Ruth’s teacher has asked her to summarize the following excerpt from the short story “Useless Beauty” by Guy de Maupassant. Which detail is too minor and should be left out of a summary?
About half-past five one afternoon at the end of June when the sun was shining warm and bright into the large courtyard, a very elegant victoria with two beautiful black horses drew up in front of the mansion.

The Comtesse de Mascaret came down the steps just as her husband, who was coming home, appeared in the carriage entrance. He stopped for a few moments to look at his wife and turned rather pale. The countess was very beautiful, graceful and distinguished looking, with her long oval face, her complexion like yellow ivory, her large gray eyes and her black hair; and she got into her carriage without looking at him, without even seeming to have noticed him, with such a particularly high-bred air, that the furious jealousy by which he had been devoured for so long again gnawed at his heart. He went up to her and said: "You are going for a drive?"

She merely replied disdainfully: "You see I am!"

"In the Bois de Boulogne?"

"Most probably."

"May I come with you?"

"The carriage belongs to you."

Without being surprised at the tone in which she answered him, he got in and sat down by his wife's side and said: "Bois de Boulogne."

Answer:The time of day does not add anything to the story, nor does the amount of sun in the courtyard.

Explanation:

The sun and time does not add anything to the story, or affect the plot line in any way.

Read the excerpt from Team Moon.

The heavier the spacecraft, the harder it is to launch. And fuel is heavy. So it was critical to pinpoint the fuel needed, add a cushion, then take no more than necessary. But now, because the landing was taking far longer than planned, the fuel was almost gone. Mission Control wanted Neil to take as much time as he needed and fly the LM as near empty as possible only because they wanted him to make the landing. But if he ran out of fuel above the surface, in all likelihood the LM would crash onto the moon. So they were trying to time it to the last possible second before calling an abort—calling off the landing.

Which detail from the excerpt identifies a solution?

they were trying to time it to the last possible second
they wanted him to make the landing
the fuel was almost gone
And fuel is heavy

pls help 15 points Read the passage below from “The Unseen Values.”

However we think of it, it is a dawning period and one which—in its scope and potential—promises to dwarf much of what has gone before. Those who have given careful thought to the matter are convinced that while some caution is in order, the new era is not one to be approached with timidity, inhibited imagination or too much convention. Neither is there any point in trying to hold off the tempo of this oncoming age or, in any other way, to evade it.
What is the most likely reason for the author’s use of the word “dawning” in the passage above?

To signify the bright future of space exploration
To represent the harsh reality that will soon be evident
To highlight the unpredictable outlook for space exploration
To illustrate the enlightenment of scientists in the field
