Which evidence from the Newsela article "Health Benefits of Reading, Writing, Are Not Just for Patients" supports the central ideas that reading can help people better understand one another and that reading can help improve people's feelings about their own lives? Select the two correct answers.

"Coke points to books such as Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes. In that book the author writes about growing up poor in 1930s and ’40s Ireland."

"'We learn through the experiences of the characters we read about,' Coke says. 'Because we empathize, or feel what others are feeling, we expand our understanding of other people in other situations. We are also less bothered by our own misfortunes.'"

"He found that children and adults who have read stories their whole lives were more likely to correctly identify the feelings and thoughts of others than those who do not read regularly."

"For example, think of fairy tales that teach moral lessons. Or religious texts that wrestle with valleys of despair and mountains of hope, or poetry that cleanses the writer’s soul."

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
