Read the excerpt from A Farewell to Arms
The major asked me to have a drink with him and two other officers. We drank rum and it was very friendly. Outside it
was getting dark. I asked what time the attack was to be and they said as soon as it was dark. I went back to the
drivers. They were sitting in the dugout talking and when I came in they stopped. I gave them each a package of
cigarettes, Macedonias, loosely packed cigarettes that spilled tobacco and needed to have the ends twisted before
you smoked them. Manera lit his lighter and passed it around. The lighter was shaped like a Fiat radiator. I told them
what I had heard.
In the passage, Hemingway's characterization of the narrator and his peers
provides important details about their backgrounds.
allows the reader to fill in the details without being given all of the information
slows down the narrative to allow the reader
develops only one character at a time to not overwhelm the reader.
Mark this and retum

Read the excerpt from the common sense of bicycling: bicycling for ladies. the bicycle is capable of such high speed that there is a strong temptation to ride so fast as to cause over exertion or excessive perspiration. on the other hand some people ride too slow, causing a zigzag and uncertain movement. while exercising reasonable caution, be a fearless rider. when you come to a steep hill, if the road is clear, let it go as fast as it will. if you rid yourself of that ghost of fear, coasting is one of the greatest delights of cycling. which is the best paraphrase of the text?
