C. Asking clarifying questions.

Ramona first invites Anna to "discuss any issues or questions". Anna begins by explaining her thinking process. She tells her group what her first thoughts were about the theme of the article. Then, she explains how her thinking changed. She finishes by asking a clarifying question about the theme of the article. Her question is very simple and does not hold any bias. She's not asking rhetorical questions because she truly wants to know the answer since she doesn't understand. She is not asking research questions that would involve more work.

What might reasonably be assumed about traditional Japanese culture from this portion of the passage?

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The statement that can be assumed about the traditional Japanese culture is:

Option A: Dumplings are a common and popular food in Japan.

Explanation:

Culture mostly refers to the beliefs, values, customs, lifestyle, food and religion of a nation.

Dumplings is believed to be a very common and popular Japanese food. It is like an inseparable element from Japanese cuisine and identifies their culture. Momotaro mentioned that he had the best Japanese millet dumplings in his pouch given by an old man and woman.

Thus, the passage is not about the boys or animals. Neither it says that old couples are not trustworthy. It signifies Option A about the Japanese culture.

Read the dialogue given below and complete the paragraph that follows

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The blanks in the paragraph can be filled by using indirect narration of son and father's direct speeches.

Explanation:

Father asked his son (a) where he was going. The son replied (b) that he was going to his friend’s house. The father further questioned (c) if he had completed his homework. The son said that he would do it when (d) he would come back. The father disapproved of the son’s way to answer.

We have to make some changes in the reporting (outside inverted commas) and reported speech (inside the inverted commas).

For the purpose of simplicity, let's learn about rules relevant to only this task (paragraph).

Part A

i) Since the reported speech (inside inverted commas) is a question, we use asked instead of said.

ii) Since the person (subject) in the reported speech is second person (you) it will be changed according to object in the reporting speech (son). Hence you is changed to he.

iii) Since tense of the reported speech is past (we assume it so from the rest of the paragraph, and it usually is past indefinite), we will change the tense (present continuous) of the reported part and make it past (continuous) tense. (are going to was going).

iv) Since the statement is no more interrogative, question mark (?) at the end is replaced by full stop (.).

Part B:

i) Since the reported speech (inside inverted commas) is a reply to a question, we change said to replied.

ii) Since the person (subject) in the reported speech is first person (I) it will be changed according to subject in the reporting speech (son). Hence I is changed to he.

iii) Since tense of the reporting speech is past, we will change the tense (present continuous) of the reported part and make it past (continuous) tense. (am going to was going).

Part C:

i) Since the reported speech (inside inverted commas) is a Yes/No question, we use if/whether before the subject of reported speech in indirect speech.

iii) Since tense of the reporting speech is past, we will change the tense present perfect of the reported part and make it past perfect) tense. (have done to had done).

iv) Since the statement is no more interrogative, question mark (?) at the end is replaced by full stop (.).

Part D:

i) Since the person (subject) in the reported speech is first person (I) it will be changed according to subject in the reporting speech (son). Hence I is changed to he.

iii) Since tense of the reporting speech is past, we change will to would in reported speech.

Some common rules for changing persons/pronouns of reported speech when changing direct speech into indirect speech are;

Change first person of reported speech according to Subject or reporting speech.

Change second person of reported speech according to Object of reporting speech.

No change in third person of reported speech.

Here we get an acronym SON (first person according to Subject, second person according to Object, No change for third person).
