The description of the day as gray and wintry emphasize the narrator’s feelings about life in the new country in a sense that the day is cold and uninviting, like the people and their cities.

Answer: Option A.

zaharov [31]

Answer and explanation:

The interior story, as the name suggests, is the story within another story. In this passage, the frame story is the speaker, Kevin, receiving a phone call from Matt, a friend he hasn't seen in almost ten years. The frame story is the one that involves the interior story. The interior story begins with the line '"Kevin, come inside!" my mother called.' This line separates the current moment from the moment the speaker is remembering - he and Matt playing outside; Kevin's mother calling him in. There is another story being told now, one about the past. But it is told as if it were happening at this moment. We have, from this moment on, an interior story.

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.
