Which of these passages is an example of a functional text?
Passage 1
Circulatory systems are vital to every organism. In some, this system is simple. For example, in earthworms, the "heart" is just five branching blood vessels near the worm's head. The worm's heart does not pump; instead, blood and fluid move through the worm as it moves through the soil. The octopus, a more complex animal, has three hearts because its main heart does not pump strongly. Humans only have one heart that is divided into four chambers. These chambers separate oxygen-rich blood from blood rich in carbon dioxide. Regardless of its size, the circulatory performs many important jobs.

The proofs which he gives of this fundamental fact are quite satisfactory; they are indeed the same proofs as we give today. There is, first of all, the well-known circumstance of which our books on geography remind us, that when an object is viewed at a distance across the sea, the lower part of the object appears cut off by the interposing curved mass of water.
(from Great Astronomers by Robert Stawell Ball)

And she had a long white veil dependent from her hair, and she had bridal flowers in her hair, but her hair was white. Some bright jewels sparkled on her neck and on her hands, and some other jewels lay sparkling on the table. Dresses, less splendid than the dress she wore, and half-packed trunks, were scattered about…
(from Great Expectations by Charles Dickens)

Read the excerpt from hemingway’s a farewell to arms. we parked the cars beyond the brickyard. the ovens and some deep holes had been equipped as dressing stations. there were three doctors that i knew. i talked with the major and learned that when it should start and our cars should be loaded we would drive them back along the screened road and up to the main road along the ridge where there would be a post and other cars to clear them. which best describes hemingway’s style of writing in the excerpt? straightforward and simple, while still relating a lot of information to the reader long-winded and offering far too much information to the reader overly complicated, making it difficult to interpret and understand the text effortless and uncomplicated, with little meaning for the reader to interpret
