Read this other excerpt from the story. “Part of what I want to tell you is what it is like to be young in New York, how six months can become eight years with the deceptive ease of a film dissolve, for that is how those years appear to me now, in a long sequence of sentimental dissolves and old-fashioned trick shots—the Seagram Building fountains dissolve into snowflakes, I enter a revolving door at twenty and come out a good deal older, and on a different street.” How does Joan Didion's extended metaphor of comparing her time in New York to a movie affect the tone of this excerpt?

(Wrong) It creates a romantic, reverential tone as Didion describes snapshots of her greatest triumphs in New York.

It creates a nostalgic, meditative tone as Didion reflects on how quickly her time in New York seemed to pass.

It creates a flippant, glib tone so Didion can convey how superficial and thoughtless she was when she lived in New York.

Joan Didion's use of extended metaphor comparing her time in New York to a movie affects the tone of the excerpt because it creates a nostalgic, meditative tone as Didion reflects on how quickly her time in New York seemed to pass. (option B)

In literature, tone refers to the way an author or a narrator approaches a certain topic, that is, her attitude towards it. In the excerpt, Didion's tone is one of nostalgia, that is, of sentimental memory.

She uses metaphor to compare her experience to that of a movie character to show how her time in New York felt surreal to her. All of a sudden, years seemed to have gone by. Yet, she remembers that time with feeling and yearning.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.

There is scientific research to back up the idea that school should start later for middle and high school students. Beginning in their adolescent years, students' sleep patterns change because they become more focused in the evening and stay up later. This requires that they sleep later in the morning since, according to research, teenagers need 8–10 hours of sleep. Not getting enough sleep can lead to health risks, but it also has consequences for teenagers and their academics. Students who do not get enough sleep have a harder time staying alert and remaining focused in class, which can lead to poorer grades. Furthermore, lack of sleep can lead to increased stress levels and prevent students from retaining information, leading to problem-solving troubles. Teenagers who do not get enough sleep suffer from poor academic performance. Physical problems, such as lack of physical alertness, can also be the result of teenagers not getting adequate sleep. Research also shows that students who do not get enough sleep can be overweight. While many middle and high schools begin before 8:30, they should modify their schedules. Experts suggest that these schools begin no earlier than 8:30 in the morning. This allows for students to sleep later in the morning, which matches the scientifically proven sleep cycles of teenagers. Question: Which sentence would be the best conclusion to the essay? a The needs of students should not be the driving force behind schools modifying schedules. b Allowing students to sleep in will benefit schools and later start times should be put in place. c For students to be successful, schools should understand the importance of students' physical needs. d Middle and high school students can’t stay focused if they don’t have enough sleep.

I glanced at my watch to become so fixated on the time, it read 4:43pm August 23rd 2025. Being an ex military officer you see a part of the world not many get to see, the violent cold nature of battle. No one on the battlefield are really enemies, we are just pitted against each other, in the end we are just doing our job so that no one else carries that burden. We pity our enemies as they cry for help, the screams drive most insane but the ones that aren't shaken take it the worst. I hate war. In this world dictated by a paper note, you can get anything if you have enough money. Money creates greed and greed breeds hate therefore relationships shatter and nations fall into chaos. Well that's what got us into this mess 3 years ago when WW3 started with Ukraine and Russia, 3 years ago that was, and they managed to drag every nation into it. Little did anyone know a progessive bomb was created, which couldnt be disarmed and only grows in power, doubling every year. A weapon which gives full control over the world to one nation, to the individual who controls it. A threat which endangered every living being on the pale blue dot called Earth. The world bomb it was called, currently able to incinerate half the planet in an instant, soon to be capable of wiping 8 billion people off the planet. One would now say there's nothing we can do, yet as I stand before the fuse only one answer seemed to cross my mind. How could anything be more important than keeping humanity from being totally wiped out? You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain they said. As I pulled the fuse to be engulfed by the white light the words leave my mouth, “So, was I a hero or a villain”
I'm the same as you i didn't have a choice (not sure if i should add this last line)

A top secret nuclear weapon developed by Russia which gives control over the world to one nation, to the individual who controls it. Only a select few know of it, hidden from the rest of the world, it would look like a repercussion of war as everyone tries to hide the truth.
