A. discuss a cause.
B. explain a solution.

D. reinforce the urgent tone.​

Answer 1

Answer:

C. introduce a problem.

Explanation:

The author employs this order of events in order to introduce a problem. In this text, the author presents the situation that the characters faced. He talks about the characters driving along icy roads and battling snowstorms. He also tells us of how they trudged through muddy farms and picked through carsacces. All of these details are included in order to introduce a problem and show how the characters dealt with difficult circumstances.

Answer 2

Answer:

Reinforce an urgent tone

Explanation:

Process of elimination;

'Discuss a cause' is wrong, since the passage is showing how they're trying to solve it

'Explain a solution' may be right, but I don't think the solution is being discussed here

and 'Introduce a problem' is incorrect since I got it wrong on my test :/

Hope this helps
