A study guide is what you complete for practice before a test.
Answer and Explanation:
<u>Meeting at ten in the morning meant the villagers would have enough time to be done with the lottery and be home by noon for lunch. While other bigger towns had to begin the lottery one day earlier, this village only had 300 inhabitants, which made it all faster for them.</u>
"The Lottery" is a short story by author Shirley Jackson in which the power of ritual and tradition is discussed as theme. The inhabitants of a village take part in a lottery every single year, on the 27th of June. The person who name is ultimately drawn in the lottery has to be killed by the others.
I would say the least likely purpose of descriptive writing would be to entertain readers since i think of description as being recounting how things are at the moment so could explain historical events or by describing a scene of devastation could call people to action, for example.
Answer:

Explanation:
Homophones are words that are pronounced the same way but have different meanings (and sometimes spelling).
In the first sentence, there are two homophones:<em> their </em>and<em> there.</em><em> </em><em>Their</em> is a word used to describe that something <em>belongs to them</em> (Pete and Malia's way - their way). <em>There</em> is the opposite of <em>here</em> and means <em>at that place </em>(get into the convention - get in there).
The second pair of homophones is <em>buy</em> and<em> by</em>. <em>To buy</em> is a verb that means <em>to purchase</em> something. <em>By</em> is a preposition used to state who is performing a certain action (a comic book by their favorite author - their favorite author wrote the book they are buying).
Answer:
The persuasive writing style.
Explanation:
Which writing style problem is most apparent (obvious) in Statement 1?
- Take a look at Statement 1:
"Please come to the meeting with some out-of-the-box ideas that really push the envelope"
- Recall the types of writing style:
1. Expository 2. Descriptive 3. Persuasive 4. Narrative
ANSWER:
The whole question is a note (probably from the head of sales team) to members of the sales team in an organization. The writer is exposing them to the purpose of the meeting or topics of discussion for the meeting (expository writing).
The writer is also persuading the team members to brainstorm before coming for the meeting; so as to make important contributions.
In Statement 1, the persuasion of the writer seems more like coercion. The writer is persuasive but stern about the level or quality of ideas he wants to get at the meeting.
The writing style problem that is most apparent in Statement 1 hence, is the persuasive writing style.
