What does this excerpt from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens reveal about the character of Ebenezer Scrooge?

“There’s the saucepan that the gruel was in!” cried Scrooge, starting off again, and going round the fireplace. “There’s the door, by which the Ghost of Jacob Marley entered! There’s the window where I saw the wandering Spirits! It’s all right, it’s all true, it all happened. Ha ha ha!”

Really, for a man who had been out of practice for so many years, it was a splendid laugh, a most illustrious laugh. The father of a long, long line of brilliant laughs!

“I don’t know what day of the month it is!” said Scrooge. “I don’t know how long I’ve been among the Spirits. I don’t know anything. I’m quite a baby. Never mind. I don’t care. I’d rather be a baby. Hallo! Whoop! Hallo here!”

Answer choice that were given:

A. Scrooge feels happy to be alive and to have another chance to make things right in his life.

B. Scrooge feels happy and relieved that he has escaped the Christmas ghosts and is back in his house.

C. Scrooge laughs with joy as he realizes that his experience with the Christmas ghosts was only a dream.

D. Scrooge returns home a greedier man after his experiences and doesn’t care if he acts like a miser.

These days, fewer and fewer traditional incandescent lightbulbs are being used in homes. This is because lightbulb technology has improved since incandescent bulbs were developed. Incandescent bulbs work by running electricity through a wire inside the bulb. The wire glows, creating light. However, incandescent bulbs waste a lot of electricity by producing heat rather than light. In the past several years, less wasteful LED lights and compact fluorescent bulbs have become increasingly popular for home use.

Which option best evaluates how well the following summary reflects the original passage? Incandescent bulbs are a great form of technology.

A. The summary is weak because it does not accurately convey the meaning of the passage.

B. The summary is strong because it states the main idea of the passage and the most important supporting detail.

C. The summary is strong because it gives a good overview of the passage without getting into minor details.

D. The summary is weak because it focuses on a supporting detail rather than the main idea of the passage.​

Which sentence most clearly describes the climax in a story.

There is 2 questions answer in complete sentences: 1. What is the central idea of: From Storytelling Book Introduction by Josepha Sherman? 2. Review the quoted words in paragraph 6. How do the words and ideas of the expert add to the author's points about storytelling? HMH.(learning tool for English.) 6th grade.

Story:
1. Once Upon a Time . . .
. . . there was a story. Story openings take many forms: “once there was,” “once there was not,” “once, in the long-ago days,” and many others. But no matter what shape the opening words take, the result is always the same—listeners are hooked.

2. Once a story has begun, there is something deep within the human psyche that must hear what will happen next. The pull of the story is universal. There is no known culture without some form of storytelling, and the craving to know “what comes next” has been felt by every human being, regardless of age, gender, culture, or century.

3. Storytelling is present in many aspects of human life. Stories are told by grandparents, parents, and other family members. Professional storytellers share their tales at fairs, festivals, schools, libraries, and other sites. Stories are integral to the mediums of television, film, opera, and theater, and storytelling sessions sometimes take place in the business world at special meetings. Campfire tales are meant to make campers shiver. And urban legends, contemporary folktales that usually are attributed to a “friend of a friend,” are told and retold. No matter how unlikely the tale may be, the teller invariably insists, “It’s true! ”

Why Tell Stories?
4. The real question may be how can one not tell stories. Every conversation is rife with information-packed stories of what the teller has been doing recently. People share stories they have heard from others, retell stories they have read, and even rehash things they have seen on television. Anyone who chooses to formalize this sharing takes on the role of the “storyteller.”

5. The most wonderful gift of a story is the bonding of a group. Held close under the spell of a story, the group breathes as one. The shared experience softens the edges between individuals and brings everyone closer in the warmth of the moment. Together, the members of the group enter a “story trance.” Storytellers benefit, in turn, as they experience the heartwarming feeling of holding the audience’s attention and nurturing the group by sharing a beloved tale.

6. Many stories also serve the community in a broader sense. All societies use stories to pass on group values. Wrapped in the sweet pill of an entertaining story, a moral goes down easily. Stories also can be useful tools that allow individuals to chastise or expose negative behaviors without overtly speaking the truth. The Liberian storyteller Won-Ldy Paye related how Anansi spider stories have been used to “say without saying” in front of a chief. If the chief has behaved greedily, the storyteller shows Anansi in this incorrect behavior. Everyone knows whom the storyteller is talking about. The chief hears, and he knows, too.

