Answer: I would use a dictionary, but that wasn’t a choice; She should reread the beginning and ending of the story to see if her prediction was correct.

Explanation: IF she reread only the sentence with the unknown word to see if her guess makes sense, she could still err, but reading before and after should give a better idea if it was correct.

Read the sentence.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is "two-thirds".

Explanation:

In English, we use "hyphen" (punctuation mark) to join two or more words. These should not be confused with "dashes", who are a longer punctuation mark and have other uses like separate explanatory phrases.

Hyphens are used to join words or terms to avoid confusions and they are written with no space between them and the words. In some cases, they are used to preserve the text's clarity: when adding a prefix (great-grandmother) or when the final and initial letters coincide (co-operate).

In this specific case, "two-thirds" is a fraction, so the hyphens are used to let know the relation between these two words instead of reading them as separated numbers.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The answer is letter D.

Explanation:

Characterization refers to how the characters in a story are represented by telling or showing a certain feature or description of their personalities or characteristics. There are mainly two types of characterization:<em> direct and indirect.</em>

  • Direct Characterization- the writer <em>tells</em> the character's personality by mentioning direct statements. For example: "She was a brilliant girl." In this case, he is directly telling the reader.
  • Indirect Characterization- the writer <em>shows</em> the character's personality by cumulative details. Examples of this are the thoughts of the character, or the way she dresses.

Among the choices above,<u> it is only letter D which shows indirect characterization.</u> <u>The statement shows what the character thinks about working in the farm, according to what he declared.</u>

MissTica

Answer:

"I also enlarged my mother's kitchen and pantry."

"Then Bart went off to college and I had use of the rest of the basement."

"Not only was this invention used in theaters, but it was sold to the Museum of Natural History and the New York Planetarium to project views of the heavens on the ceiling."

Explanation:

These are the statements that can be considered facts. Facts are objective statements that describe reality. The most important quality of facts is that they are falsifiable. This means that facts can be proven to be right or wrong. Facts are usually contrasted with opinions. Opinions are thoughts that a person has, but that are not necessarily shared by others. Moreover, opinions are not objectively right or wrong, they are subjective, as they express the unique point of view of a person, and depend on this for legitimacy.
