Explanation:
Read the two arguments. First, identify the similar claim in both passages. Then, explain which argument is more effective in supporting that claim and why. Make sure you include specific references to each argument when developing your response.
Passage
Argument 1:
One thing's for sure: We don't want to be caught unprepared the way we were last winter. Before November rolls around, Mountain City needs more heavy equipment to clear the roads and keep our drivers and pedestrians safe. During the winter season last year, consumers flocked to the Mountain City Mall in record numbers. This included many people from the surrounding towns of Mitchell and Pike, and studies show that those two towns are home to notoriously bad drivers. Keeping the roads clear will ensure we're all much safer.
Argument 2:
Mountain City needs to purchase more snow plows and snow-removal equipment. Over the last two winters, we all saw how the snow piled up because the city wasn't able to remove it. Two of the four main streets that cross the city were blocked for well over two months. In addition, traffic accidents nearly doubled last winter, and according to safety officer Rich Daddy, "the vast majority of the new winter accidents were because of snow." With an even more severe winter predicted by forecasters for this year, it's time to get the equipment we desperately need.
The answer would be that the tone is peaceful because it sounded like the lady gave him something and that's why he's saying thank you. It's not really joyful and the boy didn't do crazy things so that eliminates suspensful and joyful. The reason I didn't choose angry and violent is because even thought she shut the door, she didn't slam the door. So Peaceful is the answer

Answer:
I believe that the best answer to the question here: What does this excerpt from the end of "The Yellow Wallpaper" tell the reader, would be, C: The narrator believes the window bars will not allow her to escape.
Explanation:
"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story by Charlotte Perkins Stetson about a woman who has to spend her entire summer vacation cooped up in a mansion, and particularly an old nursery room papered with yellow wallpaper, with her husband John, his sister and their child. Although at first the woman, who is the narrator, tells us that she despises the wallpaper, as time goes by, and since she is forced to remain where she is, she starts to develop a sort of interest in it as she starts to see that there is much more to the paper than she first thought. Images, and then figures, start to appear, until she is sure she sees a woman´s shape behind the jail-like pattern. At the same time, she starts to see that the woman from the paper also appears on the garden outside, creeping. The appearance of disappearance both in the pattern, or the garden, will depend entirely on the light (sunlight or moonlight), and depending on the reflections on the windows, that woman will turn into many. At the end of the story the narrator and the woman from the pattern become one but they realize they cannot escape, as the windows are barred and cannot be opened. So, it almost seems like she tells herself that even if she had wanted to, she won´t because she cannot open them, it would be misunderstood by others and besides, she could see multiple women out there, creeping, like she did. It almost becomes like the wanderings of a child who knows she cannot get away with what she wanted to do originally, but still gives herself justification for not trying it. That is why the best choice is C.
This passage has a melancholic mood. You can tell this due to some specific key words: "dull", "dark", "soundless." They all have a negative connotation. The imagery of a lone rider in a dreary and dull country under the oppressive sky may clue you in that the overall passage has a sad tone to it. Even later in the passage the author states that the scene is melancholic.
