Im running out of time read the two passages from a raisin in the sun.
passage 1:
ruth: you know what i'm going to do soon as i get in that
new house?
beneatha: what?
ruth: honey-i'm going to run me a tub of water up to
(with her fingers practically up to her nostrils.) and
i'm going to get in it-and i am going to sit and
and sit in that hot water and the first person who knocks to
tell me to hurry up and come out-
beneatha: gets shot at sunrise.
ruth (laughing happily): you said it, sister!
passage 2:
mama (еying the box, which is obviously a gift): what is that? walter (taking it from ruth and putting it on the table in front of mama) : well - what you all think? should we give it to her? ruth: oh- she was pretty good today. mama: i’ll good you - she turns her eyes to the box again. which statement best compares the two passages? the first passage hints that the family members
misunderstand one another, and the second passage
confirms it.
o the first passage hints that the family members are
easily distracted in conversations, and the second
passage confirms it.
o both passages show that the family members enjoy
celebrating life's simple pleasures.
o both passages show that the family members are poor
but are generous with one another.

Read the quotation from "an occurrence at owl creek bridge." and now he became conscious of a new disturbance. striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmithâ€™s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. he wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near byâ€”it seemed both. its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. he awaited each stroke with impatience andâ€”he knew not whyâ€”apprehension. the intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. with their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. they hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. what he heard was the ticking of his watch. which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? it suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. it suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. it suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. it suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.
