As opposed to the rest of the book, which is written from Victor Frankenstein's perspective, this excerpt takes place from the monster's point of view. Knowing this, what effect does this change likely have on the text?

A. This change to the monster's point of view is only to provide the audience with additional and objective information unknown to Victor Frankenstein.

B.This change provides a personal look into the monster's first-person point of view and allows the audience to better sympathize with his motivations, feelings, and plight.

C. The change in perspective to the monster's point of view causes the audience to sympathize with Victor Frankenstein even more, upon reading from the monster's evil and vengeful perspective.

D. This change to the monster's first person point of view occurred to purposefully frustrate the reader with its limitations, just as the monster is frustrated with his own.

Over the past 150 years, the concentration of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in Earth's atmosphere has been increasing. Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation emitted by the ground. The greater the concentration of greenhouse gases, the more energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and the greater the air temperature. If the concentration of greenhouse gases leveled off (stopped increasing), what would happen to the air temperature? a. Less energy would be absorbed by the atmosphere, causing air temperature to decrease back to the level it was 150 years ago. b. The amount of energy being absorbed would exceed the amount emitted to space, causing air temperature to rise indefinitely. c. Air temperature would continue to rise but only until the amount of energy emitted by the atmosphere balances the amount absorbed by it.

Moon phases The phases of the moon can be described using the phase angle $\theta$, determined by the sun, the moon, and Earth, as shown in the figure. Because the moon orbits Earth, $\theta$ changes during the course of a month. The area of the region $A$ of the moon, which appears illuminated to an observer on Earth, is given by $A=\frac{1}{2} \pi R^2(1+\cos \theta)$, where $R=1080 \mathrm{mi}$ is the radius of the moon. Approximate $A$ for the following positions of the moon:

$\theta=90^{\circ}$ (first quarter)
