Select the correct text in the passage.Which detail best supports the idea that the people in the future are confused about where the narrator has come from?adapted from The Time Machineby H.G. Wells     As they made no effort to communicate with me, but simply stood round me smiling and speaking in soft cooing notes to each other, I began the conversation by pointing to the Time Machine and to myself. Then, hesitating for a moment how to express Time, I pointed to the sun and at once a quaintly pretty little figure in chequered purple and white followed my gesture, and then astonished me by imitating the sound of thunder.     For a moment I was staggered, though the import of his gesture was plain enough. The question had come into my mind abruptly: were these creatures fools? You may hardly understand how it took me. You see, I had always anticipated that the people of the year Eight Hundred and Two Thousand odd would be incredibly in front of us in knowledge, art, everything. Then one of them suddenly asked me a question that showed him to be on the intellectual level of one of our five-year-old children—asked me, in fact, if I had come from the sun in a thunderstorm! It let loose the judgment I had suspended upon their clothes, their frail light limbs, and fragile features. A flow of disappointment rushed across my mind and for a moment I felt that I had built the Time Machine in vain.

Read the following passage and answer the question. Effective narration rests on two key writing techniques: the careful, accurate sequencing of events and a consistent point of view on the part of the narrator. Narrative sequence and essential shifts in the sequence are signaled in three ways: chronology (clock and calendar time), transitional words pertaining to time (before, after, next, first, while, then), and verb tenses that indicate whether something has happened (past tense) or is under way (present tense). The point of view indicates the writer’s relation to the information being narrated as reflected in the use of person. Narration usually expresses a first- or third-person point of view. Which is correct about the basis of an effective narration?
