The revision that exhibits the best word choice for the underlined portion is "riding without one is dangerous and reckless," as stated in option A.

<h3>What is a revision?</h3>

A revision is a correction, an alteration made to a sentence, paragraph or text with the purpose of improving its readability and comprehension. Here, we must revise the portion " because riding without one is stυpid."

The problem with that portion is that it uses an aggressive word to state an opinion. We must find an option that conveys the same idea without sounding so offensive.

With that in mind, we can choose option A as the best answer. Option B is still a bit biased and offensive. Options C and D do not convey the same idea.

Option A is the one that expresses the same opinion, but in a more polite manner: "riding without one is dangerous and reckless."

The complete question with the underlined portion of the sentence is:

"Always wear a helmet when riding a bike <u>because riding without one is </u><u>stυpid."</u> Which revision exhibits the best word choice for the underlined portion of the sentence?

  • riding without one is dangerous and reckless
  • riding without one is insane and regrettable
  • riding without one is an uninformed choice
  • riding without one is not right for you

1.Locate the pronoun and determine its case in the sentence.
MakcuM [25]

1.) "it" & nominative

"it" could be either nominative or objective depending on it's context in the sentence. In this case it's nominative because it acts as a subject.

2.) I have no idea ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯

3.) True

4.) "near the park" & adjective since it describes the location of the school

5.) "during class" & adverb since it describes when they play.

6.) coordinating conjunctions are your everyday FANBOYS

for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so

7.) You may have fried chicken for supper, or you may have roast beef.

This sentence contains two independent clauses combined by the coordinating conjunction "or" which is preceded by a comma. The last sentence option does this too, but the coordinating conjunction joining the two clauses just doesn't make sense with the context of the sentence.

8.) So idk much about interjections, but I think they're supposed to be used like this: "Ack—my cat is going nUts...aGAin." "Ack" is supposed to be the interjection.

The question is referring to a contrast so the proper phrase would be "on the other hand". This phrase means something along the lines of "looking at the other side" which refers to the other situation or event.In fact means giving a true exampleIn other societies means examples of ideas from other placesFor example is just giving an exampleHope this helped :)

Story with an twist (300 words)​
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Mysterious Stranger

Prompt: Write a story that includes the words sunscreen, camera, and tourist.

He really did look like a tourist, with a camera around his neck and a bottle of sunscreen sticking out of his tote bag.

The portly man sat on the terrace, sipping lemonade and pretending to look at a glossy cruise brochure. His sunglasses masked his eyes, but I knew he wasn't looking at the brochure: he hadn't turned a page for the last ten minutes.

As I brought him his clam chowder, he coughed up a "thank you" and looked at me briefly. I tried not to stare at the tiny scar across his left eyebrow.

I walked back inside with my empty tray, shaking my head. He looked familiar, but I couldn't quite place him.
