Answer:

B. This remark tells us that much of humanity has lost its appreciation for earth and nature, to the point of resenting its mere appearance.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the short story entitled, "The Machine Stops." It focuses on two characters namely, Vashti and Kuno (her son). In the story, people were living underground and no longer on the surface of the earth. They were able to meet their needs through a global Machine. People were placed in isolated rooms where they communicated with other people through instant messages and video conferences. There were actually some people called the "homeless outcasts" who tried to live on the surface of the Earth.

Unlike her son, Kuno, who was interested to visit and know more about the surface of the Earth, Vashti was "not interested in natural inspiration." So, this explains her remark above. It shows how much of humanity has lost their appreciation for earth and nature. This is the extent to which the underground Machine did to people in the "poisoned darkness."

So, this explains the answer.

Answer:

Dialogue that shows how the people in the story interact.

Explanation:

In the text we see that the author already uses descriptive details to engage the reader. The author also already uses personal pronouns such as “I” and “Me”. The author uses figurative language and other ways of showing how the writer was feeling. The author should include dialogue to show how people in the story interact as this would add more depth.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

The denotative meaning of peculiar is "belonging to one person." The connotative meaning of this word kind of has a negative feeling. In the second sentence, the connotative meaning is slightly more positive than the first statement, although it still seems a bit negative. I think that connotative meanings help establish a meaningful tone in any text because they give of the feeling of if they are negative or positive which in turn helps the readers understand the tone of the overall story.
