Astenographer is tasked with typing a certain letter. how many words long is the letter? it will take two minutes less time to type the letter at an average speed of 80 words per minute than at an average speed of 60 words per minute. it will take 6 minutes to type the first half of the letter at an average speed of 40 words per minute.

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)

showing or having an insensitive and cruel disregard for others. (so basically being heartless)

hope this : )

c is the answer because first she would blush to make the reader wonder why which they find out in the next line.
