Which statement best evaluates the author's use of dialogue to enhance the narrative?
"Dude, I've never seen this many stars!" Jaden's gaze was locked on
the night sky above him.
"See, camping does have its rewards." Robbie sat down on a rock
covered with damp moss.
"I'd have done anything to get away after this horrible week," said
Jaden. "I still can't believe I missed that shot in Thursday's game. We'd
be playing in the finals right now if I'd done my job." Jaden sat down
with a thud.
"Hey, it takes more than just one star to light up the sky. We all should
have hit our shots - not just you." Just as Robbie finished his
sentence, a brilliant flash flew across the sky and disappeared.
"Good point, man. I guess even the stars agree."

B). The dialogue is effective because it underscores the spiritual tone created by the view of the stars.

Explanation:

The second statement most aptly examines how the author employs dialogue in the given narrative effectively by stating how it assists in 'highlighting the divine mood developed by the amazing view of the stars.' The dialogue helps the readers in relating the two ideas of 'requiring many stars to brighten the sky' and 'requiring every player to perform to win the game.' It not only visualizing or sensing the idea but also connect to the message/thought that the author aims to convey through the narrative. Thus, they will evoke the desired response and hence, option B is the correct answer.

x=4, y=4

step-by-step explanation:

y=2x-4;

x+2y=12

we can use substitution since the first equation is solved for y

where ever you see y in the second equation, replace it with 2x-4

x + 2(2x-4) = 12

distribute the 2

x+4x-8 = 12

combine like terms

5x-8=12

add 8 to each side

5x-8+8=12+8

5x=20

divide by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x =4

we still need to solve for y

y = 2x-4

we know x =4

y = 2(4) -4

y = 8-4

y=4
