7. (RL2.A) Read the sentences.
"Fancy! For forty years he had been there in the same place, with his garden outside the window and his class in front of him
just like that. Only the desks and benches had been worn smooth; the walnut trees in the garden were taller, and the hopvine
that he had planted himself twined about the windows to the roof."
Why did the author use flashback in this paragraph?
to show that Mr. Hamel has spent a lot of his time gardening
to show how difficult it is for Hamel to give up his classroom
to show how Mr. Hamel cares little about his classroom, as it is merely a
place
to show how Mr. Hamel cares more about his plants than his students

The answer is "to show how difficult it is for Hamel to give up his classroom." Also what is the name of the text? I want to read the full thing myself too.

Explanation:

i would say the answer is erm c but if you dont agree im so sorry

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
