It’s no secret that the internet contains a lot of false information. Fiction pretending to be legitimate news is shared on social media all the time. Much of it is read and shared as if it were real. Some fake information is created to get people to click on links, since websites can earn money when people visit their pages. These articles are often referred to as “clickbait.” Some clickbait is intended to trick or confuse readers. Content like this often relies on inflammatory language and shocking images designed to invoke an emotional reaction from consumers. Some of this can be chalked up to confirmation bias — when people are presented with content that confirms their existing beliefs, they’re less likely to question whether or not it’s actually real. Based on the passage, which of these is true of clickbait?

A
It is rarely shared on social media.

B
It does not earn any money for websites.

C
It is intended to convey accurate information.

D
It often plays into consumers’ confirmation bias.

Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "that spot" by jack london? i don’t think much of stephen mackaye any more, though i used to swear by him. i know that in those days i loved him more than my own brother. if ever i meet stephen mackaye again, i shall not be responsible for my actions. it passes beyond me that a man with whom i shared food and blanket, and with whom i mushed over the chilcoot trail, should turn out the way he did. i always sized steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. i shall never trust my judgment in men again. why, i nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the stewart; and he saved my life on the little salmon. and now, after the years we were together, all i can say of stephen mackaye is that he is the meanest man i ever knew. a. excited b. ironic c. indignant d. playful

At first i was afraid to approach him—then the fear left me. he was sitting looking out over the city—he was dressed in the clothes of the gods. his age was neither young nor old—i could not tell his age. but there was wisdom in his face and great sadness. you could see that he would have not run away. he had sat at his window, watching his city die—then he himself had died. but it is better to lose one's life than one's spirit—and you could see from the face that his spirit had not been lost. i knew, that, if i touched him, he would fall into dust—and yet, there was something unconquered in the face. how does the conflict at the beginning of the paragraph move the plot forward? the narrator realizes that he is scared of the gods. the narrator realizes that he distrusts the spirits the narrator realizes that the god was a man. the narrator realizes that he is powerful like the gods.
