Ladies and gentlemen of the city council, I'm here at City Hall today to implore you to cancel your plans to build a new landfill along Highway 128. I know you think that road is off in the country where no one will see it, but my wife and I drive down Highway 128 every day to get to Path's Crossing. There are 10 homes in that neighborhood, and we will all be affected by this decision. We know that our property values will plummet. Who would want to buy a house that sits down the road from a smelly landfill? I'm asking you to reconsider the proposed plans and look for a different location. Why did the speaker use a rhetorical question in his speech? A. to draw a comparison B. to criticize the city council C. to describe a scene D. to emphasize his point

Answer: B. to criticize the city council

D. It may represent the colosseum American literature came to producing an analog for “Ulysses,” which influenced it deeply - each in its way is a provincial Modernist novel about a young man trying to awaken from history - and like “Ulysses,” it lives as a book more praised than read, or more esteemed than enjoyed.

Excerpt from To Build a Fire This passage is an excerpt from Jack London's famous short story describing the experience of a man hiking in the middle of an extremely cold winter morning. With his faithful companion a husky dog, the man and the dog walk through the winter morning hoping to meet his associates later that day. All this the man knew. The old–timer on Sulphur Creek had told him about it the previous fall, and now he was appreciating the advice. Already all sensation had gone out of his feet. To build the fire he had been forced to remove his mittens, and the fingers had quickly gone numb. His pace of four miles an hour had kept his heart pumping blood to the surface of his body and to all the extremities. But the instant he stopped, the action of the pump eased down. The cold of space smote the unprotected tip of the planet, and he, being on that unprotected tip, received the full force of the blow. The blood of his body recoiled before it. The blood was alive, like the dog, and like the dog it wanted to hide away and cover itself up from the fearful cold. So long as he walked four miles an hour, he pumped that blood, willy–nilly, to the surface; but now it ebbed away and sank down into the recesses of his body. The extremities were the first to feel its absence. His wet feet froze the faster, and his exposed fingers numbed the faster, though they had not yet begun to freeze. Nose and cheeks were already freezing, while the skin of all his body chilled as it lost its blood. But he was safe. Toes and nose and cheeks would be only touched by the frost, for the fire was beginning to burn with strength. He was feeding it with twigs the size of his finger. In another minute he would be able to feed it with branches the size of his wrist, and then he could remove his wet foot–gear, and, while it dried, he could keep his naked feet warm by the fire, rubbing them at first, of course, with snow. The fire was a success. He was safe. He remembered the advice of the old–timer on Sulphur Creek, and smiled. The
