Answer 1

Fruit, by the by, was all their diet. These people of the remote future were strict vegetarians, and while I was with them, in spite of some carnal cravings, I had to be frugivorous also. Indeed, I found afterwards that horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, had followed the Ichthyosaurus into extinction. But the fruits were very delightful; one, in particular, that seemed to be in season all the time I was there-a floury thing in a three-sided husk-was especially good, and I made it my staple. At first I was puzzled by all these strange fruits, and by the strange flowers I saw, but later I began to perceive their import.

"But the fruits were very delightful; one, in particular, that seemed to be in season all the time I was there-a floury thing in a three-sided husk-was especially good, and I made it my staple." "Staple" probably means _____.

Answer 9

"Where is the clerk?" I asked, for there was no one behind the counter, and no one seemed coming to attend to the customer.
"I have no need of the clerk yet," said Edith; "I have not made my selection."
"It was the principal business of clerks to help people to make their selections in my day," I replied.
"What! To tell people what they wanted?"
"Yes; and oftener to induce them to buy what they didn't want."
"But did not ladies find that very impertinent?" Edith asked, wonderingly. "What concern could it possibly be to the clerks whether people bought or not?"
"It was their sole concern," I answered. "They were hired for the purpose of getting rid of the goods, and were expected to do their utmost, short of the use of force, to compass that end."
"Ah, yes! How stupid I am to forget!" said Edith. "The storekeeper and his clerks depended for their livelihood on selling the goods in your day. Of course that is all different now. The goods are the nation's. They are here for those who want them, and it is the business of the clerks to wait on people and take their orders; but it is not the interest of the clerk or the nation to dispose of a yard or a pound of anything to anybody who does not want it."

The main idea of this passage is that _____.
the past and the future are the same<--- my answer
in the future, men and women treat each other differently
the speaker is unfamiliar with his own time
in the future, buying and selling are different

Answer 10

Answer 16

"Where is the clerk?" I asked, for there was no one behind the counter, and no one seemed coming to attend to the customer.

The conflict in this scene arises from _____.
two viewpoints on selling and buying
rivalry between males and females
rivalry between Edith and the store clerk<--- my answer
The need to prove that the past is better than the future

Answer 17

Yes you are correct on the first one. And for the other one I'm guessing it would be A, two viewpoints on selling and buying

Answer 18

"I have no need of the clerk yet," said Edith; "I have not made my selection."

They are here for those who want them, and it is the business of the clerks to wait on people and take their orders; but it is not the interest of the clerk or the nation to dispose of a yard or a pound of anything to anybody who does not want it."

How does the writer satirize present-day business practices?
He shows that the future is no better than the present.
He has the narrator defend present-day business practices.
He has future storekeepers object to the new ways.<--- my answer
He has Edith show how "backwards" present-day practices are.

Answer 19

I had never seen, had scarcely imagined, human beings undertaking such a work as the deliberate replanting of an entire forest area with different kinds of trees. Yet this seemed to them the simplest common sense, like a man's plowing up an inferior lawn and reseeding it. Now every tree bore fruit-edible fruit, that is. In the case of one tree, in which they took especial pride, it had originally no fruit at all-that is, none humanly edible-yet was so beautiful that they wished to keep it. For nine hundred years they had experimented, and now showed us this particularly lovely graceful tree, with a profuse crop of nutritious seeds.

They had early decided that trees were the best food plants, requiring far less labor in tilling the soil, and bearing a larger amount of food for the same ground space; also doing much to preserve and enrich the soil.

The main idea of this passage is that _____.
there is no such thing as progress
trees take a long time to grow
people can make mistakes but survive them
an important task deserves all the time it needs<--- my answer

Answer 26

The people had very little machinery now. I had been struck with this over and over again, though I had not been more than four-and-twenty hours in the country. They were about as far advanced as Europeans of the twelfth or thirteenth century; certainly not more so. And yet they must have had at one time the fullest knowledge of our own most recent inventions. How could it have happened that having been once so far in advance they were now as much behind us? It was evident that it was not from ignorance. They knew my watch as a watch when they saw it; and the care with which the broken machines were preserved and ticketed, proved that they had not lost the recollection of their former civilization. The more I thought, the less I could understand it; but at last I concluded that they must have worked out their mines of coal and iron, till either none were left, or so few, that the use of these metals was restricted to the very highest nobility. This was the only solution I could think of...

What is the main idea of this passage?
Ignorance destroys a society.
Coal mining is an important industry.
A society has fallen backwards to an earlier stage of development.<--- my answer
