Read the paragraph from an essay about conservation.
many companies claim to be ‘green,’ but few are practicing true conservation of resources. though e-mails have replaced paper memos, lights use led bulbs, and toilets are a modern ‘low-flow’ variety, waste is rampant. trash cans overflow with recyclables. outlets hum with the recharging of personal electronic devices, and office parking lots boast a shameful number of gas-guzzling trucks that are piloted morning and night by lone commuters too self-absorbed to consider a carpool.
how does the author's word choice affect the tone of the paragraph?

the words green and conservation impart a concerned tone.
the words resources and recyclables impart an academic tone.
the words shameful and self-absorbed impart a critical tone.
the words personal and lone impart a confidential tone.

Which line in this excerpt from the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald contains a simile? about half way between west egg and new york the motor-road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. this is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which screens their obscure operations from your sight.
