d. almost

The word that is an example of Schlosser's use of transitions in Fast Food Nation is "however".

Explanation:

The word "however" can be used as a transition word like many others when this is collocated between two simple sentences to create a compound one, generating precisely the effect of transition. In this sentence from "Fast Food Nation", "however" connects "Salmonella has been almost entirely eliminated from Swedish and Dutch eggs" and "...more than half a million people become ill after eating eggs...", here however is used as a transition word that also expresses contrast.

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
