Caro is revising her narrative and focusing on her opening paragraph. Captain Bernard braced himself against the ship's sturdy mast. There was no turning back. The storm chasing the pirate's ship through the narrow channel was far more deadly than the dozens of imperial ships waiting for him on the open sea. He advised his small and plucky crew to sail “dead ahead," hoping it wouldn't actually come to that.

How can Caro improve this paragraph to better establish the context of her story?

A.

She could add details that tell who the story’s characters are.

B.

She could add a detail or two about when the story takes place.

C.

She should add more details explaining the what and why of the story.

D.

She should not change anything. The paragraph already tells the who, what, when, where, and why of the story.

What is darrow’s main argument and the claims he makes in this excerpt? a. darrow argues that even if the boys are horrible monsters, their deaths will not solve the problems of society; he claims that society wants the boys to be executed because people enjoy watching public executions. b. he argues that the people who should be held responsible for the crime are leopold’s and loeb’s parents since they neglected their sons; he claims that leopold and loeb were jealous of the boy they killed because he had expensive belongings they could not afford. c. darrow argues that the boys should not face the death penalty; he claims they both suffer from mental illnesses that make them unable to tell the difference between a dream and reality. d. he argues that leopold and loeb, particularly dickie loeb, should not be executed; he claims they were teenagers who didn’t have proper adult guidance, so they are not responsible for what they did.
