2) Identify the central idea Ackerman presents at the very beginning of the essay
(you can quote the line). How does she support this idea?

search it up on google or think from your brain make it work harder.

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.)

i do not see anyy sentence you are asking for me to read

did you ever figure it out?
