What is the author's purpose in writing this passage? as i drove through the sonoran desert, i was struck by how beautiful everything was. i was speeding down the highway, looking west across the desert, as the sun snuck up behind me. there was just enough light to give a reddish-orange glow to the valley walls. the saguaro cacti cast shadows across the brush dotting the desert floor, and i watched as the saguaros lifted their arms to the sky. all of a sudden, heavy rain began to fall, and when it ended 20 minutes later, the saguaros were left to greedily drink up what little water they could get. the sun rose higher in the sky, and waves of heat began rising off the desert floor. those waves reminded me that the beauty i saw was the result of an unbelievably harsh climate. it's easy to forget how cruel nature can be when you're inside a climate-controlled vehicle. a. to tell the reader how to live in a desert b. to describe to the reader a scenic drive c. to inform the reader about saguaro cacti d. to persuade the reader to visit a desert

Which excerpt from chapter 3 of the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde illustrates a character vs. character conflict? hosts loved to detain the dry lawyer, when the light-hearted and loose-tongued had already their foot on the threshold; they liked to sit a while in his unobtrusive company. the large handsome face of dr. jekyll grew pale to the very lips, and there came a blackness about his eyes. “i do not care to hear more,” said he. “this is a matter i thought we had agreed to drop.” “my good utterson,” said the doctor, “this is very good of you, this is downright good of you, and i cannot find words to you in. i believe you fully; i would trust you before any man alive, ay, before myself.” but i do sincerely take a great, a very great interest in that young man; and if i am taken away, utterson, i wish you to promise me that you will bear with him and get his rights for him.”
