How would you characterize Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel’s statement: “‘The one thing that we don't know is what the potential of the life would be that was snuffed out in the crime’” (Paragraph 24)?

Attorney General Dustin McDaniel's supported the idea that juveniles should be imprisoned without parole. For him, people don't know what capability or good things the person who died from the crime or who was a victim of the crime could have contributed to the society. He opposed the view of others who were claiming that imprisoning the juveniles was unfair. The statement shows his strong conviction to what he believes in.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the article entitled "Do Juvenile Killers Deserve Life Behind Bars?," written by Nina Totenberg.  

The main idea of the article is to show whether juveniles who commit crime should be put behind bars without parole or not. Opposing sides are being mentioned in the article with some claiming that juveniles still have the chance to be rehabilitated and with others claiming that juveniles also deserve to be punished.

So, this explains the answer.

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
