Read the excerpt from section 2 of the espionage act, which was enacted by the congress of the united states on june 15, 1917. section 2 whoever, with intent or reason to believe that it is to be used to the injury or the united states or to the advantage of a foreign nation, communicated, delivers, or transmits, or attempts to, or aids, or induces another to, communicate, deliver or transmit, to any foreign government, or to any faction or party or military or naval force within a foreign country, whether recognized or unrecognized by the united states, or to any representative, officer, agent, employee, subject, or citizen thereof, either directly or indirectly and document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blue print, plan, map, model, note, instrument, appliance, or information relating to the national defence, shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than twenty years. how does this excerpt relate to the plot of the the inheritors? it creates a shift in the mood, which was initially lighthearted, to one that is somber and tense. it characterizes emil, who is the first to mention the act, as one who exaggerates and worries unnecessarily. it establishes the setting by referring to acts of espionage that were only committed during certain periods in history. it strengthens the conflict by revealing the severity of the punishments that one convicted of spying will face.

This excerpt relates to the plot of "The Inheritors" in the way that it strengthens the conflict by revealing the severity of the punishments that one convicted of spying will face by mentioning specifically what will happen (at most 20 years) if they do something specified in the excerpt, which in this case is spying.

The answer is:

It creates a shift in the mood, which was initially lighthearted, to one that is somber and tense.

The inheritors is a novel that narrates the story of neanderthals and its encounter with a group of homo sapiens, that thinks of them as uncivilized and savage.

thats exactly the right answer

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
