00:09

nicer than a harry manto it's Really gross get clippers

00:14

for those things Like what is that people Big foot

00:16

Maybe All right we're reading we're reading you know on

00:20

a coach and horses more dead than alive It's dark

00:24

All right yep Bristol by things parlor Can i take

00:29

your hand and i prefer to keep them up all

00:34

right we'll read the following description from paragraph one Rat

00:37

chair Snow had piled itself against his shoulders and chest

00:42

and added a white crest to the burden he carried

00:46

heavy Well the author uses the white crest and the

00:50

burden he carried into description about teo Do what And

00:54

here the potential answer Okay well if the answer doesn't

00:59

jump right out at us it's best to take another

01:00

look at the passage is one might trick us that

01:04

we don't have a solid memory of what went down

01:06

in the first paragraph Yeah well for example choice a

01:10

claims that h g wells wants us to feel How

01:12

heavy the strangers luggage is huh When we see the

01:16

word burden well we might be fooled but the first

01:19

sense of the paragraph tells us that the strangers on

01:21

li carrying a little black portmanteau well if you didn't

01:24

know a portmanteau is kind of suitcase And since this

01:27

one's a little guy we know the stranger doesn't have

01:29

too much luggage Yes the stranger believes in traveling light

01:33

It is perfect All right Options He's Probably right on

01:36

some level There's no doubt the stranger is glad to

01:39

be in out of the blizzard and eaten some of

01:41

mrs hall's famous Now whatever she's famous for over this

01:45

is not the reason that wells mentions the strangers burdens

01:48

and snowy shoulders H g is up to something cooler

01:52

here B isn't a totally ridiculous answer The white crest

01:57

of snow does show how miserable the strangers walk from

02:00

the train station wass Unless the white crest is dan

02:03

drift but get the streams with benefit of the doubt

02:05

their thank you head and shoulders Ultimately option d is

02:09

the best answer The sentence from the passage reads The

02:12

snow had piled itself against his shoulders and chest and

02:15

added a white crest to the burden he carried Got

02:18

it Wells doesn't tell us what the mysterious burden is

02:22

so we're basically left toe wonder about this guy's secret

02:25

issues even though the title of the novel just kind

02:29

of gives away at least one major problem This guy 00:02:32.175 --> [endTime] has right
