<span>(2) Textbooks were effective in the pre-digital age, but now we live in a technology-based society, so schools need to "get with the program" and adopt a modern approach to learning.

That should be replaced because it sounds very modern and not formal enough within the style of the content of the paragraph.</span>

Essy about how should we use our hobby lies for future beterment​
motikmotik

Answer:

Explanation:

Hobby for future

Hobby is a term referred to something that we do during our free time , but not many people know that hobbies can also be turned into a key for a better future .

When you keep on doing something you get better at it . For instance if your hobby is drawing and you do atleast one drawing a day then you will eventually get better at it . Just like that practise can make us achieve anything. But to get better at something doing only practise won't help , you should also try to get to the next level at it . For example if your hobby is drawing then the next level for you is oil pastel drawing , poster colour drawing then painting . Just that way improvements should be done . Studies are not the only way to achieve success . There are many ways , and one of them is doing our level best in the field we are interested.

HURRY!!! Which words contribute most to the excerpt’s pace? ""imaginary"" and ""aside"" ""sash"" and ""swords"" ""slashing"" and
alekssr [168]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. Goemon jumped up. "Agreed," he said, jamming his "knife" into his sash and slashing at Manjiro’s "sword." Their imaginary swords clashed and clattered as they lunged or leaped aside to avoid being hit. Which words contribute most to the excerpt’s pace?

A. "imaginary" and "aside"

B. "sash" and "swords"

C. "slashing" and "lunged"

D. "Goeman" and "Manjiro"

Answer:

The words that contribute most to the excerpt's pace are C. "slashing" and "lunged".

Explanation:

<u>When we think of pace, we think of rhythm, of moving fast, slow, with regularity, with cadence, etc. </u>The words an author uses help readers feel the pace of what is being described more intensely. <u>If the characters are acting or moving fast, or if conflicts are developing slowly, the only way for readers to visualize that is through the author's word-choice. In the case of the excerpt we are studying here, we can say the writer establishes a fast pace through the use of the words  "slashing" and "lunged". Both words imply rapidity of movement, celerity, quickness and, for that reason, has the readers imagining the scene in a vivid, accelerated manner.</u>

Which sentence contains a misplaced modifier?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The answer is sentence number one.

Explanation:

Every word in a sentence has a meaning. Some of them modify the main word. Misplaced modifier is, as its name suggests, such a word modifying not the word its meant to, but a completely different word. Therefore it is misplaced in a sentence. This changes the meaning of a whole or a part of a sentence.

Having this in mind we see that phrase <em>a gold man's watch </em>from the first sentence has illogical meaning. So looking at this phrase we could interpret it as  a watch that belongs to a gold man, which is highly unlikely. Usually a misplaced modifier is corrected by simply changing the order of the words, which means that in this case the phrase should say: man`s gold watch.

Other sentences from the text do not have ambiguous meaning such this.
