Read the excerpt from "children of the drug wars." the united nations high commissioner for refugees recently interviewed 404 children who had arrived in the united states from honduras, el salvador, guatemala and mexico; 58 percent said their primary reason for leaving was violence. (a similar survey in 2006, of central american children coming into mexico, found that only 13 percent were fleeing violence.) they aren’t just going to the united states: less conflicted countries in central america had a 712 percent increase in asylum claims between 2008 and 2013. read the excerpt from enrique’s journey. enrique allows himself to doze only on trains farther north, where the gangsters no longer control the tops of the trains. there, he jams his body into the crevice on top of a hopper, next to the trapdoors used to fill the car. or he waits until the train rounds a curve, giving him a good view of all of the cars. he spots a boxcar with its door open. when the train slows, he jumps off and races to the boxcar, jumping inside for a quick nap. what technique does the author use in each excerpt to support her purpose? the first excerpt uses narrative techniques, and the second excerpt uses quotations. the first excerpt uses facts and statistics, and the second excerpt is told as a story. the first excerpt relies on emotional words, and the second excerpt uses long explanations. the first excerpt relies on strong words, and the second excerpt is told from a first-person point of view.

The correct answer is B) The first excerpt uses facts and statistics and the second excerpt is told as a story.

We can clearly appreciate how despite both excerpts have the same theme they relay the information in different ways. The first excerpt is clearly an article about Kids from Honduras who were leaving their country due to violence and the author uses statistics to prove his/her point whereas the second one is an excerpt from 'Entrique's Journey' that's related to the refugee situation..

The correct answer is B) The first excerpt uses facts and statistics and the second excerpt is told as a story.

Explanation:

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.
