Transportation Strike Disrupts Westridge Thousands unable to get to work or school
WESTRIDGE, Ohio - More than 600 transportation employees went on strike at midnight last night
after the Westridge City Council rejected their demand for a 10% pay increase. The strike affects
all bus and rail services throughout Westridge and the neighboring communities of Turlock,
Smithfield, and Lowell Grove.
"We hoped we would not be forced to strike, but until our demands are met, we really have no
choice," said Wanda Thompson, a representative of the Transportation Employees Union. "We
simply don't get paid what we deserve."
Members of the Westridge City Council see the situation differently. "Our employees already earn
6% more than the state average for similar transportation jobs," said Raoul Cobian, President of
the Westridge City Council.
Hopefully the two groups can come to an agreement soon and bring this unnecessary strike to an
end.

a feature article

Explanation:

A feature article is a textual genre that allows the disclosure of a fact (or a subject) in a detailed and in-depth way. For this reason, the feature article has several elements that explain the fact that is being displayed, in addition to showing the opinion and the different interpretation of several people who are, in some way, related to the fact, allowing the viewer or reader to have several forms of interpretation that allow him to reach his own conclusion about what is being exposed.

An example of this can be seen in the text above, where it shows a feature article that explains a fact (transport workers' strike), shows the reasons that caused this fact to occur and presents two opinions (against and in favor of the strike) about the fact .

there mad at that place

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.)
