Last june 24th, my best friend of 24 years died of cancer. two nights before she died, i spent about an hour with her—just the two of us. her family, exhausted, had gone home, and i sat next to her hospital bed. i just wanted to be there. the last words i ever heard her say were, "what day is it? " i turned to the calendar on the wall and replied, "it’s june 22, 1998." she just nodded her head and went back to sleep. i’ve thought about that question of hers a lot since then. she taught me many things over the years. yes, she was a school teacher as well, but of all the many words of good advice which still echo in my head, those particular words have given me the most to think about. what day is it? it is today. this is my final challenge to you before you graduate. right now you have this moment, and it will never come again. others will follow, but this one will only be here once. for which of the following audiences is a passage of this style and format appropriate? choose 1 answera. high school seniorsb. high school teachersc. high school administratorsd. high school students' parents

A . High school seniors , this would be my best guess.

the civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the united states. more than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. the fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. the wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. they all should have asked for better care. william hammond, the surgeon general of the union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. if people do not accept hammond as the most important person from the civil war, they have no understanding of the war.
