Read the following short excerpt of student writing. Use your vocabulary and grammar knowledge to determine which suggestions you would make to improve his or her grammar and word choice.

I really thought she loved me but I discovered her grave betrayal one afternoon. It was easy to figure out because she accidentally sent a text to me that was meant for him. I was confused by the text because it said, “Don’t tell Mike.” I felt insulted that she thought she could get away with this infidelity. At first I felt very angry bitter and hateful but then I felt so hopeless and depressed. I longed for her to call me. I thought if I could just hear her pleasing voice, maybe then I would not be filled with such bitterness. Instead of calling her I talked to another friend who is good at listening and feeling my pain. Talking with her makes me feel euphoric. I think I may be on the road to recovery.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1- Mark had a gift for EMPATHY; he seemed to be able to relate to anyone’s pain and sorrow.

Empathy is the ability to perceive, share and understand what another being can feel, worrying about other people's experiences.

2- Over the summer, many people plan to travel to exotic places, and play at the beach.

This sentence is correctly puntuated, as the commas are placed in the correct spaces, separating different ideas into the same sentence.

3- In the extract the word I is used too many times, which ends up being repetitive. It could go from active voice to passive voice to avoid repetition.

4- Being "is good at listening and feeling my pain" the underlined words, the word I would use would be EMPATHETIC.

5- A synonym for “faithfulness” is FIDELITY

6- I never thought I would have to write and deliver the EULOGY of anyone, let alone my best friend.

1. The pitcher, cradling the baseball in his mitt, sized up the young batter at the plate. Which of the following statements about the sentence is true? a. The sentence needs commas because the participial phrase is essential. b, The sentence needs commas because the participial phrase is nonessential. c. The commas should be removed because the participial phrase is essential. d. The commas should be removed because the participial phrase is nonessential

Answers

The statement about the sentence that is true is B. the sentence needs commas because the participial phrase is nonsessential. Nonessential phrases, unlike essential ones, are not that important in a sentence, and can thus be easily removed without changing the meaning of the sentence drastically. They are always set off from the rest of the sentence by commas, whereas essential phrases don't have commas around them. Here, the nonessential phrase is cradling the baseball in his mitt.

The answer to your question would be that the statement about the sentence that is true is the following one: The sentence needs commas because the partipial phrase is nonessential. That is, the correct option would be B.

Participial phrases can either be essential or nonessential depending on the type of information they add to the sentence. A participial phrase is essential when the information it provides is essential to the meaning of the sentence and therefore no commas are used. If the essential participial phrase was removed, the meaning of the sentence would be altered. On the other hand, participial phrases are nonessential when they provide nonessential information to the sentence. They are set off with commas and can be removed from the sentence without altering its meaning.

Hi

Answers

The reader most likely had difficulty thinking of a bat as a character (option C) when he began reading the book, according to paragraph 5.

What is the difficulty in paragraph 5?

According to paragraph 5 of the book review, a backyard bat is an "abnormal" character. "Abnormal" is the opposite of normal, which means readers would have difficulty accepting it as a character in a book. However, as the author explains, although difficult to accept at first, the bat does become an interesting character as the story develops.

With the information above in mind, we can select option C as the correct answer for this question.
