Read the excerpt from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza. Hanging from a cord attached to the middle of the ceiling there was an electric bulb, low enough for an adult to reach and turn the black switch. I realized that this was our own electric light for us to turn on and off as we pleased. I pushed a chair under it and after some instruction from my mother proceeded to create lightning in the room by turning the switch as fast as I could. Which effective technique does the author mainly use to write this excerpt? A) clear point of view
B) interesting dialogue
C) detailed action
D) logical sequencing

C

Explanation:

This is English. It allows for an appreciation for the unusual. Aren't you impressed with a young boy inventing a way to be a young boy? He was not content to just turn on and turn off the switch. After taking instruction from his mother, he created a variation. Lightning. How many times have all of us turned on a light, and never once thought of a variation as this kid did?

You could pick interesting dialog, but there isn't any.

You could pick logical sequencing and I think that's the second best answer. He didn't get creative until he heard his mother's instruction.

And there really is a clear point of view. We're seeing this as a memory.

But I think the best answer is detailed action. It needs the sequencing and the point of view, but the action is what stays with us.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
