Read the paragraph from the article: Depending on the person and situation, I'll have different answers to that dreaded question.
I'll tell white lies and change my story as I go, like many other TCKs. Sometimes I'll go for the
quick Finland and Senegal. Other times I'll tell the whole story: that I was born in
Helsinki, Finland, moved to Luxembourg, then to Brussels, Belgium, and finally to London,
England. Or I might say that my mum is from Finland and dad from Senegal, but that I really
feel like my home is in the U. K. now.
How does this paragraph contribute to the author's argument?
O It provides evidence that most TCKs feel forced to lie about their origins in order to maintain
their personal privacy.
It highlights the locations of her parents' origins in order to emphasize the cultures she feels
most connected to.
O It establishes her experience as a TCK as well as illustrating the challenges of relating that
experience to others.
It reiterates her nervousness about being accepted as well as illustrating which parts of the
story have been made up.

Read this passage from “the fall of the house of usher.” which element of gothic literature is not obvious in this passage? as if in the superhuman energy of his utterance there had been found the potency of a spell, the huge antique panels to which the speaker pointed threw slowly back, upon the instant, their ponderous and ebony jaws. it was the work of the rushing gust—but then without those doors there did stand the lofty and enshrouded figure of the lady madeline of usher. there was blood upon her white robes, and the evidence of some bitter struggle upon every portion of her emaciated frame. for a moment she remained trembling and reeling to and fro upon the threshold—then, with a low moaning cry, fell heavily inward upon the person of her brother, and in her violent and now final death agonies, bore him to the floor a corpse, and a victim to the terrors he had anticipated. bleak or remote settings supernatural or otherworldly elements macabre or violent incidents strong language full of dangerous meaning
