Read these excerpts from Fever 1793 and The Summer of the Pestilence.

Fever 1793

He picked up a broadsheet and read:

"On advice from the College of Physicians:

1. All persons should avoid those that are infected.

2. The homes of the sick should be marked.

3. Sick people should be placed in the eh center of large airy rooms without curtains and should be kept clean.

4. We must supply a hospital for the poor.

5. All bell tolling should cease immediately.

6. The dead should be buried privately."

The Summer of the Pestilence

[The panic] is owing mainly, however, I think, to the quarantine regulations, by which our communication with all the cities and towns around us, and even with some of the counties to which our citizens would naturally flee, has been cut off. . . .

New York took the lead in this matter, issuing her quarantine order on the 30th of July. Since then, almost every mail has brought us the information that one place after another—Suffolk, Richmond, Petersburg, Welden, Hampton, Washington, Baltimore—has shut us out.

What is different in the way the excerpts introduce the regulations?

The fictional excerpt is shorter than the nonfictional excerpt.
The fictional excerpt has a darker tone than the nonfictional excerpt.
The fictional excerpt shows the regulations through a written notice. The nonfictional excerpt describes the reaction to the regulations.
The fictional excerpt tells only some of the regulations. The nonfictional excerpt describes all of the regulations. PLEASE HELP
