Okay, so that’s not exactly true. i was actually born with too much cerebral spinal fluid inside my skull. but cerebral spinal fluid is just the doctors’ fancy way of saying brain grease. and brain grease works inside the lobes like car grease works inside an engine. it keeps things running smooth and fast. but weirdo me, i was born with too much grease inside my skull, and it got all thick and muddy and disgusting, and it only mucked up the works. my thinking and breathing and living engine slowed down and flooded. which description in the passage above indicates that the passage has been written to engage the reader? i. and brain grease works inside the loves like car grease works inside an engine ii. but weirdo me, i was born with too much grease inside my skull, and it got all thick and muddy and iii. my thinking and breathing and living engine slowed down and flooded

All 3 options:

I. And brain grease works inside the loves like car grease works inside an engine

II. But weirdo me, I was born with too much grease inside my skull, and it got all thick and muddy and disgusting

III. My thinking and breathing and living engine slowed down and flooded

All 3 options are written to engage the reader. They all compare the speaker's brain to a car engine. He uses the extended metaphor to make it easier for the readers to understand the effects of being "born with too much cerebral spinal fluid". The book is geared towards a young adult audience. The phrase "cerebral spinal fluid" seems too sophisticated and difficult for his target audience to understand so he breaks it down to a way that he feels his readers would better understand.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
