Usually, when you talk to your friends, you don't follow every grammar rule in the book. This is why spoken English is far more informal and flexible, giving room to slang. In the same way, with the exception of the first example, all the other sentences follow conventional Standard English grammatical rules. Only the first sentence shows a more conversational syntax (word order) being used. Therefore, the best answer is A.

On that note, we could infer that the first example sounds like how British speak, as they are known for their frequent use of tag questions.

In Fugard’s "Master Harold…and the Boys", Hally and Sam discuss who they would nominate as a "Man of Magnitude" (for example, Ch
sladkih [1.3K]

Firstly, to create the thesis statement you should select a person that you consider to be a 'person of magnitude'. For example, let's select <u>Mahatma Ghandi.</u>

Secondly, you need to write two supporting details for the thesis statement. This means that you have to <em>search information</em> about the person you chose, in this case, Mahatma Ghandi, and then select <u>two things that he has done that you consider to be what makes him a 'person of magnitude'.</u> For example, Ghandi was a very important figure in the Indian independence movement against Britain. Also, Ghandi was non-violent so he fought peacefully and that is why he is so well-known.

Finally, you have to use transitions in your text. You can learn more about transitions in the following link brainly.com/question/2372495?referrer=searchResults

In conclusion, you need to select the person and search information to create your thesis statement. Then, you have to write a coherent text using transitions and writing down the information you first selected.

At the end of “the chrysanthemums” elisa whispers, “that’s a bright direction, there's a glowing there.” Write an essay explaini
dsp73
"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.
