Plebeian refers to the common people or working class. 2. A working man is typically someone who performs manual labor for wages. 3. Therefore, the term plebeian closely aligns with the definition of a working man. Summary: - Viscount and Entrepreneur do not relate to the working class or manual labor. - Bourgeois typically refers to the middle class, not the working class like a working man.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because the passage focuses on the significance of insects in ecosystems, highlighting their role in pollination, decomposition, and food chains. It does not primarily discuss insects transitioning from water to air (A), or how insects adapt to their environment (B). The passage also does not specifically address the duality of insect life (D), making it an incorrect choice.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Narrative. Autobiographies and memoirs are forms of writing that tell a personal story or account of events, making them fall under the category of narrative writing. They focus on personal experiences and are written in a storytelling format. Choice A (Fiction) is incorrect because autobiographies and memoirs are based on real events and are non-fictional. Choice C (Informational text) is incorrect because while autobiographies and memoirs can provide information, their primary focus is on storytelling rather than providing factual information. Choice D (Research papers) is incorrect because research papers are academic documents that present findings from research studies, which is different from the personal storytelling nature of autobiographies and memoirs.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Third person omniscient. In the text, the narrator has access to the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters, indicating omniscience. This perspective allows the author to provide insights into various characters' perspectives. The other choices are incorrect because: A (First person) would involve "I" or "we" narration, B (Third person limited) would focus on one character's thoughts, and D (Objective) would present only observable actions without access to characters' internal thoughts.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The final comment of the passage indicates the speaker's determination to continue looking for Hyde. This conclusion is supported by the speaker's explicit statement of "I shall go on and continue my search." The speaker's clear intention to persevere in searching for Hyde directly aligns with option D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because there is no evidence in the passage to suggest the speaker is considering a name change, experiencing an identity crisis, or has mistakenly been looking for the wrong person. The correct answer, D, is the only option that directly reflects the speaker's stated intention to persist in the search for Hyde.
