Question 2 Part B: Select a detail from the text which supports this conclusion.

Question 2 options:

“And to that society of first names and dead puppy loves Jim was an outsider — a running mate of poor whites.”

“But that crowd had grown up together into a tight little set as gradually as the girls’ dresses had lengthened inch by inch, as definitely as the boys’ trousers had dropped suddenly to their ankles.”

“‘Daggone!’ he muttered, half aloud.”

“Most of the men knew him, condescendingly; he tipped his hat to three or four girls. That was all.”

“They would all be there — the old crowd, the crowd to which, by right of the white house, sold long since, and the portrait of the officer in gray over the mantel, Jim should have belonged.”

Well, was that the conclusion on the bottom? I'm just going to say that maybe it was the 4th excerpt.

sorry forgo thte passage

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
