Review this excerpt from the essay "More Than a Pair of Jeans."

One strategy is to publish ads that show beautiful, glamorous people wearing the jeans the company hopes to sell. Such ads suggest that even you—yes, you—will become more beautiful and glamorous (and maybe even skinnier!) if you choose to wear the jeans. Another technique is to make you feel as if you will face social rejection if you're not wearing the right clothes.

What is the most likely reason for adding the phrase "yes, you" in the middle of the second sentence?

a. to emphasize that beauty and glamor make people feel special
b. to demonstrate how repetition works to persuade and influence consumers
c. to suggest that everyone reading the article is affected by ads in the same way
d. to show how most viewers of ads featuring beauty and glamor are suspicious

THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS CHAPTER 1: Thrill Cruise By Edmond Hamilton Lance Kenniston felt the cold realization of failure as he came out of the building into the sharp chill of the Martian night. He stood for a moment, his lean, drawn face haggard in the light of the two hurtling moons. He looked hopelessly across the dark spaceport. It was a large one, for this ancient town of Syrtis was the main port of Mars. The forked light of the flying moons showed many ships docked on the tarmac—a big liner, several freighters, a small, shining cruiser and other small craft. And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined! A squat, brawny figure in shapeless space-jacket came to Kenniston's side. It was Holk Or, the Jovian who had been waiting for him. "What luck?" asked the Jovian in a rumbling whisper. "It's hopeless," Kenniston answered heavily. "There isn't a small cruiser to be had at any price. The meteor-miners buy up all small ships here." "The devil!" muttered Holk Or, dismayed. "What are we going to do? Go on to Earth and get a cruiser there?" "We can't do that," Kenniston answered. "You know we've got to get back to that asteroid within two weeks. We've got to get a ship here." Desperation made Kenniston's voice taut. His lean, hard face was bleak with knowledge of disastrous failure. The big Jovian scratched his head. In the shifting moonlight his battered green face expressed ignorant perplexity as he stared across the busy spaceport. "That shiny little cruiser there would be just the thing," Holk Or muttered, looking at the gleaming, torpedo-shaped craft nearby. "It would hold all the stuff we've got to take; and with robot controls we two could run it." "We haven't a chance to get that craft," Kenniston told him. "I found out that it's under charter to a bunch of rich Earth youngsters who came out here in it for a pleasure cruise. A girl named Loring, heiress to Loring Radium, is the head of the party." The Jovian swore. "Just the ship we need, and a lot of spoiled kids are using it for thrill-hunting!" Kenniston had an idea. "It might be," he said slowly, "that they're tired of the cruise by this time and would sell us the craft. I think I'll go up to the Terra Hotel and see this Loring girl." "Sure, let's try it anyway," Holk Or agreed. With the Jovian clumping along beside him, Kenniston made his way from the spaceport across the ancient Martian city. Read the following lines from the text: And for lack of one of those ships, his hopes were ruined! This line suggests Kenniston is (3 points) desperate angry dramatic realistic

Read the passage.
There was something about the coast town of Dunnet which made it seem more attractive than other maritime villages of eastern Maine.
Perhaps it was the simple fact of acquaintance with that neighborhood which made it so attaching, and gave such interest to the rocky shore and
dark woods, and the few houses which seemed to be securely wedged and tree-nailed in among the ledges by the Landing. These houses made the
most of their seaward view, and there was a gayety and determined floweriness in their bits of garden ground; the small-paned high windows in the
peaks of their steep gables were like knowing eyes that watched the harbor and the far sea-line beyond, or looked northward all along the shore
and its background of spruces and balsam firs. When one really knows a village like this and its surroundings, it is like becoming acquainted with a
single person. The process of falling in love at first sight is as final as it is swift In such a case, but the growth of true friendship may be a lifelong
affair.
After a first brief visit made two or three summers before in the course of a yachting cruise, a lover of Dunnet Landing returned to find the
unchanged shores of the pointed firs, the same quaintness of the village with its elaborate conventionalities; all that mixture of remoteness, and
childish certainty of being the centre of civilization of which her affectionate dreams had told. One evening In June, a single passenger landed upon
the steamboat wharf. The tide was high, there was a fine crowd of spectators, and the younger portion of the company followed her with subdued
excitement up the narrow street of the salt-alred, white-clapboarded little town.
(from The Country of the Pointed Firs by Sarah Orne Jewett)

Write a seven-stanza poem about elearning using the same rhyme scheme as "Ring Out, Wild Bells" and use alliteration in at least four different lines and onomatopoeia in at least four lines. Here is a hint: the rhyme scheme for each stanza is ABBA. Make sure you single space your stanzas and add the extra space between each stanza. You do not have to indent the second and third lines as Tennyson did, and you do not have to match his metrical pattern.

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

There's some of the poem.
