Then the second-graders line up for the thirty-yard dash and I don't even bother to turn my head to watch cause Raphael Perez always wins. He wins before he even begins by psyching the runners, telling them they're going to trip on their shoelaces and fall on their faces or lose their shorts or something, which he doesn't really have to do since he is very fast, almost as fast as I am.

Read the passage. Then explain how Raphael is characterized based on the way Squeaky describes him.

Answer:

Raphael believes in winning at all costs even if it means psychologically playing on the minds of his opponents before the race, despite the fact that he is very fast, though not as fast as the narrator.

Explanation:

According to the passage, Raphael Perez is a person that is a very fast runner but is also ready to psych up his opponents before the race begins by telling them they would trip on their shoelaces, lose their shorts and the likes and he would always win the race.

So, Raphael is charactrized as a person who loves winning.

Understanding texts with difficult words can be made easier by a study of all EXCEPT _____.
hodyreva [135]
The answer is entomology (choice B). Root words tell you the simplest word to find the meaning of, affixes are the additions to the root word that have a few typical meanings that allow you to adjust your definition. Etymology is about the origin of words, whether it is related to a place, or a person, or in a foreign language. However, entomology is the study of insects and does not help one understand word meanings.

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

The visitor sign-in sheet is used to keep record of who has entered and left the premises. During fire evacuation, it is important for company's Fire Warden to have the visitor sign-in sheet.

Therefore, option B is correct.

Reading good books can help you discover who you are and your values.
Margaret [11]

Parallel grammatical construction form means that each part of a sentence uses the same grammatical structure. It is also known as a balanced structure within one or more sentences of similar phrases or clauses having the same grammatical structure.

These are the Different kinds of parallel structures that we can make:

Synonymous parallel structures occur when the different constructing clauses of a sentence have a similar meaning.

Antithetical parallel structures occur when the different constructing clauses of a sentence have an opposite meaning.

Climatic parallel structures occur when a part of a clause is repeated in subsequent clauses within the sentence.

Emblematic parallelism is etymologically derived from the word emblem, which means "symbol." Parallelism occurs in poetry when lines are intentionally placed together to create comparison, contrast, or enhancement of a meaning.

Synthetic parallelism involves the completion or expansion of the idea of the first part in the second part.

The correct Revision of the faulty parallelism in the sentence is:


C. Reading good books can help you discover <u><em>who you are and what you value. </em></u>

The underlined section is where we find the parallel structure:

who<u> you are</u> = what <u>you value</u>

nadya68 [22]
Even though synonyms generally share the same meaning, they might not apply in the same context. So, if you want to use one specific word you should do that instead of trying to find a synonym that doesn't quite fit into the context you've established. An example is if you want to use the sentence "I was mad", meaning "I was angry", you could look for a synonym. One synonym is "absurd". However, this is a different type of mad, meaning crazy instead of meaning angry. "I was absurd" has an entirely different meaning than originally intended. This is why you should always double check the contextual meaning of the synonym you want to use.
