The following passage will be used to answer questions 1-4. [1]There is no getting around it-most teens use social media. (2)A recent
study by the child advocacy group Common Sense Media suggests that 90%
of people aged 13 to 17 years have used social media, while 51% say they
visit a social networking site daily. (3)So what is the effect of all of these
social media on teenagers' social lives? (4)Perhaps surprisingly, social media
can be a positive force in teens' lives, helping them stay in touch with
friends, feel better about themselves, and connect with the larger world.
What is the purpose of the opening sentence?
O to use a commonplace assertion to prove a poin
to establish the author's claim from the very beginning of the argument
to get the reader's attention by stating a generalization with which most readers
would agree
to insist that the reader accept her position

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!

b) the sentance would correctly look more like this: jerry's team manned the winning boat with a broken rudder.

the answer choice that best describes the point of view from which the story is told is the option b. the doctor tells the story from the first person point of view. this is true because in the story of "the siege of berlin" by daudet alphonse it seems like an anecdote but the doctor tells the story with some irony and some patriotic pathos, the doctor tells all that he saw as the attending physician and that makes the narration more realistic as a professional tells the facts and combines the narration with the elements in the story. it's no the option a because it is clear that the doctor tells the story even if at the beginning we start to read about an unnamed narrator who is talking about a visit to champs-elyseés in the company of the doctor. in this case, he is the character who opens the story and introduce the context to understand where the story begins and why that is when the doctor stops at a great corner house and tells the story of colonel and his granddaughter. it's not the option c because the colonel is not telling his story and what happened to him, it is the doctor's words of his appearance, his apoplexy and his life. and finally, it's not the option d, because in this story we can read just the point of view of the doctor as he is the one who told us the story of colonel and he describes the reaction of the girl not her point of view.

may i have the context?
