PART A: How has the public perception of cancer and those diagnosed with it changed over the years? A.
The public is now more aware of cancer and considers those diagnosed as "victims."
B.
There is a greater public discourse now about cancer, so what was once considered rare is now thought of as common and less harmful.
C.
Because survival is increasing, the public perception of those diagnosed with cancer has changed from "victim" to "survivor."
D.
Studies are learning more every day about cancer and the experiences of cancer survivors; this information is slowly being spread to the public.

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.

cause they were to dumb to get their college education to become a real   : )

the author wants to draw the reader deeper into the experiences.
