How does this excerpt relate to the plot of the The Inheritors? It creates a shift in the mood, which was initially lighthearted, to one that is somber and tense. It characterizes Emil, who is the first to mention the act, as one who exaggerates and worries unnecessarily. It establishes the setting by referring to acts of espionage that were only committed during certain periods in history. It strengthens the conflict by revealing the severity of the punishments that one convicted of spying will face.

Hello. You forgot to show the excerpt to which this question refers. This excerpt is:

Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.

When I was twelve years old and Barton, my older brother, was around fifteen, we took over the family basement. At first, I made a darkroom for developing pictures, and Bart was using it as his lab where he was raising about one hundred white rats, removing their thymus glands, and trying to figure out the glands' dysfunction. He wanted pictures taken of his experiment, doing the surgery on rats, and since I already had a darkroom, I took the pictures, though somewhat reluctantly. I didn't like the blood.





What can you conclude about Barton from the excerpt?

He was interested in solving medical mysteries at a rather early age.
He did not understand why Dean would be squeamish about the blood.
He went on to become a very famous and successful doctor.
He had a severe dislike for rats and all other kinds of rodents.
