Read the excerpt from Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

At the time that Harry and the professor embarked upon their journey, the authenticity of the jawbone's age was questioned by several people, including the M. Elie de Beaumont with whom the professor had several angry exchanges. This discovery essentially proves the professor correct. His entire impromptu lecture could be condensed into a quick "I was right" statement!
Using the context clues, what does "impromptu" mean?

something done in anger
completed without planning
nonfiction
done with a great deal of consideration

the correct answer is:

this is an example of the writer telling through description rather than showing through dialogue.

sometimes writers like to explain explicitely what's happening instead of adding dialogues of the situations., which is the case in this passage,

explanatithe story "two kinds" , revolves around a strict relationship between a mother and daughter. the mother tries very hard to make sure her daughter jing mei , is successful in life and lives up to her full potential. the story explores alot of different themes. though , there is one theme that really stands out. you cant force someone to be something that their not.

jing mei's mother was an immagrant from china. she moved to the united states to give her daughter , jing mei , a better and successful life for her. and being raised in china with their strict rules and striving to be perfect took a toll on her and her daughters relationship. she pressures her daughter to be great and perfect all the time but it gets really hard for her to live up to her mothers standards. her mother believes that jing mei can be a child prodigy and prepares her to be and act like one. furthermore , the story ends with jing mei getting everything off her chest and seeing the dissappointment in her mothers eyes as she finds out her daughter has not lived up to her full potential. and her mother has finally gained an understanding of her daughter.
