Read these paragraphs from the story. i told him my address. it would take an hour’s quick walk to get back home. “it’s like this,” he said. “we’ll look at the matter straight. if you go back home tonight, you take your chance of accidents. a cart may run over you, and there’s always banana skins and orange peel, to say nothing of fallen ladders.” he spoke of the improbable with an intense seriousness that would have been laughable six hours before. but i did not laugh. what does this interaction between the two men reveal about james? james is skeptical and thinks mr. atkinson is overreacting to the situation. james is dismayed by the things mr. atkinson says and begins to feel uncomfortable. james is surprised by mr. atkinson's solemnness and thinks there is value in what the man is saying. james is appreciative of mr. atkinson's concern and wonders if he should hurry home. the correct answer is; "james is surprised by mr. atkinson's solemnness and thinks there is value in what the man is saying." i am not putting this up so someone can answer but so when people search this they will know the correct the correct answer is not; "james is skeptical and thinks mr. atkinson is overreacting to the situation." everyone said that was the right answer but its your

3one of the biggest impacts a building has on earth is the energy it uses. currently, most of the world’s energy comes from burning fossil fuels. these fuels are dirty and when they are burned they pollute the air and water. one way to burn fewer fossil fuels is to reduce the amount of electricity a building has to use. passive solar heating, which uses heat from the sun, reduces the amount of fossil fuel used to heat buildings. passive solar heating requires a south-facing wall made of glass. when sunlight shines through the wall, it is collected and used to warm the building. another way green buildings reduce their electricity use is to install other energy sources. for example, some green buildings use panels that turn energy from the sun into useable electricity. which is the best summary of paragraph 3? a) fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water. most of the world's energy comes from these fuels. b) the biggest problem of buildings is that they use fuel that is dirty for heating. they need to do something to be more energy efficient. c) panels that turn energy from the sun into electricity and passive solar heating can stop the burning of fossil fuels which pollute air and water. d) since fossil fuels are dirty and pollute the air and water, other technologies that pollute less and produce energy have been developed like solar energy and green buildings.
