Read the excerpt from "Thomas Edison: The Master of Improvement.” It was this same stubborn resolve that made Edison’s lightbulb

more successful than Swan’s. Edison thought that the secret to a better bulb could be found in the filament. He
simply needed to figure out what type of material worked best. Edison tried metal first. Then he tried different kinds of wood, coconut fiber, and even the hair from a friend’s beard!
Which phrase from the excerpt best supports the author’s view that Edison’s determination helped him succeed?
A. made Edison’s lightbulb more successful than Swan’s
B. Edison thought that the secret to a better bulb could be found
C. needed to figure out what type of material worked best
D. he tried different kinds of wood, coconut fiber, and even the hair

the correct answer would be D. he tried different kinds of wood, coconut fiber, and even the hair because you see the word EVEN in between the AND and the THE, we'll the EVEN makes the sentence seem like the author is thinking that Edison  really wants to succeed.

So D) is the correct answer.

Hope I helped.

Answer:

A Wonderful Plan Allison and Nate

A brother and sister, live together in an apartment. They attend university in the same city, so they live together to share expenses. Their parents live in a different city, but they are visiting their children this weekend. In fact, they will arrive at the airport in about an hour!

Nate and his older sister talk about all the arrangements they made for their parents’ visit. “Okay, so we should go to the concert tonight, right?” Nate asks. “That is right,” Allison replies. “We are seeing the orchestra at 7:00pm.” “Are we going to the museum tomorrow, then?” her brother asks. “Yes, I reserved tickets for the special exhibition on mummies,” Allison says. “Are you coming with us or are you meeting with your study group?” “No, I am definitely going with you to the museum,” Nate answers. “I love mummies! All right, so we are picking Mom and Dad up in about an hour.” “Yes, I will leave in five minutes,” Allison says. Nate is confused. “What do you mean? We are both going, right?” “Of course not!” Allison laughs. “Look at this place! I was very busy making all the reservations and getting all the tickets. We did not clean at all!” “Oh no, you are right!” Nate looks at the messy living room and remembers all the dirty dishes in the kitchen. “What will we do?” “Do not worry, my dear brother,” Allison says, smiling. “You know I always have a plan.” “Is a cleaning service coming?” Nate asks. “Are Mom and Dad staying in a hotel?” “No, silly!” Allison replies. “No one will come to help us clean.” “Then what is your wonderful plan? What are we doing to get the apartment clean? Mom and Dad are arriving in just forty-five minutes!”

Now Nate will get really nervous. “Not to worry,” Allison reassures her brother. “I am driving to the airport to pick them up, and then we are all going to a new art gallery that just opened. We are taking a guided tour for an hour.” “How does an art gallery tour get the house clean?” Nate wonders. “That does not clean the house! Remember that you will stay here, little brother,” Allison says, giving him a hug before she walks to the door. “This way you will have lots of time! I will go out to have fun with Mom and Dad because I am a wonderful daughter, and you will stay here to clean the whole apartment because you are a wonderful son!”

Explanation:

Future tense is a type of verb that describes an event that is yet to happen, but expected to happen in future. One of the commonest examples of a future tense is adding the word "will" followed by the event. For example,  I will wash the plates later.

Read this excerpt from a play.
Degger [83]

The setting detail that reveals the celebratory mood is, "He looks around indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake''.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Celebratory as the name suggests, is celebrating one’s happy moment publicly. Celebratory mood is simply a feeling of happiness and pride. From the line, “He looks around indicating the streamers, balloons, and cake” we can clearly figure out Jesse’s celebratory mood.

The words ‘streamers’, ‘balloons’, ‘cake’ in itself are an indication of contented and cheerful moments being celebrate. When Jesse says ‘thank you all for coming, I’m so glad’, right after this statement the author describes the way Jesse is overwhelmed by looking at all the decorations.

16. Collaborative Conversation: How does McGonigal use claims, evidence, and reasoning together to produce an argument? w might​
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

She makes claims based on behavior that are easily visible today and based on historical facts. This provides evidence for the concepts she is claiming to be occurring. This relationship between statements and facts allows it to reason and create a concrete, correct and correct argument.

Explanation:

This question is about the article "Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World" by Jane McGonigal, where she makes a deep and plausible reflection on the increasingly real possibility of human beings exchanging real world we live in for the virtual world.

McGonigal makes a series of efficient and well-constructed arguments, full of affirmations based on historical and current facts. This shows how the author knows how to use reasoning in a timely manner, creating a coherent and fluid text.
