Because improving the educational system in this country is essential to competing with the other industrialized nations, we need to equip all classrooms with the latest computer technology.
"The Chrysanthemums" is a story by John Steinbeck. In it, he tells the story of Elisa Allen, who loves to garden. In particular, she loves chrysanthemums.
Elisa is married but seems to be lonely and bored with her life. A stranger arrives (the "tinker") who is looking for work. Although she does not have any work for him to do, she does give him some of her beloved chrysanthemum shoots in a pot. The tinker says he has a customer who wants some.
Elisa gives the tinker a pot filled with shoots and tells the tinker how to care for them. The shoots are very fragile. As Elisa continues to talk to him, she begins to feel an attraction for him. The tinker talks a little about his life and how he travels from place to place. Elisa would like to live as he does, always on the move, but the tinker says it is not a life for women. She tries to explain how strong and capable she is, but he continues to maintain his lifestyle is not for a woman. Soon he leaves.
Elisa watches him drive away. As he goes, she whispers: "That's a bright direction, there's a glowing there." Literally, Elisa means the light glinting off the tinker's wagon. Her words mean more than that, however. The tinker represents freedom, a freedom that Elisa, a woman, can never enjoy. It is noteworthy this light is moving away from her.
And so, Elisa's words indicate a desire for freedom and adventure, two things she will likely never have.

Answer: Change "mortifying" to "mortified"
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Read the sentence.
Abashed by the harsh criticism, the mortifying writer decided to rewrite the beginning of the book.
What is the best way to revise the sentence?
A. Change "Abashed" to "Abashing"
B. Change "mortifying" to "mortified"
C. Change "to rewrite" to "rewriting"
D. Change "beginning" to "began"
From the question, we can see that the use of tenses are incorrect. The use of "mortifying" is wrong, the past tense of mortify which is " mortified" is the right word to use.
When the -ing form is used as noun, it modifies the verb, but in this case, the past tense should have been used.
Answer:
The certified vote count.
Explanation:
In the above text, “...certified vote count, Clinton got 2,865,075 more votes than Trump.”
provides the strongest support claim that “Hilary Clinton was more popular with voters than Donald Trump”. If she wasn't famous or known to people she wouldn't have gotten much votes.
