In three to five sentences, explain the connection between sentence fluency and proper use of conventions.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1) The connection between fluency and the proper sentence is the use of the convention in punctuation. So the conventions which are on the surface of writing are the specialist usage of the judgment in the structure of writing. And the sentence's rhythm is the fluency and flow of languages, sounds, patterns, like the way that its used on book plays.

2) The purpose of informative writing is to focus on the facts like what something looks like, what it is, and what it is made of. It can also increase the knowledge of a concept or a subject. In the other hand, explanatory writing focus on how something acts, works, and why are things actually happening.

A is incorrect because that's not the point of a dictionary; B is incorrect because he doesn't even mention other dictionaries; D is incorrect because a dictionary cannot only list obscure words.

juin [17]

Answer:

“A Retrieved Reformation”

1. At the beginning of the story, Ben Price rightly thinks that the bank robberies under investigation are committed by Jimmy Valentine, because they bear his signature style.

2. Towards the end of the story, Ben Price's opinion changed completely.  Despite Jimmy Valentine's changed identity, Ben Price, correctly recognized Jimmy Valentine after the latter confirmed his true identity by unknowingly demonstrating his stylish ingenuity by opening the locked door.  Since, Jimmy Valentine decided to surrender himself for arrest, Ben Price must have concluded that Jimmy was actually a changed man, especially now that he had fallen in love with Annabel.

Explanation:

O. Henry, the author of “A Retrieved Reformation” published the short story in 1903.  The story narrated how an ex-convict, who was wanted for a series of bank robberies, suddenly repented and relinquished the life of crime because he had fallen in love with a woman.
