Read the following passage and then answer the question. (1) when i was young, my mother taught me one of the most important lessons i have learned in my life: never sacrifice comfort for fashion. (2) that’s not to say my mother didn’t know how to dress—but there were two things you could never accuse her of not having, even if the ones she had wouldn’t turn any heads on a fashion runway: comfortable shoes and a warm coat. (3) a puffy hat, one that covers the ears, not just the top of the head, is something even the most fashionable person should never be caught without. (4) “a sharp pair of high heels attracts lots of attention,” she would say, pausing dramatically for ”and back pain.” (5) she had a similar line about wearing chic coats during snowstorms. (6) my mom might not have gotten many stares for her sense of style, but, as she used to say, “i’m not looking to make friends with people’s eyes.” choose the sentence from the text above that does not fit with the organization. question 1 options: (1) when i was young, my mother taught me one of the most important lessons i have learned in my life: never sacrifice comfort for fashion.

Read the excerpt from the war of the worlds, in which the crowd begins to disperse just before the first martian exits the cylinder. when i returned to the common the sun was setting. scattered groups were hurrying from the direction of woking, and one or two persons were returning. the crowd about the pit had increased, and stood out black against the lemon yellow of the sky—a couple of hundred people, perhaps. there were raised voices, and some sort of struggle appeared to be going on about the pit. strange imaginings passed through my mind. as i drew nearer i heard stent's voice: "keep back! keep back! "a boy came running towards me."it's a-movin'," he said to me as he passed; 'a-screwin' and a-screwin' out. i don't like it. i'm a-goin' 'ome, i am."what options accurately depict the impact of the boy's words on pacing within the excerpt?
