Friday, October 1


Something really upsetting happened at Fabric Mart today. Laura Clarkson was showing me how to complete a refund transaction, and I asked her a respectful (I thought) question about why the company does it that way. She got all snippy with me and said “Never mind, I’ll just do it myself.” There were no customers around, but some of the other employees heard her. She even made eye contact with Liz Mendoza and rolled her eyes. I felt really hurt and shocked by Laura’s tone. It’s not like I was trying to be rude to her or anything. All I want is to understand the process, and it helps me to ask why. Besides, the company says it is open to new ideas, and maybe there was a quicker, easier way to process a refund, I don’t know. If I don’t ask questions, how do I find things out? But she acted like I was either trying to get out of doing it, or criticizing her expertise, or something. I know she doesn’t have an attitude like that when our boss is around. In fact, she acts really cool if Fran is there. I tried to tell Laura that I would be happy to practice doing the refund her way, but she said “Never mind,” again, all huffy. Then she ignored me the rest of the day. I mean, how am I going to learn how to do basic stuff at Fabric Mart if I can’t get her to answer my questions because she is offended for some reason I can’t figure out? To make it worse, after work in the break room she loudly (and I mean in a really loud voice) announced that she was going to Sushi City for happy hour. Then she looked at each individual person

Writers use metaphor and analogy

A.
for the same purpose.
B.
infrequently.

D.
for different purposes.

Answers

Answer:

For the same purpose. (FYI, a metaphor is an analogy)

Explanation:

An analogy, as opposed to a metaphor, employs recognizable physical language and imagery to clarify a notion. The use of recognizable phrases aids in conveying the writer's point. Analogies function effectively in literature to illustrate a topic without distracting the reader from the plot.

The answer is infrequently (B)

misspelled words.

B.
poor organization.

D.
​subject-verb agreement.


Writers look for errors in punctuation during the editing​ stage, not the revising stage. Remember that writers focus on form and content when​ revising; look for an option that reflects this definition.

Answers

Answer: B. poor organization

Explanation:

I would say that B is correct

One sunny day a few years ago, I was out riding my road bike with my Aunt Natalia, a tri-athlete, and some of her training partners. We were riding in a single line at a fast pace on a country road with a nice wide shoulder. Every couple minutes the lead rider would pull to the side and drop to the back of the line. Slowly and inevitably, I was working my way from the back to the front of the speeding line of cyclists. When my turn came to take the front of the line, I didn't want to slow the pace and seem like a weakling. I dropped my head and concentrated on keeping my legs spinning fast. The effort on the front of the line seemed twice as hard as it had in the back. I knew I only needed to stay on the front for about a minute, but my legs felt drained immediately, and I began gasping in the humid air.Suddenly from behind I heard, "Glass!"I looked up and sure enough several broken bottles littered the road ahead. I stared helplessly as my tire headed for a sharp shiny shard of amber. I couldn't take my eyes from the danger ahead. I felt a slight bump and heard the horrible sound of air released from a high pressure tire. The next thing I knew I was in the grass off the shoulder of the road, legs tangled in the frame of my bike.That afternoon I learned a valuable lesson about bike riding and about life. No, I didn't learn to "Look where you are going," though certainly that may have helped me that day if I had seen the glass soon enough. In fact, what I learned was something completely different than, "Look where you are going."After Natalia had made sure that I wasn't hurt in any significant way, she asked me what had happened. I explained to her that when I looked up all I could see was the piece of bottle ahead of my tire.She stopped me there and said, "Always remember, the bike goes where you are looking. If you could have looked beside the piece of glass, your tire would have missed it and you would still be riding."From that day forward I have lived by that advice: "You go where you are looking." That advice has helped more in life than on the road, though certainly I haven't run over any more little pieces of glass with my bike. From that day, I have kept my focus on my goals rather than on those things that stand in my way.

Which ,begin emphasis,best,end emphasis, describes the purpose of the entire speech?Answer options with 4 options1.to persuade listeners not to litter2.to share a sports story with listeners3.to inform listeners how tri-athletes train4.to reflect on a life lesson with listeners

Answers

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

They were considered traitors because of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The government became worried that citizens of Japanese ancestry would act as spies or saboteurs or otherwise pose threats like espionage against America. At the time, nearly 120,000 people fell into this category. Around two-thirds of that number were full-fledged citizens (born and raised here) of the United States. But, anti-japanese propoganda that caused fear and suspicion among the public encouraged the Roosevelt administration to forcibly send them away from their homes (across the country) to the internment camps.
