When adding a visual image to technical writing, the image should:

b. show the same text from the page, but in a different way.
c. work independently of the text.
d. offer a different perspective on the information

C. work independently of the text.

Explanation:

The technical writing is a more elaborate and formal text. It differs from literary essays, because they are objective and impartial, in addition to using denotative language.

In this type of writing the images must pass a message, either through graphics, that make the cold accuracy of the numbers something attractive, or in the development of an explanatory image, that will give life to concepts of a product or company. What is important is that these images work independently of the text.

i think that the quotes in paragraph 11 contribute to the development of ideas because it provides a good reasoning of the central idea of the text.

this quote could be referring to the death penalty. it's questioning the morality of sentencing murderers to death as a punishment, because it seems hypocritical. this quote seems to be arguing for non-lethal punishment for killers.
