Mehlania is previewing a text. She noticed that one of the headers of the text is "Monuments in New York City.” What would the paragraphs following this heading most likely include? a)a detailed history of New York City
b)a description of the Statue of Liberty
c)a map of the New York subway system
d)a photograph taken of Fashion Week

b)

Explanation:

The title of the text is “Monuments in NYC.”

You can rule out a) because the text is not about the history of NYC, it’s more of the monuments. Although the history of NYC does involve monuments bulit, it is too broad and can involve much else.

c) and d) can be ruled out too. The NYC subway is a place, but not a monument. D) is focused on Fashion Week, and doesn’t include monuments.

This leaves b). The Statue of Liberty is a monument. (When you think of New York City, one would picture the Statue of Liberty.) In addition, an added description shows that this Statue is an important part or addition in the article. Which should be true, the Statue of Liberty is after all a statue that stands as a monument.

d) sarah's natural reaction to being accepted into college suggests that she has no other dreams.

the purpose of the heading in the passage is to identify who is telling the story.

this excerpt is part of the book sugar changed the world (2010) written by marc aronson and marina budhos. as the book has been written by two people, the heading "marc" indicates that this specific excerpt is being narrated by aronson. in the fragment, marc describes his grandfather's story after hearing it from his cousin. however, there are other excerpts where budhos is the one that tells the story of her family.

aronson and budhos, who are husband and wife in real life, decided to write sugar changed the world when they found out how sugar, which had an important role in slavery and economy, changed their ancestors' lives.
