Select the correct text in the passage. Which two parts of the story show that the Moon wishes he could be different?
excerpt adapted from How the Moon Became Beautiful
One day, the Moon said, "I do not like to be the Moon. I wish I were a star or a flower, but alas! I am only the Moon and no one likes me. If
I could only be a flower and grow in a garden, people would come to see me, but I am only the Moon and no one honors me."
The stars answered and said, "We cannot help you. We do our duty, we work all day and twinkle in the dark night to make the skies more
beautiful. But that is all we can do," they added, as they smiled coldly at the sorrowful Moon.
Then the flowers smiled sweetly and said, "We do not know how we can help you. We've lived always in one place-in a garden near the
most kindhearted maiden in all the world. As she is kind to everyone, we will tell her about you. Her name is Tseh-N'io."
Still the Moon was sad, so one evening he went to see Tseh-N'io, and when he saw her he loved her at once. He said, "Your face is very
pleasant. I wish that my face would be as your face. Tell me, how did you come to be so kind?"
"I have always lived with those who were gentle and happy, and I believe that is the cause of goodness," answered Tseh-N'io.
And so, the Moon went every night to see her and their friendship grew stronger, and he wished more and more to be near her always.

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds.beyond the pit stood the little wedge of people with the white flag at its apex, arrested by these phenomena, a little knot of small vertical black shapes upon the black ground. as the green smoke arose, their faces flashed out pallid green, and faded again as it vanished. then slowly the hissing passed into a humming, into a long, loud, droning noise. slowly a humped shape rose out of the pit, and the ghost of a beam of light seemed to flicker out from it.forthwith flashes of actual flame, a bright glare leaping from one to another, sprang from the scattered group of men. it was as if some invisible jet impinged upon them and flashed into white flame. it was as if each man were suddenly and momentarily turned to fire.then, by the light of their own destruction, i saw them staggering and falling, and their supporters turning to run.which options accurately describe how the author develops the plot in the excerpt? (select all that apply.)the war of the worldsthe narrator does not react at first as he watches the men with the flag and hears the sounds in the pit. his inaction decreases the tension in the plot because the narrator is simply standing by.the narrator does not react at first as he watches the men with the flag and hears the sounds in the pit. his inaction keeps the tension steadily increasing as the narrator comes to realize the men are being killed.the narrator is distracted by his own observations of the men with the white flag and the humming sound, so he doesn't react as quickly as he should when the men are killed, thus extending the tension in the plot.the narrator is attentive to the men with the white flag and the humming sound, so he immediately understands what has happened when the men are killed, increasing the tension in the plot.
