What made Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, Delaware, and West Virginia unique as “border states?”

Answer:

They were slave states but stayed part of the union

Explanation:

from Barbox Brothers
Barbox Brothers stood puzzled on the bridge, passing his right hand across the lines on his forehead, which multiplied while he looked
down, as if the railway Lines were getting themselves photographed on that sensitive plate. Then, was heard a distant ringing of bells and blowing
of whistles. Then, puppet-looking heads of men popped out of boxes in perspective, and popped in again. Then, prodigious wooden razors set up
on end, began shaving the atmosphere. Then, several locomotive engines in several directions began to scream and be agitated. Then, along one
avenue a train came in. Then, along another two trains appeared that didn't come in, but stopped without. Then, bits of trains broke off. Then, a
struggling horse became involved with them. Then, the locomotives shared the bits of trains, and ran away with the whole.
(from Barbox Brothers by Charles Dickens)
The author starts several sentences with "then" in the paragraph.
How does the repeating of the word "then" help to establish the pacing of the scene?
1. It indicates how long the character spent standing over the trains.
2. It creates a sense of everything happening at once In quick succession.
3. It shows that the different actions happened far apart from each other.
4. It shows that the character is eager to move on from his place on the bridge.

Amelia Earhart left for her final journey in 1937, leaving behind her husband, George Putnam, to whom she had been married to six years. In the time leading up to her departure, George helped and encouraged her. He fully supported her trip. Imagine that you are George Putnam. Write a short narrative that includes a conversation with your wife Amelia as she gets ready to depart. Make sure that you include narrative techniques, such as dialogue, pacing, and figurative language as you take on the character of George and consider how he would feel as his wife left on this trip. Remember, he does not know that she won’t return.

"It was only my father, brother, and I who left. My mother stayed behind with my two teenage sisters for fear that the journey by boat to Thailand would be too dangerous for them.
