Read this passage: it is quite true that the flooding of glen canyon has opened up to the motorboat explorer parts of side canyons that formerly could be reached only by people able to walk. but the sum total of terrain visible to the eye and touchable by hand and foot has been greatly diminished, not increased. because of the dam the river is gone, the inner canyon is gone, the best parts of the numerous side canyons are gone - all hidden beneath hundreds of feet polluted water, accumulating silt, and mounting tons of trash. this portion of glen canyon - and who can estimate how many cubic miles were lost - is no longer accessible to anybody. (except scuba divers.) and this, do not forget, was the most valuable part of glen canyon, richest in scenery, archaeology, history, flora and fauna. in this passage from "the dam-nation of a canyon," what type of bias is the author displaying?

Which excerpt from the awakening best highlights the elation edna feels when she thinks of robert? the morning was full of sunlight and hope. edna could see before her no denial—only the promise of excessive joy. she lay in bed awake, with bright eyes full of speculation. “he loves you, poor fool.” he would come to her in the afternoon or evening, sit and roll his cigarette, talk a little, and go away as he had done the night before. but how delicious it would be to have him there with her! robert did not come that day. she was keenly disappointed. he did not come the following day, nor the next. each morning she awoke with hope, and each night she was a prey to despondency. his horses were full of mettle, and even a little unmanageable. she liked the rapid gait at which they spun along, and the quick, sharp sound of the horses' hoofs on the hard road.

How is the speaker's writing assignment in "theme for english b" affected by his setting in place and time? the speaker focuses more on his fascination with music than on the core of the assignment. the speaker reflects that he has nothing in common with his instructor, who will therefore not understand his essay. the speaker has trouble with the assignment because he questions what is true about his own identity.
