Passage 1 The Galapagos Islands are the only places in the world with a combination of large, sea-going lizards, seabirds that can’t fly, and turtles the size of desks. Unsustainable fishing practices and a lack of well-managed protected areas have driven these island ecosystems to the edge of collapse and threaten the Galapagos’ irreplaceable plants and animals. In collaboration with local communities in Chile, Peru, and Ecuador, the Nature Conservancy is implementing new, sustainable fisheries programs and working to protect over 30 million acres of Pacific marine habitat in the region. Their progress is inspiring.

Passage 2

Manhattan Island is a part of New York City. It teems with people, pets, traffic, towering skyscrapers and 24-hour noise. A visitor only has to go a few blocks before recognizing famous landmarks, like the Guggenheim Museum or the stately lions guarding the entrance to the public library. The island, which looks out over the Atlantic Ocean, is home to Broadway and Wall Street. As the center of the financial and entertainment industries, it contains intoxicating promises of fame and fortune and attracts many people year after year, though few really make it to the top. Called the “Big Apple,” New York City is also known as the “Asphalt Jungle” due to its highly competitive nature. Anyone who can survive on this island can make it almost anywhere.

How do these two passages differ?
A.
One is about endangered turtles, while the other is about fierce competition.
B.
One is about islands in the Pacific, while the other is about an island in the Atlantic.
C.
One is set on Wall Street, while the other is set in a remote jungle.
D.
One is written for people who like to travel, while the other is written for business people.

Need how does black hawk’s rhetoric in this excerpt advance his viewpoint that his cultural experience has fueled in him great animosity for white men? the white men despise the indians, and drive them from their homes. but the indians are not deceitful. the white men speak bad of the indian, and look at him spitefully. but the indian does not tell lies; indians do not steal. a-he creates an extended metaphor to suggest he has a thorough understanding of white men. b-he uses alliteration to emphasize the morals and values of the indians. c-he employs personification to capture the confusion he feels when dealing with white men. d-he contrasts the image of white men driving indians from their homes with examples of the admirable conduct of indians.
