In the selection from Silent Spring, who or what is responsible for the white powder that has fallen on the town and its surroundings? Question 3 options: an accumulation of fallout from nuclear testing blossoms from fruit trees growing nearby a sudden snowstorm in early spring humans living in or near the town

Humans living in or near the town.

Explanation:

Rachel Carson's short fairytale "A Fable For Tomorrow" is one of her collection of stories in her book "Silent Spring". This fable pictures a town full of life that suddenly changes to a deserted town after numerous maladies and illnesses overtook it.

Though the story started off with a quaint, nice, and peaceful town, it slowly progresses into a deserted, imaginary town. This was because of the "a white granular powder [that] had fallen like snow upon the roofs and the lawns, the fields, and streams." Though Carson admits in the end that this is no real story of any town, in particular, it still can be a possibility in many parts of America. And the source of this "white powder" is, as Carson wants to point out, the frequent use of pesticides and chemicals by humans.

Thus, the correct answer is the last option.

explanation:

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people
