Select the correct text in the passage. Which two sentences best show how the third-person point of view contributes to a feeling of excitement and suspense in the passage? excerpt from Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne Phileas Fogg rightly suspected that his departure from London would create a lively sensation at the West End. The news of the quest spread and afforded an interesting topic of conversation to many. From the neighborhood, it soon got into the papers throughout England. The boasted "tour of the world" was talked about, disputed, argued with much warmth and passion. Some took sides with Phileas Fogg, but the large majority shook their heads and declared against him. “It was absurd, impossible,” they declared, “that the tour of the world could be made.” The Times, Standard, Morning Post, and Daily News, and twenty other highly respectable newspapers labeled Mr. Fogg's project as ridiculous. The Daily Telegraph alone hesitatingly supported him. People in general thought he was foolish. Everything, it said, was against the travelers, every obstacle imposed alike by man and by nature.

The two sentences that show how the third-person point of view contributes to a feeling of excitement and suspense are:

The third-person point of view allows the reader to know all points of the story, as the narrator has unlimited access to it. Thus, the reader knows everything along with the narrator.

Nancy put a pair of hearing protectors over her ears. She had started

Read the excerpt from "The Lady Maid's Bell."

But that wasn't the only queer thing in the house. The very next day I found out that Mrs. Brympton had no
nurse; and then I asked Agnes about the woman I had seen in the passage the afternoon before. Agnes said
she had seen no one, and I saw that she thought I was dreaming. To be sure, it was dusk when we went down
the passage, and she had excused herself for not bringing a light; but I had seen the woman plain enough to
know her again if we should meet. I decided that she must have been a friend of the cook's, or of one of the
other women servants: perhaps she had come down from town for a night's visit, and the servants wanted it
kept secret. Some ladies are very stiff about having their servants' friends in the house overnight. At any rate,
I made up my mind to ask no more questions.

How does this excerpt support the idea that the story is told by an unreliable narrator?

A. The narrator tries to justify having seen a woman.
B. The narrator does not trust what Agnes tells her.
C. The narrator wants to meet the servants' visiting friends.
D. The narrator wants to know who Mrs. Brympton's nurse is.

"Consumers are fickle, so companies will go to great lengths to keep their interest and attract new customers. One example is the recent trend of “rebranding,” or corporations changing their name or look in an attempt to seem new and interesting. This is an expensive gamble. Do it right and a company gets positive buzz and a bump in the bottom line. Do it wrong, and a company becomes a laughingstock with a lot of former customers looking elsewhere.
"One example of rebranding is Dunkin’ Donuts changing its name to Dunkin’. Marketing experts think this is likely to go over well. It retains most of the familiar name, while shifting focus to the company’s most profitable product, coffee. It feels customer friendly. As the CEO says, 'Friends use first names.'

Read these lines from Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi:
This ["cub"-engineer] had money, too, and hair oil. . . . If ever a youth was cordially admired and hated by his comrades, this one was. No girl could withstand his charms. He "cut out" every boy in the village. When his boat blew up at last, it diffused a tranquil contentment among us such as we had not known for months. But when he came home the next week, alive, renowned, and appeared in church all battered up and bandaged, a shining hero, stared at and wondered over by everybody, it seemed to us that the partiality of Providence for an undeserving reptile had reached a point where it was open to criticism.
What is one effect of the irony in this passage?

A.
It makes fun of the notion that the "cub"-engineer held a popular job but was popular only because of the accident.

B.
It pokes fun at the unexpected outcome of the accident: The "cub"-engineer is now even more desirable.

C.
It exaggerates the appeal of the "cub"-engineer and the effect he has on girls and boys in the village.

D.
It creates humor in that God's favor seems unpredictable and unexplainable to the young boys.

Richard Connell uses personification often in his short story "The Most Dangerous Game." Which line from this excerpt is an example of personification?
"I'll give him a trail to follow," muttered Rainsford, and he struck off from the rude path he had been following into the trackless wilderness. He executed a series of intricate loops; he doubled on his trail again and again, recalling all the lore of the fox hunt, and all the dodges of the fox. Night found him leg-weary, with hands and face lashed by the branches, on a thickly wooded ridge. He knew it would be insane to blunder on through the dark, even if he had the strength. His need for rest was imperative and he thought, "I have played the fox, now I must play the cat of the fable." A big tree with a thick trunk and outspread branches was near by, and, taking care to leave not the slightest mark, he climbed up into the crotch, and, stretching out on one of the broad limbs, after a fashion, rested. Rest brought him new confidence and almost a feeling of security. Even so zealous a hunter as General Zaroff could not trace him there, he told himself; only the devil himself could follow that complicated trail through the jungle after dark. But perhaps the general was a devil--

An apprehensive night crawled slowly by like a wounded snake and sleep did not visit Rainsford, although the silence of a dead world was on the jungle. Toward morning when a dingy gray was varnishing the sky, the cry of some startled bird focused Rainsford's attention in that direction.
Something was coming through the bush, coming slowly, carefully, coming by the same winding way Rainsford had come. He flattened himself down on the limb and, through a screen of leaves almost as thick as tapestry, he watched. . . . That which was approaching was a man.

It was General Zaroff. He made his way along with his eyes fixed in utmost concentration on the ground before him. He paused, almost beneath the tree, dropped to his knees and studied the ground. Rainsford's impulse was to hurl himself down like a panther, but he saw that the general's right hand held something metallic--a small automatic pistol.]
