What is the text structure of the following paragraph? The chief and immediate cause of the Civil War was slavery. Southern states, including the 11 states that
formed the Confederacy, depended on slavery to support their economy. Southerners used slave labor to
produce crops, especially cotton. Although slavery was illegal in the Northern states, only a small proportion
of Northerners actively opposed it. The main debate between the North and the South on the eve of the war
was whether slavery should be permitted in the Western territories recently acquired during the Mexican War
(1846-1848), including New Mexico, part of California, and Utah. Opponents of slavery were concerned
about its expansion, in part because they did not want to compete against slave labor.
a. narrative
b. expository
C. descriptive

Announcer two: ladies and gentlemen, following on the news given in our bulletin a moment ago, the government meteorological bureau has requested the large observatories of the country to keep an astronomical watch on any further disturbances occurring on the planet mars. due to the unusual nature of this occurrence, we have arranged an interview with noted astronomer professor pierson, who will give us his views on the event. in a few moments we will take you to the princeton observatory at princeton, new jersey. we return you until then to the music of ramón raquello and his orchestra. the passage is from the transcript of the radio adaptation of the war of the worlds by h. g. wells. instead of including expert interviews, h. g. wells uses a narrator to tell about an alien invasion that occurred a few years earlier. by including expert interviews, how does the radio broadcast change the story most effectively? o. a. it puts the story in the past tense, increasing its personal tone. o o b. it makes the broadcast sound more like a fictional story. o o c. it makes the broadcast sound like a news report. o d. it makes the story sound less believable by changing who presents the story's details.
