"Hello I am Student's mother,” said the mom. “Is there anything I can do to make Student want to study more?”

“Yes,” said the principal. “You can motivate student with prizes and rewards, such as more screen time, an extra dessert, etc.”

“What if this doesn’t work?” asks the mom.

“Well, then I can have the teachers motivate your child to work harder,” suggested the principal.

“Ok, I will do my best to do my part, and you can do your best to do your part,” the mom suggested hopefully.

“I am a very busy person, but I will see what I can do about this situation with Student,” assured the principal.

“Thank you so much!” exclaimed the mom. “This was very helpful and will most likely work on my child.”

“No problem,” replied the principal. “If you need help in the future you can just ask me.”

“I most certainly will,” said the mom.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

This question is incomplete. Here´s the complete question.

The night dragged on with an endless, bitterly cold routine of pumping, steering and working the radio. We were getting no replies to our Mayday Calls - which was not surprising in this remote corner of the world.

Sue's head had swollen alarmingly; she had two enormous black eyes, and now she showed us a deep cut on her arm. When I asked why she hadn't made more of her injuries known before this, she replied, “I didn't want to worry you when you were trying to save us all."

The word "enormous" refers to something quite large.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. is a complete analysis and telling of the life story of a person who is not

Viktor [21]

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

1. _______ is a complete analysis and telling of the life story of a person who is not the author.

A. An autobiography

B. A memoir

C. A biography

2. A memoir is a compilation of ________ about moments or events in the life of the author.

A. fabrications

B. memories

C. facts

3. However, the information provided in both the works is supposed to be ________.

A. fictitious

B. factual

C. complex

Answer:

1. C. A biography is a complete analysis and telling of the life story of a person who is not the author.

2. A memoir is a compilation of B. memories about moments or events in the life of the author.

However, the information provided in both the works is supposed to be B. factual.

Explanation:

A biography tells the real story (the facts) about someone's life in chronological sequence. However, the author of the biography is not the person who the biography is about. For instance, if I write a complete analysis of my mother's life, I will be writing a biography. On the other hand, if she does it, it will be an autobiography.

Unlike biographies, a memoir tells someone's life facts in a more colorful way, approaching the writer's emotions and understanding of events.

Still, both the biography and the memoir have to provide factual information. The author cannot fill in the gaps between the person's life events with something he/she imagines that could have happened. That would be fiction. Biographies and memoirs are supposed to recount facts.
