3. Which version of the underlined text in sentence 8 (reproduced below) provides commentary that logically connects to the evidence in the paragraph? Governments can forge alliances between countries, but the particular officials charged with doing so vary from country to country. (as it is now) people often have to travel abroad to truly understand what it is like in other countries their ability to do so can be constrained by economic conditions and other factors these acts do not necessarily encourage feelings of closeness between the countries' citizens the strength of those alliances can be dependent on interactions among the countries' diplomats​

Answer:

The correct answer is these acts do not necessarily encourage feelings of closeness between the countries' citizens.

Explanation:

So, the version of sentence 8 that logically connects to the evidence from the paragraph is Governments can forge alliances between countries, but these acts do not necessarily encourage feelings of closeness between the countries' citizens.

This means that even though these cities are sister-cities and have a political and cultural partnership, that doesn't mean that the citizens who live in those countries actually feel any connection or closeness to the citizens in that other city. This needs to be established in another way, and not through good relations between diplomats only.

“The Names”
By Billy Collins

Yesterday, I lay awake in the palm of the night.
A soft rain stole in, unhelped by any breeze,
And when I saw the silver glaze on the windows,
I started with A, with Ackerman, as it happened,
Then Baxter and Calabro,
Davis and Eberling, names falling into place
←As droplets fell through the dark.
Names printed on the ceiling of the night.
Names slipping around a watery bend.
Twenty-six willows on the banks of a stream.
In the morning, I walked out barefoot
Among thousands of flowers
Heavy with dew like the eyes of tears,
And each had a name —
Fiori inscribed on a yellow petal
Then Gonzalez and Han, Ishikawa and Jenkins.
Names written in the air
And stitched into the cloth of the day.
A name under a photograph taped to a mailbox.
Monogram on a torn shirt,
I see you spelled out on storefront windows
And on the bright unfurled awnings of this city.
I say the syllables as I turn a corner —
Kelly and Lee,
Medina, Nardella, and O’Connor.
When I peer into the woods,
I see a thick tangle where letters are hidden
As in a puzzle concocted for children.
Parker and Quigley in the twigs of an ash,
Rizzo, Schubert, Torres, and Upton,
Secrets in the boughs of an ancient maple.
Names written in the pale sky.
Names rising in the updraft amid buildings.
Names silent in stone
Or cried out behind a door.
Names blown over the earth and out to sea.
In the evening — weakening light, the last swallows.
A boy on a lake lifts his oars.
A woman by a window puts a match to a candle,
And the names are outlined on the rose clouds —
Vanacore and Wallace,
(let X stand, if it can, for the ones unfound)
Then Young and Ziminsky, the final jolt of Z.
Names etched on the head of a pin.
One name spanning a bridge, another undergoing a tunnel.
A blue name needled into the skin.
Names of citizens, workers, mothers and fathers,
The bright-eyed daughter, the quick son.
Alphabet of names in a green field.
Names in the small tracks of birds.
Names lifted from a hat
Or balanced on the tip of the tongue.
Names wheeled into the dim warehouse of memory.
So many names, there is barely room on the walls of the heart.
Questions:
1. What do you notice about the ethnicity and gender of the names? What is the significance of those chosen?
2.What does the author mean by names spanning over a bridge and under a tunnel?
3. What is the significance of the last line? Why is “there barely room on the walls of the heart?”

8. Excerpt: At one point Mrs. Winterbottom said, "I believe I've made more
pies in the past week than I can count." She said this in a cheery voice,
but afterward, in the small silence, when no one commented on her pies,
she gave a soft sigh and looked down at her plate. I thought it was odd
that she baked all those pies when she seemed so concerned about
cholesterol. This is an example of: *
