This "Grammar Review Question" asks:

_______________
 " Which sentence is written in second-person point of view?"
        The Answer: [A]: the only sentence using the "{impersonal} you " —
 as a 'second-person point of view.'  

   Also, this is the only answer—among the answer choices given, that uses:  "you"—as a "single-subject pronoun."

[Note: As opposed to "you" —meaning:  "You all" ; or "You guys"; or "You party animals (over there)."].

Let us consider the other choices:

Choice: [B]:  "After they became informed, they made their own decisions about genetically modified food."

 This is incorrect; since: "they" is a "third person" subject pronoun;
and: "their" is a third-person, possessive pronoun.
We shall rule/out:  "Choice: [B]."

Choice: [C]:  "After she became informed, she made her own decision about genetically modified food."
 This is incorrect;  since "she" is a single-subject, third person pronoun";   [along with "he"— and: " it "] ; and: "her"— is the correctly corresponding; single-subject, third person, possessive pronoun.
We shall rule/out:  "Choice: [C]."

Choice: [D]:  "After I became informed, I made my own decision about genetically modified food."
   This is incorrect; since:  "I"  is a first person, single-subject pronoun;

and: since "my" is the correctly corresponding "first-person, single-subject possessive pronoun.

We shall rule/out: "Choice: [D]."

The correct answer is:  [A]:                                        

{"After you become informed, you can make your own decision about genetically modified food."}.

And so, which will it be? Murderer or hero? My fate hangs on the edge of this razor blade. I can turn my wrist slightly, put a bit more pressure on the blade, let it sink in. The skin will yield like silk, like rubber, like the strop. There is nothing more tender than a man’s skin, and the blood is always there, ready to burst forth. A razor like this cannot fail. It is the best one I have.

Which excerpt from Silent Spring best appeals to readers’ pathos?

So it had been from the days many years ago when the first settlers raised their houses, sank their wells, and built their barns.
The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines.
The countryside was, in fact, famous for the abundance and variety of its bird life, and when the flood of migrants was pouring through in spring and fall people traveled from great distances to observe them.
Yet every one of these disasters has actually happened somewhere, and many real communities have already suffered a substantial number of them. A grim specter has crept upon us almost unnoticed, and this imagined tragedy may easily become a stark reality we all shall know.

Sample Response: The details in this passage lead to the inference that the British waited until they were sure the telegram would encourage the US to enter the war. Hall knew that "outrage was growing in America over Germany's announcement late in the day of January 31 that the German navy would resume unrestricted submarine warfare." Hall knew that the US was close to getting involved in the war, but he waited until "February 24, when Hall sensed that the Zimmermann telegram would tip the balance in favor of the U.S. joining the Allied forces." Because Hall waited to share the telegram, a logical inference is that he wanted to be sure that it would be effective when he did.

What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.

a restatement of the inference in the topic sentence
at least two pieces of evidence from the text

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.

Which key details should be included in a paraphrase of this passage? Select three options.

So The Great Wave, far from being the quintessence of Japan, is a hybrid work, a
fusion of European materials and conventions with a Japanese sensibility. No wonder
this image has been so loved in Europe: it is an exotic relative, not a complete
stranger.
It also, I think, shows a peculiarly Japanese ambivalence. As a viewer, you have no
place to stand, no footing. You too must be in a boat, under the Great Wave, and in
danger. The dangerous sea over which European things and ideas travelled has,
however, been drawn with a profound ambiguity.
What is the author's viewpoint in this excerpt?
O The Great Wave represents feelings of contentment in Japanese culture.
O The Great Wave was created using Japanese materials.
0 The Great Wave represents feelings of ambivalence in Japanese culture.
D The Great Wave was created using European techniques.
