Can someone help me with number 1 and 2 thank you.

1. I believe it is a non-fiction piece because of the use of personification. For example Lucy the whale ask questions and has understandable dialogue. This would not be possible in real life.

2. That you should be happy with the uniqueness that you are born with, and not try to be like other people. You will never be anyone other than yourself; so when you try to achieve what others have, it can lead you to unhappiness as shown by Lucy the whale.

the correct answer is:

this is an example of the writer telling through description rather than showing through dialogue.

sometimes writers like to explain explicitely what's happening instead of adding dialogues of the situations., which is the case in this passage,

question: select the word from the list that best fits the definition tables and charts comparing the government from five different states.

answer: appendix

hope this , and have a great day. c;
