Answer:

b) Not refined or processed.

Explanation:

The word "crude" is used to refer to the natural state of something, without any changes done to it. This means that 'crude' refers to things that are in their original condition without undergoing any change or correction.

In the given passage, the speaker talks of "crude oil from Lake Maracaibo . . . to be made into gasoline, kerosene, and diesel oil." This means that the oil that they got from the lake is in its original state, before any process is done on it to change its properties. This, in short, means the oil is unrefined or not yet processed.

Thus, the correct answer is option b.

Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence contains an example of blas?

Drama: The Best Form of Entertainment

Today, there are a lot of means to entertain oneself, for example, a person can watch movies, read books, or see ball games. If given the choice, would pick going to a theater to watch a play over anything else. Plays are unique because a playwright depends on dialogue to keep the audience Informed about the plot. Plays do not have elaborate visual effects or descriptive paragraphs, so only dialogue can be used to show action. A good play creates dramatic tension, and I believe everyone enjoys any form of entertainment that has dramatic tension. Moreover, watching a play is a more personal experience than any other form of entertainment. Sometimes the audience can be part of the action happening in the drama, which is simply not possible in films. Additionally, I think plays are the best form of entertainment due to the actors' talent, because unlike movies, stage actors do not have the option of doing multiple takes. Since they are performing live, they have to deliver their dialogue perfectly. Everyone should try watching at least one play in a year.

A:Plays are unique because a playwright depends on dialogue to keep the audience Informed about the plot.

B:A good play creates dramatic tension, and I believe everyone enjoys any form of entertainment that has dramatic tension.

C:Sometimes the audience can be part of the action happening in the drama, which is simply not possible in films.

D:Since they are performing live, they have to deliver their dialogue perfectly.​

Directions: In an in-depth analysis. Compare “Caged Bird” by Maya Angelou to what we can infer about Boo Radley from Chapter 1-9 of To Kill a Mockingbird. Your analysis should be 2 or more paragraphs, quoting both “Caged Bird” and To Kill a Mockingbird.
Caged Bird


BY MAYA ANGELOU
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
