Miranda sat in the high school computer lab typing like mad. It was 8:30 a.m., and her 1,000-word report on The Catcher in the Rye was due at 9:00. For the past hour, she had been flipping through the ratty pages of the old paperback trying to discern the major plot points and then typing out a few sentences that she hoped were logical. The only reason she was able to get into the lab that early was because she was one of Mrs. Brody’s assistants, but a couple of hours in the lab didn’t make up for weeks of zoning out in English class.Miranda could kick herself, but she was too busy skimming through her notes and attempting to remember something—anything!—that Mr. Giuffreda had talked about. Mr. Giuffreda was a tough grader, and Miranda did not work well under pressure—not a great combination. On top of all that, Miranda could hear her mother’s voice in her head: “One more bad grade in English, young lady, and no more soccer team.” Miranda failed to see the relationship between soccer and book reports, but she also knew her mother wasn’t kidding. When she had slacked off in geometry last semester, her mother had taken away her cell phone for a month. Another time, when Miranda had missed her curfew—again and again—she had gotten grounded for two weeks.Still typing, Miranda thought about Mr. Giuffreda. He expected nothing but the best—and then some. He never gave extensions unless someone had a family emergency, and he had a terrible habit of brushing off even the most creative excuses. Anyway, Miranda didn’t need an extra day or two. She needed time to read the entire novel again. Miranda ran a word count—361. She checked her watch—8:45. She flipped to the end of the book trying desperately to remember the ending, but nothing was coming to her. Why hadn’t she paid attention?At 8:55, she had a whopping, miraculous 402 words. The homeroom bell had rung five minutes ago, and students were filing into the lab for first period. Miranda’s fingers were still flying, but by 8:59, Mrs. Brody asked Miranda to leave so she could start class on time. Miranda saved her work on her USB drive, collected her pages from the printer, and slung her knapsack over her shoulder. Then she trudged down the hall to Mr. Giuffreda’s class as slowly as possible, even though she knew she would be late and would probably get detention.10Select the correct answer.Based on the passage, what will Miranda’s mother probably do?A. force Miranda to quit the soccer teamB. understand that Miranda tried her bestC. ground Miranda for the next two weeksD. find someone to tutor Miranda in English

Which sentence is punctuated correctly? A. He was tired, and it was late, it had been a long day. B. He was tired and it was late it had been a long day. C. He was tired and it was late; it had been a long day. D. He was tired and it was late, it had been a long day.

Answers

The answer is c. He was tired and it was late; it had been a long day. The semi-colon helps distinguish the two separate parts. The part where it says "it had been a long day" doesn't make sense if added by a comma.

Read the sentence. We went to Phoenix, which is the capital of Arizona. What is the action verb? to is went which

Answers

Answer:

went

Explanation:

In the sentence, there are only two verbs: went and is. Is, which comes from the verb to be, expresses a state or a condition, therefore it is not an action verb. In contrast, went, which comes from the verb to go, is an action verb because it expresses movement, it describes a physical action. Action verbs are those expressing mental or physical action like going, running, giving, thinking, talking and crying.

went because you are doing the action to go to Phoenix.
