Hello. Unfortunately you did not enter the text this question refers to and it is not possible to find it by the section title. This makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you as best I can.
The tone of a text is the feeling the author wants the reader to feel while reading. In this case, to answer this question, you will need to read the entire text and identify the tone it presents. This tone is modified by the sentence "For a lot of reasons, Chicago checked a lot of boxes for us," as the question indicates. Thus, the feeling expressed by the text is modified and you must identify this modification, that is, you must inform what was the old feeling and what is the new feeling, presented by this sentence.
Next, you need to identify what this sentence adds to the text, that is, why it was added to the text, what meaning it carries.
You must also present how this sentence is supported in the text. This means that you should look for other sentences that show that Chicago actually checked the boxes, that is, you should look for sentences that prove this happened.
Read the following passages:
But looking, I presently saw something stirring within the
shadow. ... Then something resembling a little gray snake,
about the thickness of a walking stick, coiled up out of the
writhing middle and wriggled in the air toward me and
then another."
-H. G. Wells, The War of the Worlds
Good heavens, something's wriggling out of the shadow
like a gray snake. Now it's another one, and another. They
look like tentacles to me.
-Orson Welles's radio adaptation of War of the Worlds
What choice does Welles make that causes the radio broadcast to feel like it
is happening live?
A. He changes the perspective to the first person.
B. He changes the verbs to present tense.
O C. He changes the details of the scene to be more frightening.
D. He changes the tone of the story to be less dramatic.
Answer: B. He changes the verbs to present tense.
Explanation:
In the adaptation, the biggest difference made was how he worded it to make it sound like it was happening in present tense.
Details were changed but not enough for it to be the main reason that the story felt like it was happening live so C. and D. are wrong.
The perspective was already in first person to begin with so A. is wrong as well.
The only option left is B. and we can see that he does change the story to be in present tense which is a good explanation as to how the story sounded like it was happening live.
I hope this helps!
The use of present tense verbs also creates a sense of urgency and tension, which heightens the suspense and makes the audience feel more engaged in the story. Thus, option B is correct.
What is the present tense verb?Present tense verbs are verbs that describe actions that are currently happening or habitual actions. In English, present tense verbs typically end in "-s" in the third person singular form (e.g. "he walks," "she talks," "it runs") and do not require an auxiliary verb (e.g. "is," "are," "am") to form the present tense.
Examples of present tense verbs in the present simple tense include "I walk," "you talk," "we run," "they eat." In the context of the passage, the use of present tense verbs in Orson Welles's radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds creates a sense of immediacy and makes the events feel like they are happening in real-time.

"All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."
Answer: Life and death
Explanation:
The "stage" is the world. The men and women being "merely players" is everyone living their lives on the world, having their own purpose in life, but because the world is depicted as a stage, then the men and women are like actors. "Exits and entrances" refers to the death and birth of humans, meaning we were all born once, and will die one day, when our time comes. The seven ages are seven stages in life that we will reach some point in our lives:
1. infant
2. schoolboy
3. lover
4. soldier
5. justice
6. platoon
7. old age
After old age, comes death.

Answer:
In the blink of an eye, Azrael would go from a picture-perfect partner to a man from Hell. Every night he would arrive back to their cozy home smelling of cheap perfume and covered in marks of love. If June mentioned either of these signs of lust, Azrael would grow aggressive, leaving June covered in bruises and her own blood. June went from this bright and naturally stunning woman to a plain canvas harshly painted with strokes of blacks and blues. June's enthusiastic and loveable personality slowly faded, and in its place, a new figure filled this space. June, who was once outspoken and confident, was now soft-spoken and frightened. Others in the town noticed these changes and bruises but never discussed these signs of danger. Junes eyes opened to the sound of movement in her room The last thing June saw before blacking out was the moonlight reflecting off his harrowing eyes and a glimpse of the silver gun at his waist. When June's eyes fluttered open yet again, the silver gun that was once at his waist was now firmly pressed against her head. He held her close in what should have been a loving embrace but instead left her terrified. He brought his lips close to her ear while slowly moving the gun to her heart and whispered, "till death do us part." June closed her eyes as a single tear trickled down her cheek. The intense sound of two gunshots rang out loudly in the night. The townsfolk were left in a frenzy to find the source of this sound. They continued their search unsuccessfully as the night waisted away to dawn. With the light of morning, the townspeople happened upon the woeful sight of the lifeless bodies of the two star-crossed lovers laid in a puddle of crimson.

