I'm home!" Earl shouted as he walked in the door. His wife Gail came bounding down the stairs. She hadn't seen him since he had

left to go on his silly fishing trip two weeks ago. "I missed you, Husband. Did you catch anything?" Gail reluctantly asked, knowing that Earl was not a very good fisherman. Earl scratched his head and responded, "You're not going to believe what I'm bringing home." Earl unzipped a cooler and pulled out several perfectly filleted salmon steaks. "Wow, Earl, I didn't know that you could fillet a fish like that." Earl looked around the room a little bit and scratched his head, "Uh, yeah, Jeff taught me how." Gail looked at him suspiciously. "Well, let me help you unpack." As Gail was helping Earl unpack his truck, she found a receipt from the grocery store. It was dated from that morning. What she saw was both disappointing and unsurprising.
What did Gail find on the receipt? The receipt was for store-bought Salmon. I know this because it says


Why was Gail disappointed and unsurprised with what she saw?

At the beginning of the story, it states that “Earl was not a very good fisherman.” When he brought back perfectly filleted salmon steaks, it was too good to be true. Earl also acted strangely when Gail stated that she didn’t know he could fillet a fish like that. The receipt was proof that Earl didn’t catch any fish and he lied to his wife. He instead bought it from the grocery store. Gail was disappointed because her husband lied to her and he couldn’t make and honest living of fishing. She was also unsurprised because he never caught anything and if he would it wouldn’t be perfectly fillet salmon.
Hope that helped!!

Read the sidebar titled “A Champion for the Soil” from Years of Dust.
Svetlanka [38]

The correct answer is the last option "A photo of Hugh Bennett speaking"

Explanation:

There are multiple reasons why a photo of Hugh Bennet is the most appropriate image to support this sidebar. First of all, in this sidebar, there are different quotes by Hugh Bennet expressing his thoughts or opinions about the impact of Americans in the land. Also, at the end of the sidebar, there is additional information about the life of Hugh Bennet which supports the previous text of the sidebar. Finally, any of the other options seemed to be related to the sidebar, we do not know who Dorothea Lange is, the article is not related to child work, and the Dust Bowl region is not specifically mentioned.

Now that you've spotted the problems of shift of person and shift of number, revise the paragraph by removing these inconsistenc
mezya [45]

Answer:

In the story, "The Valiant Woman" by J.J. Powers, we find that in judging people, we overlook most of the characteristics that draw us to them, but we do so without realizing it. We can draw inaccurate conclusions about a person by misjudging their facial expressions, their physical stamina, and their obvious personality traits. When people are blinded by false superiority, they judge a person incorrectly because they fail to see them as they really are.

Explanation:

The paragraph has been revised and the inconsistencies with the shift of person and shift of number have been corrected.

It has been rewritten and consistency was maintained by making use of the first person plural when referring to readers, and the third person plural nouns and pronouns when referring to those being judged.
