Select the correct text in the passage.
which line in this excerpt from kurt vonnegut's “report on the barnhouse effect” indicates that the story is an example of social sci-fi?
"if all i could do was make inkwells dance, i'd be tickled silly with the whole business." he shrugged disconsolately. "but i'm no toy, my boy. if you like, we can drive around the neighborhood, and i'll show you what i mean." he told me about pulverized boulders, shattered oaks, and abandoned farm buildings demolished within a fifty-mile radius of the campus. "did every bit of it sitting right here, just thinking—not even thinking hard."

he scratched his head nervously. "i have never dared to concentrate as hard as i can for fear of the damage i might do. i’m to the point where a mere whim is a blockbuster." there was a depressing pause. "up until a few days ago, i’ve thought it best to keep my secret for fear of what it might be put to," he continued. "now i realize that i haven’t any more right to it than a man has a right to own an atomic bomb."

he fumbled through a heap of papers. "this says about all that needs to be said, i think." he handed me a draft of a letter to the secretary of state.

Read the excerpt from dominique’s personal narrative. tired of waiting for the bus, which was late for the fifth day in a row, i sat leafing through an old magazine i had stuffed in my purse the previous night. it was terribly warm for a september afternoon, and the sun cast fleeting shadows on the bus stop sign with each car that passed. i wondered when the weather would get cooler and when the new bus driver would start arriving on time. it was about then that i first noticed the apparent agitation of the man sitting next to me. finally, the bus arrived and ambled to a gradual stop directly in front of the restless man. the doors widened, and the bus driver greeted the man with his usual banter in his usual monotone. "good afternoon. how are you today? ” when writing the next few lines of dialogue, dominique should be certain that the lines provide clues about what will happen later on in the narrative. contain made-up details that make the story more exciting. include everyday language that seems real and natural. use precise words that make both men sound educated.

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.
