At a community meeting, a representative for a gas-drilling
company was accused of poisoning the local water supply.
He insisted that the company was not harming the
environment in any way. A local resident offered him a
glass of the local tap water to drink. "Oh no," the
representative said. "I only drink bottled water."
Based on this work of satire, what is most likely the author's opinion?
A. That companies often lie about the damage they cause
B. That companies usually have people's best interests in mind
C. That companies do less harm to the environment than citizens do
D. That companies pay their employees to drink bottled water
7

Answer:

A

Explanation:

That companies lie about the damage they cause

hope this helps <3

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ The \ companies \ often \ lie \ about \ the \ damage \ they \ cause}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Let's analyze the information and answer choices provided.

We see the the company representative denies the accusations of harm to the environment or water supply. Yet, when he is offered the water, he says he will only drink bottled water.

This can lead us to believe the company is lying. Why would the representative state the water is fine, then refuse to drink it?

If the water really was clean and not poisoned, then he should have been willing to drink it, especially in front of the community members.

So, the company doesn't have the people's best interests in mind (choice B), the citizens aren't the ones causing damage, it's actually the company (choice C), and there is no evidence that employees are paid to drink bottled water (choice D). Therefore, choice A must be correct.

What does the irony in these excerpts from “In Another Country” by Ernest Hemingway convey?

The doctor came up to the machine where I was sitting and said: "What did you like best to do before the war? Did you practice a sport?"

I said: "Yes, football."

"Good," he said. "You will be able to play football again better than ever."

My knee did not bend and the leg dropped straight from the knee to the ankle without a calf, and the machine was to bend the knee and make it move as riding a tricycle.

. . . In the next machine was a major who had a little hand like a baby's. He winked at me when the doctor examined his hand, which was between two leather straps that bounced up and down and flapped the stiff fingers, and said: "And will I too play football, captain-doctor?" He had been a very great fencer, and before the war the greatest fencer in Italy.

From The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

There was a rustling of dresses, and the standing congregation sat down. The boy whose history this book relates did not enjoy the prayer, he only endured it—if he even did that much. He was restive all through it; he kept tally of the details of the prayer, unconsciously—for he was not listening, but he knew the ground of old, and the clergyman's regular route over it—and when a little trifle of new matter was interlarded, his ear detected it and his whole nature resented it; he considered additions unfair, and scoundrelly. In the midst of the prayer a fly had lit on the back of the pew in front of him and tortured his spirit by calmly rubbing its hands together, embracing its head with its arms, and polishing it so vigorously that it seemed to almost part company with the body, and the slender thread of a neck was exposed to view; scraping its wings with its hind legs and smoothing them to its body as if they had been coat-tails; going through its whole toilet as tranquilly as if it knew it was perfectly safe. As indeed it was; for as sorely as Tom's hands itched to grab for it they did not dare—he believed his soul would be instantly destroyed if he did such a thing while the prayer was going on. But with the closing sentence his hand began to curve and steal forward; and the instant the "Amen" was out the fly was a prisoner of war. His aunt detected the act and made him let it go.

The minister gave out his text and droned along monotonously through an argument that was so prosy that many a head by and by began to nod—and yet it was an argument that dealt in limitless fire and brimstone and thinned the predestined elect down to a company so small as to be hardly worth the saving. Tom counted the pages of the sermon; after church he always knew how many pages there had been, but he seldom knew anything else about the discourse. However, this time he was really interested for a little while. The minister made a grand and moving picture of the assembling together of the world's hosts at the millennium when the lion and the lamb should lie down together and a little child should lead them. But the pathos, the lesson, the moral of the great spectacle were lost upon the boy; he only thought of the conspicuousness of the principal character before the on-looking nations; his face lit with the thought, and he said to himself that he wished he could be that child, if it was a tame lion.
