Summarize this: this passage is about an emperor that just wants his empire to be in good hands when picking a successor. the emperor will determine the right successor by testing their capabilities by giving each of them a seed to grow, which will be returned next year with what they have grown. a young man named ling saw no sign of life after caring for the plant for three weeks. however, the other young people in the empire boasted of their seeds’ progress. when the day arrived to bring the plants back for inspection, ling had no choice but to go empty-handed. the emperor chose ling to be the successor because llttle did they know that the emperor boiled the seeds earlier, so that they would never grow. it’s clear that when the seeds would not grow, you substituted a different seed for the one the emperor gave you. ling was the only one with the courage to be honest, thus he is the brand-new emperor.

Read the excerpt from hemingway’s a farewell to arms. we parked the cars beyond the brickyard. the ovens and some deep holes had been equipped as dressing stations. there were three doctors that i knew. i talked with the major and learned that when it should start and our cars should be loaded we would drive them back along the screened road and up to the main road along the ridge where there would be a post and other cars to clear them. which best describes hemingway’s style of writing in the excerpt? straightforward and simple, while still relating a lot of information to the reader long-winded and offering far too much information to the reader overly complicated, making it difficult to interpret and understand the text effortless and uncomplicated, with little meaning for the reader to interpret