7. Many families draw “catchphrases” from their favorite stories, with which they can quickly refer to a story in the course of their daily lives. A phrase, such as “It doesn’t take long to look at a horseshoe,” can bring family members back to the original story, as well as remind them of the moral of the tale.

8. Communities and families also may wrap their history in stories to remember details of events long past. A moment in time can be preserved by creating a story and telling it a few times. The story format bundles the facts into a neatly tied packet that is more readily stored and retrieved than many separate details.

9. Stories also help to broaden awareness of other cultures. The folktale genre, in particular, reflects many traditions and helps to familiarize people with world cultures.

10. Stories also can be used for educational purposes. Stories can help to develop a child’s literary sensibilities, and listening to tales impresses a sense of story structure into a child’s mind. Stories aid in stretching vocabulary and children who can tell stories often gain the advanced verbal ability and an increased sense of self-worth.

11. Storytelling provides other growth opportunities, as stories help listeners to see through another’s eyes and to share the protagonist’s feelings of anger, fear, or love—all from a safe place. The Austrian-born American writer and child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim explained that stories are important to children because battling difficulties through a story can help them face real-life troubles. Stories provide role models who show us how to face demons and overcome adversity.

12. Perhaps best of all, stories stretch the imagination. The teller takes the listener to distant places where remarkable things happen. And once stretched, an imagination stays stretched.

Read the following text:

In the 1970s, drinking containers for soda and water changed from glass bottles to plastic bottles. Glass bottles were reusable. People bought the bottles, drank the liquid, and returned the empty containers to the store for a refund. The company collected, cleaned, and refilled the glass bottles at bottling plants. In contrast, plastic bottles were made out of Polyethylene terephthalate, making these containers disposable. Consumers bought the containers, drank the soda or water, and threw the plastic containers into the garbage. Unlike glass bottles, this plastic invention was cheap to produce. For every glass bottle, companies could make 20–40 plastic ones. Companies favored the more economic choice, and plastic bottles soon replaced glass bottles.

Passage 1: Excerpt from Will Yellow School Buses Soon Become Rolling Ads?
1 Tight school budgets could soon translate into Missouri school districts’ selling ad space on yellow school buses.



2 Missouri state Rep. T.J. Berry, R-Kearney, says his bill—HB 224—isn’t a cure-all by any stretch. But legalizing ads inside and outside the buses would give school districts one additional way to raise money in these tough times.



3 “Every single school district has had to deal with budget concerns,” Berry said last week. “And generally speaking, the way they have had to deal with those has been cuts or tax increases.”



4 The school bus is something that is already out there and paid for, he said. His bill would permit districts to generate a modest stream of income from their buses.



5 Few question the need for finding additional funds when it comes to educating children, but at least two groups think the school bus exteriors should remain ad-free.



6 “There is no such thing as free money,” said Josh Golin, associate director for the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood. “There are real costs to this: the price of selling out your students to advertisers.”



7 Students don’t need the first and last message they receive from their schools each day to be advertisements, Golin said. Students boarding a bus are certainly a captive audience.



8 The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services opposes advertising on safety grounds. Obscuring the recognizable school-bus yellow exterior with ads and distracting other drivers “present a safety problem around school buses that cannot be ignored,” the group said in its position paper.



9 National studies have shown that anything that diverts a driver’s attention from the road can pose a hazard, opponents say.



10 “And a big yellow bus doesn’t distract?” Berry asked.



11 Several years ago in Indiana, a Department of Education lawyer suggested that allowing advertisements on buses would invite First Amendment challenges by spurned advertisers, the group noted.



12 Berry said the bill would limit the types of advertising that would be allowed.



13 The regulations would prohibit ads that contain obscene or sexual material, or messages associated with gambling, tobacco products, alcohol, and political campaigns or causes. The ads could not promote drug use or “any illegal activity or antisocial behavior.” They can’t contain “harmful, discriminatory, false, misleading or deceptive” messages.



14 “There are a lot of safeguards being built in,” he said.



15 Berry emphasized that the space reserved for the ads would be “very limited,” meaning toward the back of the bus.



16 By 2012, nine states—Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and Utah—permitted advertising on the exterior of school buses, according to the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. Several, including Missouri, considered it last year.



17 The bill made it out of the Missouri House last year but did not clear the Senate, Berry said. He acknowledged that the idea was “very controversial.”
