Read the following paragraph and answer the question that follows. [1] "a tiger dies and leaves a skin. [2] a man dies and leaves a name." [3] this ancient chinese proverb illustrates the fundamental quality of man that distinguishes him from the animals--the power to think and reason. [4] he can decide what his future will hold. in the molding and shaping of his life, man exerts an influence on all whom he encounters. [5] he has the ability to choose the type of influence he will have. [6] a tiger, unlike a man, has no control over either his environment or his destiny. [7] though he is a majestic animal that prowls the jungle with pride and assurance, terrorizing both man and beast, his actions are governed only by the laws of nature. [8] his death leaves the world unchanged; he exerts no lasting influence. [9] when a man dies, however, he may continue to influence others through his accomplished goals and through the traits and ideas he has passed on. which of the following generalizations is justified based on the facts given in the preceding paragraph? the author believes one person can make a difference. tigers are a menace. man has the ability to reason.

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds, in which the crowd begins to disperse just before the first martian exits the cylinder.when i returned to the common the sun was setting. scattered groups were hurrying from the direction of woking, and one or two persons were returning. the crowd about the pit had increased, and stood out black against the lemon yellow of the sky—a couple of hundred people, perhaps. there were raised voices, and some sort of struggle appeared to be going on about the pit. strange imaginings passed through my mind. as i drew nearer i heard stent's voice: "keep back! keep back! "a boy came running towards me."it's a-movin'," he said to me as he passed; 'a-screwin' and a-screwin' out. i don't like it. i'm a-goin' 'ome, i am."what options accurately depict the impact of the boy's words on pacing within the excerpt? (select all that apply.)the war of the worldsthe setting is in england, so the boy's words provide the reader with the dialect of the area. even though that slows down the plot, the boy's words contain important information.the plot's forward movement is slow at the beginning of the excerpt because there is little action. the boy's words increase the tension and counteract that lag.the narrator is not close enough to see clearly into the pit, so the boy's words provide the narrator with the information he needs, which moves the plot forward.the boy's words serve to speed up the pacing of the plot because, as he is talking to the narrator, he is running past him to get away.the narrator is not close enough to see clearly into the pit, so the boy's words provide the narrator with the information he needs, which moves the plot forward.wrong? the boy's words serve to speed up the pacing of the plot because, as he is talking to the narrator, he is running past him to get away.
