Read the excerpt from "little brother" and answer the question.
after a heated classroom discussion with his substitute teacher following a terrorist attack, marcus is sent to the assistant principal's office.
[1] i went fast to mr. benson's office. cameras filmed me as i went. my gait was recorded. the arphids in my student id broadcast my identity to sensors in the hallway. it was like being in jail.
[2] "close the door, marcus," mr. benson said. he turned his screen around so that i could see the video feed from the social studies classroom. he'd been watching.
[3] "what do you have to say for yourself? "
[4] "that wasn't teaching, it was propaganda. she told us that the constitution didn't matter! "
[5] "no, she said it wasn't religious doctrine. and you attacked her like some kind of fundamentalist, proving her point. marcus, you of all people should understand that everything changed when the bridge was bombed. your friend darryl—"
[6] "don't you say a word about him," i said, the anger bubbling over. "you're not fit to talk about him. yeah, i understand that everything's different now. we used to be a free country. now we're not."
[7] "marcus, do you know what 'zero-tolerance' means? "
[8] i backed down. he could expel me for "threatening behavior." it was supposed to be used against kids who tried to intimidate their teachers. but of course he wouldn't have any compunction about using it on me.
[9] "yes," i said. "i know what it means."
[10] "i think you owe me an apology," he said.
[11] i looked at him. he was barely suppressing his sadistic smile. a part of me wanted to grovel. it wanted to beg for his forgiveness for all my shame. i tamped that part down and decided that i would rather get kicked out than apologize.
select the paragraph that best develops the man vs. society conflict marcus faces.
paragraph 4
paragraph 5
paragraph 6
paragraph 7

Announcer two: ladies and gentlemen, following on the news given in our bulletin a moment ago, the government meteorological bureau has requested the large observatories of the country to keep an astronomical watch on any further disturbances occurring on the planet mars. due to the unusual nature of this occurrence, we have arranged an interview with noted astronomer professor pierson, who will give us his views on the event. in a few moments we will take you to the princeton observatory at princeton, new jersey. we return you until then to the music of ramón raquello and his orchestra. the passage is from the transcript of the radio adaptation of the war of the worlds by h. g. wells. instead of including expert interviews, h. g. wells uses a narrator to tell about an alien invasion that occurred a few years earlier. by including expert interviews, how does the radio broadcast change the story most effectively? o. a. it puts the story in the past tense, increasing its personal tone. o o b. it makes the broadcast sound more like a fictional story. o o c. it makes the broadcast sound like a news report. o d. it makes the story sound less believable by changing who presents the story's details.

Asap plz which sentence from this excerpt of jefferson davis’s inaugural address indicates that secession was the confederacy’s way of reclaiming its legal powers? an agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit . . there can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the northeastern states of the american union. it must follow, therefore, that a mutual interest would invite good will and kind offices. if, however, passion or the lust of dominion should cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of those states, we must prepare to meet the emergency and to maintain, by the final arbitrament of the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth. we have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. through many years of controversy with our late associates, the northern states, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. as a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the confederacy which we have formed. if a just perception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled. but, if this be denied to us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but remain for us, with firm resolve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of providence on a just cause . .
