They sat in the library after dinner and read the evening papers together under the droplight; while the younger people went into the drawing-room near by and talked. Miss Highcamp played some selections from Grieg upon the piano. She seemed to have apprehended all of the composer's coldness and none of his poetry. While Edna listened she could not help wondering if she had lost her taste for music. Which best describes the narrative voice of the excerpt? The author uses an objective observer to present a factual telling of the events of the story. The author uses a subjective observer to present subtle judgments about the characters. The author uses the point of view of a character in the story to offer insight into Mrs. Highcamp’s talents. The author uses the point of view of a character in the story to reveal the young people’s disinterest.

Answer:

The author uses a subjective observer to present subtle judgments about the characters.

Explanation:

Kate Chopin's "The Awakening" revolves around the story of Mrs. Edna Pontellier and her inner desires to be her own, do things her way, and express and say whatever she wishes. The story also deals with themes of freedom, society's expectations of women, etc.

In the given excerpt from the novel, the author uses a subjective observer who provides the readers with subtle judgments of the characters. Here, the unknown observer tells us about Miss Highcamp "[who] seemed to have apprehended all of the composer's coldness and none of his poetry." Even Mrs. Pontellier is not left behind. The observer remarks, "While Edna listened she could not help wondering if she had lost her taste for music."

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

Answer:

B. The author uses a subjective observer to present subtle judgments about the characters.

(from Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, by Mary Shelley, 1818)

Read the passage and choose the best answer.

"Abhorred monster! fiend that thou art! the tortures of hell are too mild a vengeance for thy crimes. Wretched devil! you reproach me with your creation; come on, then, that I may extinguish the spark which I so negligently bestowed." My rage was without bounds; I sprang on him, impelled by all the feelings which can arm one being against the existence of another.

He easily eluded me, and said—

"Be calm! I entreat you to hear me, before you give vent to your hatred on my devoted head. Have I not suffered enough that you seek to increase my misery? Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it. Remember, thou hast made me more powerful than thyself; my height is superior to thine; my joints more supple. But I will not be tempted to set myself in opposition to thee. I am thy creature, and I will be even mild and docile to my natural lord and king, if thou wilt also perform thy part, the which thou owest me. Oh, Frankenstein, be not equitable to every other, and trample upon me alone, to whom thy justice, and even thy clemency and affection, is most due. Remember, that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam; but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed. Everywhere I see bliss, from which I alone am irrevocably excluded. I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous."

Which statement best summarizes "Save the Coral Reefs"?
Coral reefs are a
very important component of the ocean's ecosystem because they support sea life, such as
crabs and sea turtles. In fact, over four thousand species depend on the survival of the reefs, which are being
destroyed by bleaching. More must be done immediately to save the reefs.
• Development along the coastal regions has significant negative effects on coral reefs. The reefs are an essential
part of the ocean's ecosystem, and when people build structures on top of them, they are easily damaged becaus
they are so fragile. We should limit construction along the coast to protect the reefs.
• Construction along the coasts, overfishing, and bleaching have seriously damaged the world's coral reefs. Since
reefs are a very impotant part of the ocean's ecosystem, their destruction
has a devastating environmental
impact, and we must work to protect them.
Coral reefs are fragile structures made of limestone. People who build In coastal regions and others who overfish
our seas must be stopped, because they don't care about all the species that rely on the survival of reefs, such as
sea turtles, clownfish, lobster, sharks, and crabs.
