What evidence from the radio broadcast War of the Worlds supports the
theme that human vanity can cause problems?
O
A. PHILLIPS: Can you tell us the meaning of that scraping noise
inside the thing?
PIERSON: Possibly the unequal cooling of its surface.
O
B. PHILLIPS: Good heavens, something's wriggling out of the shadow
like a gray snake. Now it's another one, and another. They look like
tentacles to me. There, I can see the thing's body. It's large, large
as a bear and it glistens like wet leather.
C. PIERSON: I can give you no authoritative information - either as
to their nature, their origin, or their purposes here on earth. Of their
destructive instrument I might venture some conjectural
explanation. For want of a better term, I shall refer to the
mysterious weapon as a heat ray.
D. PHILLIPS: Then you're quite convinced as a scientist that living
intelligence as we know it does not exist on Mars?
PIERSON: I'd say the chances against it are a thousand to one!

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
