Read the excerpt from Silent Spring.

In the gutters under the eaves and between the shingles of the roofs, a white granular powder still showed a few patches; some weeks before it had fallen like snow upon the roofs and the lawns, the fields and streams.

Which best explains how the phrase “white granular powder” supports the author’s purpose of calling attention to the environment?

The powder is an unnatural substance.
The powder has a texture like sugar.
The powder looks like freshly fallen snow.
The powder is used in house construction.

Answer:

The option which best explains how the phrase "white granular powder" supports the author's purpose of calling attention to the environment is:

A. the powder is an unnatural substance.

Explanation:

Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964) was a marine biologist and author born in Pennsylvania. In her book "Silent Spring", Carson discusses the harm human beings have been causing to the environment.

The white granular powder mentioned in the passage is pesticide. It is an unnatural substance which is harmful not only for insects but also for the environment in general, including humans. By describing it as a white granular powder, Carson's purpose is to show it is an unnatural substance. Even though it fell "like snow", it is not snow. It is not like anything that truly exists in nature. White granular powder does not fall from the sky at all, unless made by humans, which is the case here.

Read this statement by C.K. Williams about Walt Whitman. For a young poet, reading Whitman is sheer revelation, sheer wonder, a delight bordering on, then plunging into disbelief. How could all this have come to pass? . . . These countless images of daily life, of common life made uncommon, and the most boldly uncommon made jarringly intimate? This is best reflected in “When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer,” when Whitman hears the astronomer’s lecture Whitman looks at charts and diagrams Whitman becomes tired and sick and wanders off Whitman goes out at night and looks at the stars

How Hedy Lamarr Invented Early Wireless Technology

Unhappy being pigeonholed due to her looks, the “most beautiful woman in the world" set out to develop a secret communication system that would take down Nazi submarines.

A lonely immigrant from Austria slips out of her stage clothes and kicks off her heels. Carefully removing her movie makeup, she's dissatisfied that she's been overlooked for more significant roles. Instead of throwing a pity party, however, she heads determinedly for her drafting table, a place where she has previously invented an improved traffic stoplight.

This is where she'll prove to the world that she's more than a pretty face.

This is the real-life story of Hedy Lamarr, Hollywood actress turned tech hero. An inventor whose contributions helped develop a system used in Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi.

She had a knack for designing problem-solving technologies. Transforming the drawing room in her house into an innovation studio with a drafting table and the necessary tools Lamarr invented an aid to help people with limited mobility get in and out of the bath. She also invented a fluorescent dog collar and a bouillon cube* that would dissolve to turn water into soda.

Her best-known success was a passion project that still has applications today. The “secret communication system" she developed with composer George Antheil, a neighbor and friend, was the precursor to today's top wireless technologies. Together, they developed a radio communication system based on the 88 piano keys. It was a success, and the duo received a patent for their work in 1942. Unfortunately, the U.S. Navy ignored their technological feat for another 20 years.

Late, the system became the precursor to modern wireless technologies. Their work remained unrecognized until 1997, when the Electronic Frontier Foundation acknowledged Lamarr and Antheil. When Lamarr heard the EFF was giving her an award, her first words were, 'Well, it's about time.'
