Suppose that a university instituted a policy of hiring 25 percent of its own graduate students as permanent faculty. what would most likely be the author’s reaction to such a policy? a) support, because the author would believe that those students hired could include a "sense of place" in their courses given that "the majority of u. s. college students attend institutions in their home states," this hiring policy would ensure that those hired would be "native." this would increase the chances that they could bring a "sense of place" into the educational environment. option a is correct. b ) support, because the author would believe that universities should their own graduates find jobs the author does not address the university’s responsibility in graduates find employment. c ) opposition, because the author would consider 25 percent to be too low the author clearly endorses such a hiring policy (paragraph 4), and there is no indication that 25 percent would be considered too low. what is said is merely that hiring committees should not include non-native status as an implicit qualification. d) opposition, because the author would believe that such a policy should not be based on a quota system

Read the excerpt from part 2 of zeitoun. zeitoun woke with the sun and crawled out of his tent. the day was bright, and as far as he could see in any direction the city was underwater. . he could only think of judgment day, of noah and forty days of rain. and yet it was so quiet, so still. nothing moved. he sat on the roof and scanned the horizon, looking for any person, any animal or machine moving. nothing. as he did his morning prayers, a helicopter broke the silence, shooting across the treetops and heading downtown. why does the author include the details of zeitoun’s morning? to suggest the hopelessness of zeitoun’s situation to illustrate the solitary existence endured by survivors to establish zeitoun’s dedication to the rituals of his faith to reveal the military’s attempts at assistance
