Which sentence describes the main idea of this passage?

every so often, i consider simplifying my life and getting rid of my landline phone so that i just have a cell phone. it just seems silly to have two phones, yet something always stops me. some little voice in my head reminds me that a landline and a cell phone have very different advantages. for example, cell phones may be fully portable, but i still haven't found one that's comfortable to talk on for long periods of time. also, cell phone reception can cut in and out or even be lost completely. my landline is a solid, quality phone that gets excellent reception. also, landlines do not need to be charged every day. friends warn me that landlines are for dinosaurs, but i don't care.

a.
landlines have become outdated because of cell phones.
b.
cell phones are the future of wireless communication.
c.
landlines and cell phones both have advantages and disadvantages.
d.
technology keeps on changing over time, and people need to change with it.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were a wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
