(will mark brainliest) what is the mood, and word choice in this non fiction article. in 1752, benjamin franklin had a theory that lightning was electricity. he wanted to prove that the power could be transferred to other objects. he grabbed a kite and experimented on a stormy afternoon. franklin believed that thunder clouds contained electrical charges. his plan was to fly the kite into the clouds so that electricity passed down the wet kite string. with his son, william, as his assistant, he went to work. first, he tied an iron key to the silk kite string. next, he ran a metal wire from the key into a jar designed to store electrical charges. once the kite was in the air, he stood in a barn to keep safe and dry. soon, electrical charges from the clouds passed into the kite. they traveled along the wet string, to the key, down the wire, and into the jar. when franklin reached his hand toward the key, he received a mild shock. the electricity had been captured and transferred. the experiment was a success. at least it was for benjamin franklin. other scientists were killed trying to duplicate his efforts. looking back, it was not the safest way to test his theory. in this case, it worked out, and paved the way for future discoveries about electricity.

She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping the blade well away from her gloved fingers. the spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. she did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. she had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. if the animal had died of ebola, this was not a clear case. she opened up the intestine. there was no blood inside it. the gut looked okay. then she examined the stomach. there she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. this could be a sign of ebola, but it was not a clear sign. it could also be a sign of simian fever, not ebola. therefore, she could not confirm the presence of ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy.
