold coin = 35.75 units

Explanation:

Let the weight of 1 gold coin be W_{1}

Weight of 1 silver coin be W_{2}

Total no of gold coins = 9

Total no of silver coins = 11

Total weight of gold coins = 9\times W_{1}

Total weight of silver coins = 11\times W_{2}

It is given that both weigh same thus we have

9W_{1}=11W_{2}............(i)

After replacing coins the weights become as under

Gold Stack\\9W_{1}-W_{1}+W_{2}=8W_{1}+W_{2}\\\\SilverStack\\\\11W_{2}-W_{2}+W_{1}=10W_{2}+W_{1}

Now it is given that gold stack weighs 13 unit less thus adding 13 units to gold stack gives it's weight equal to silver stack

the above relation modifies as

8W_{1}+W_{2}+13=10W_{2}+W_{1}\\7W_{1}+13=9W_{2}..........(ii)

8W_{1}+W_{2}+13=10W_{2}+W_{1}\\7W_{1}+13=9W_{2}..........(ii)\\\\7\frac{11W_{2}}\\\\Solving equation i and ii we get\\\\{9}+13=9W_{2}\\\\77W_{2}+117=81W_{2}\\\\4W_{2}=117\\\\W_{2}=\frac{117}{4}=29.25units\\\\W_{1}=\frac{11W_{2}}{9}=35.75units

Read these excerpts from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The answer is letter B, The first passage uses factual descriptions to achieve an informative tone, but the second passage uses personal experience to achieve a reflective tone.

Explanation:

Every writer has a theme when it comes to writing. In order to let the audience or readers know about its theme, it sets a specific tone which <u>tells much about a writer's attitude</u>. The tone can vary in the different parts of the story or it can just be one.

In the passages above, the first one uses factual description to achieve an informative tone. <u>Factual descriptions</u> <em>are based on information that are proven to be true (facts).</em> The description of the Tai-me of being a small image, less than 2 feet in length, etc. shows the real description about the thing. <u>It then tries to inform or let the readers know what Tai-me is all bout, thus using an "informative tone."</u>

The second passage, on the contrary, uses personal experience to achieve a reflective tone. The writer tells a story about visiting his father and grandmother and seeing the Tai-me. This is a personal experience which tries to achieve a reflective tone by sharing insights to the readers.
