Once an iron merchant, called Krishnan, had to leave his home and go to
a distant city on some important business. He would be away for more than
six months. In his godown, he had about a ton of iron bars. It was a great
problem to know what to do with them. He could not keep them locked up in
the godown, for then he would not only have to pay a large rent, but also the
wages of a watchman for six long months. Moreover, when he returned prices
might have fallen and he would then have to sell the bars at a very great loss.
Obviously the best thing to do was to sell them before he went away,
but though he tried hard to find a customer, no one seemed to want to buy
them.
One of his friends, called Gopal, was also a dealer in iron. He also had a godown
where he kept his raw iron for sale as and when he found customers.
His godown was very large and he could easily keep Krishnan’s bars in
one corner. He told Krishnan that he could safely leave the iron in his
godown and go on his journey. It would all be there when he came back.
Krishnan decided to do this. He thanked his friend Gopal for his kindness,
sent him the iron, and left the town with a light heart.

Read the quotation from "an occurrence at owl creek bridge." and now he became conscious of a new disturbance. striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. he wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. he awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. the intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. with their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. they hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. what he heard was the ticking of his watch. which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? it suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. it suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. it suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. it suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.

Read this excerpt from "edward jenner and the history of smallpox and vaccination.” smallpox was introduced to europe sometime between the fifth and seventh centuries and was frequently epidemic during the middle ages. the disease greatly affected the development of western civilization. the first stages of the decline of the roman empire (ad 108) coincided with a large-scale epidemic: the plague of antonine, which accounted for the deaths of almost 7 million people. the arab expansion, the crusades, and the discovery of the west indies all contributed to the spread of the disease. unknown in the new world, smallpox was introduced by the spanish and portuguese conquistadors. the disease decimated the local population and was instrumental in the fall of the empires of the aztecs and the incas. similarly, on the eastern coast of north america, the disease was introduced by the early settlers and led to a decline in the native population. before it reached the new world, smallpox played a role in