also here's this if you want to listen to it instead of reading:
One night in autumn a few men were gathered about a fire on a hill. They belonged to a small detachment of Confederate forces. Their gray uniforms were worn beyond the point of shabbiness. One of the men was heating something in a tin cup over the embers. Two were lying at full length a little distance away, while a fourth was trying to decipher a letter and had drawn close to the light. He had unfastened his collar and a good bit of his flannel shirt front.
"What's that you got around your neck, Ned?" asked one of the men.
Ned—or Edmond—mechanically fastened another button of his shirt and did not reply. He went on reading his letter.
"Is it your sweetheart's picture?"
"Taint no gal's picture," offered the man at the fire. "That's a charm. Hey, French! Ain't I right?" Edmond looked up absently from his letter.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Ain't that a charm you got round your neck?"
"It must be, Nick," returned Edmond with a smile. "I don't know how I could have gone through this year and a half without it."
The letter had made Edmond heartsick and homesick. He stretched himself on his back and looked straight up at the blinking stars. But he was not thinking of them nor of anything but a certain spring day when a girl was saying goodbye to him. He could see her as she unclasped from her neck the locket which she fastened about his own. It was an old fashioned golden locket bearing miniatures of her father and mother. It was her most precious earthly possession. Edmond could feel again the folds of the girl's soft white gown and see the droop of the angel-sleeves as she circled her fair arms about his neck. Her sweet face, tormented by the pain of parting, appeared before him as vividly as life. He turned over, burying his face in his arm and there he lay, still and motionless. . . .
Octavie wore a plain black dress, severe in its simplicity. A narrow belt held it at the waist and the sleeves were gathered into close fitting wristbands. She had discarded her hoopskirt and appeared not unlike a nun. Beneath the folds of her bodice nestled the old locket. She never displayed it now. It had returned to her sanctified in her eyes; made precious as material things sometimes are by being forever identified with a significant moment of one's existence. . . .
Octavie felt as if she had passed into a stage of existence which was like a dream, more poignant and real than life. There was the old gray house with its sloping eaves. Amid the blur of green, and dimly, she saw familiar faces and heard voices as if they came from far across the fields, and Edmond was holding her. It was as if the spirit of life and the awakening spring had given back the soul to her youth and bade her rejoice.
Answer:
The locket necklace symbolizes Love. Evident from how she was feeling as he held her hand.

Answer:
When I was a child, I used to believe in ghosts and witches. There was an old lady who lived not far from my house, and my best friend and I thought she was a bit mysterious. We never saw her much, and her house was surrounded by trees and tall plants, which prevented us from seeing it well. We often saw smoke come out from somewhere, and we wondered if she was making potions in her cauldron. One day, we decided to get as close as possible and see what she was doing. However, the woman spotted us and yelled, so we ran away to never come back.
Explanation:
Usamos el pasado simple en inglés para expresar acciones completas. Con verbos regulares, añadimos -d, -ed, o -ied al verbo infinitivo:
- dance (infinitivo) - danced (pasado)
- work (infinitivo) - worked (pasado)
- study (infinitivo) - studied (pasado)
Con verbos irregulares, necesitamos memorizar la forma pasada de cada verbo:
- eat (infinitivo) - ate (pasado)
- drink (infinitivo) - drank (pasado)
- read (infinitivo) - read (pasado)
Read the scenario. A group of four friends are in class together. They are all members of the school band. After class, one member of the group asks the others if they want to discuss where to have their next practice. All four members decide this is a good idea. Two of the friends suggest their houses for the practice. All members of the group vote on where to have the practice. Which statement best describes the discussion? It is an informal discussion because the people could participate without preparing in advance. It is an informal discussion because the members are using diction appropriate to the topic. It is a formal discussion because the members voted on where to have the practice. It is a formal discussion because the conversation is taking place in a classroom.
Answer:
It is an informal discussion because the people could participate without preparing in advance.
Explanation:
An informal discussion is one that takes place without proper planning. This type of discussion is carried out suddenly to resolve situations without major impacts. None of the members of the informal discussion were submitted to rules, or needed to study and prepare for the discussion, as it ends quickly and only needs simple and direct answers. An example of this can be seen in the question above, where a group of friends quickly decide where they can rehearse for the school band. This discussion established between them was carried out without planning or regulations. In addition to being completed quickly and not having a big impact. This succeeds in proving that this situation is an example of informal discussion.
