Using the dictionary definition, write one to two sentences explaining the meaning of “papyrus” as it is used in this sentence:

“These included government officials, doctors, and priests, as well as the scribes who did the actual writing on papyrus and stone.” (pa·py·rus [puh-PAYH-russ] n. 1: a grass that grows in the Nile Valley 2: a material for writing on)

Papyrus was used by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans in the way we use paper today. It was created with thin strips of the pith of the papyri plant.

Which sentence might be used to depict the voice of a young character?
LenaWriter [7]

The answer to your question would be that the sentence that can be used to depict the voice of a young character is the following one: We ran the cars and jumped in because we hated school.

I believe that this is the correct answer because of the word choices selected by the speaker. The verbs used are simple verbs of momevent (ran) or phrasal verbs (jumped in). Consequently, the tone is very informal, as opposed to the other sentences which make use of formal word choices adding a lot of description to the passage (eager to jump in our parents' cars, empty parking lot, bursting with excitement, dreaded school, glad to finally be leaving school).
