Read the excerpt from "The Day the Gulls Went Crazy".


Clearly, "bird brains" are more complicated than we think. And perhaps, we humans aren't so smart after all. That's something to think about next time you watch a bird. And if you see some gulls, think twice before you disturb them. They just might remember your face. And as Larry can tell you, they dive-bomb with missile-like accuracy.


Which statement best explains how the passage supports the author's purpose?


A. The purpose is to inform; it explains how people can safely interact with gulls.


B. The purpose is to entertain; the author jokes that gulls will take revenge if people bother them.


C. The purpose is to question; the author doubts gulls can really memorize what people look like.


D. The purpose is to persuade; the author wants to prove that gulls are the most intelligent of birds.

She has a really bad feeling about this but still continues on the path. At the end of the trail, an old lady offers to help but little does she know the old lady is actually a kidnapper. the old lady takes the girl to her home and gives her a room to stay in. the girl looks around in the room when she stumbles across a dead body under the bed. suddenly she realizes this is not you sweet old lady but really the devil in disguise. The girl can't escape because the window is locked so later that night she puts the body on top of the bed making it a decoy. she waits under the bed. sure enough, the lady is back and viciously stabs the dead body multiple times. when the lady leaves the girl runs out of the house lucky and glad to make it out alive. She walks down the main road to find a bustling city, she finds a police station and explains what happens, the next day they arrest the old lady and return her[the girl] home.

C: It can provide lots of specific details about the event.

D:It can show the immediate reactions of the people involved.

Answers

A: It can reflect on the long-term impact of
the event.

because it would be able to include things that happened in the 50 years after the event had occurred.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

An article written a year after would only have information on the effects of the event a year later and nothing beyond that, but an article written decades later would probably have more info on the long term effects of the event. For example what happened on 9/11, a year after the collapse of the towers there probably weren't that many people who had chronic diseases from the dust inhaled at Ground Zero, but years later more and more people found out they had some sort f long term effect from inhaling that dust years ago.

cAs he thought about the hieroglyphs in Thothmes' and Ramesses' names, Champollion realized their significance. It went far beyond the names themselves and gave him an insight into the entire system of hieroglyphic writing. For the names revealed that hieroglyphs were not simply representations of sounds. Nor did they have an exclusively symbolic meaning, as Thomas Young and other scholars had long believed. Instead, they were a combination of the two.
