2. The writer of "Reality Check" (pages 60–61) states that when more people can name the cast of a reality show than can name their own state's senators,
our society is in big trouble." Do you agree with this viewpoint? In a brief
essay, support your opinion with evidence and examples from your studies,
the reading (refer to pages 60-61), or personal experience. Write at least
three paragraphs, and use three or more words from this Unit.​

- "the die is cast; i have consented to return if we are not destroyed. thus are my hopes blasted by cowardice and indecision; i come back ignorant and disappointed. it requires more philosophy than i possess to bear this injustice with patience. i have lost my hopes of utility and glory; i have lost my friend."

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
