Read this passage. Then, explain how the dialect and both Curt's and Paulo's response to conflict provide characterization. Be sure to use specific examples from the passage to support your response. Passage
Paulo stared in horror as the baseball he hit soared over the fence, shattering the front window of the house.

"Let's get out of here!" said his friend Curt, who had pitched the ball.

"We can't just leave!" Paulo said.

"No one knows we're here! We could get away with it. If we don't, we'll have to pay for the window."

The front door of the house opened, and Curt darted off toward the trail. Paulo considered following his friend. After all, if he ran, he'd get away and no one would know he'd broken the window. But if he stayed, he'd be in trouble and have to use all his allowance to pay for the broken window.

Finally, Paulo took a deep breath and walked slowly toward the imposing figure on the front porch. It was an old woman with her hands on her hips.

"The broken window was my fault," he said in a meek voice. "I'm really sorry. I'll pay for it."

Read the passage from sugar changed the world. but it is in india, where it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies, that we have the first written record of sugar. long before the first pyramids were built in egypt, the ancient sumerians traded with the people of harappa and mohenjo daro, who lived along the indus river. unfortunately, we are still not able to read the writings left behind from those ancient cities. so the first documents telling us about life in that region come from a much later period. these hindu sacred teachings were probably first gathered together sometime between 1500 and 900 b. c., and were carefully memorized. only hundreds of years later were they finally written down. the hindu writings tell us of a religion in which fire was extremely important. people believed that the gods gave fire to human beings. yet fire was also a way for humans to reach the gods. by placing offerings in a special fire, a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods. five ingredients were selected for this special burning: milk, cheese, butter, honey, and sugar cane. which details would best fit in a summary of this passage? select two options. "in india . . it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies" "the first written record of sugar" "long before the first pyramids were built in egypt" "gods gave fire to human beings" "a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods"
