Can you send me a picture of the page in the story that has that sentence in it and then maybe I will be able to answer you
<u>Part I:</u>
- If you practised more, your english would improve.
- If I had a motorbike, it would be easier to go and visit my friends.
- If I lost all my money, I would feel miserable
- If I started writing poetry, My English teacher would be surprised.
- If Peter ate less, he wouldn't be so fat.
- If my little sister did something wrong, I'm sure she'd tell me
- If I were a famous model, people would see my photo everywhere.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<u>Part II:</u>
- I didn't wait another minute. I didn't see you.
- I didn't wait another minute because I didn't see you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<u>Explanation for Part I:</u>
- As the quote says, "<em>Practice makes Perfect</em>", [which is not true, but it does improve your ability to do such tasks]. The only one choice that has anything to do with practicing would be english, so "your english would improve." is your answer
- The sentence is talking about "<em>visiting friends</em>" which should mean that you must "travel" there. The only answer choice would be "If I had a motorbike...", because it is the only transportation answer choice there is.
- While you can feel miserable in many scenarios, "<em>If I lost all my money</em>" would be the only choice that would work out of the choices given to you, for it is the only inherently negative answer choice.
- Poetry is encompassed within the realm of the subject English, and so there can only be two choices: "<em>your English would improve</em>" and "<em>my English teacher would be surprised</em>". Since the sentence used "I", and not "you", "<em>my English teacher would be surprised</em>" is your answer choice.
- Being "fat" would obviously cause a negative reaction, and would be the effect of doing something negative. Being fat generally comes from overeating, and so "<em>If Peter ate less</em>" is your best choice. Also, note that it is masculine (Note: He), and so "<em>If Peter ate less</em>" is your answer choice.
- "<em>I'm Sure she'd tell me</em>" is the only answer choice for this regardless of if you did it out of order or not, because "sister" is a feminine term, in which you would use a feminine pronoun, or in this case, "<em>She'd</em>".
- "<em>If I were a famous model</em>", is the only one that works in here, because photo circulation generally only happens for famous people.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<u>Explanation for Part II:</u>
- Essentially, what it is asking you to do is to combine the sentence, but to also "keep it's meaning" (still make sense). The sentences given to you really means that the writer didn't wait because he didn't see his recipient, so your answer in combining is: "<em>I didn't wait another minute because I didn't see you.</em>", putting the action behind the reason.

Answer:
Casey at the Bat: A Ballad of the Republic Sung in 1888' is the full title of an American poem written by Ernest Lawrence Thayer. The poem tells the story of the final half-inning of a baseball game. The home team of Mudville is losing four to two. The first two batters for Mudville quickly strike out, but the following two get on base safely so that a home run will win the game for Mudville. The next batter is the team's star hitter Mighty Casey, whom the crowd believes will pull through.
In the poem, Mighty Casey gets two pitches right down the middle of the plate, but he passes them up, waiting for an even better pitch to hit. The crowd is in a frenzy because one more strike means that Casey is out and the game is over.
Mighty Casey sneers at the pitcher with determination, and the pitcher makes the third pitch. Casey swings incredibly hard, and the author notes that in other places in the country, people are happy and smiling -- but not in the ballpark because Casey has struck out to lose the game for Mudville.
is there more to this? such as multiple choices? if so i would love to help!
Most of the time, you'll want affect as a verb meaning to influence something and effect for the something that was influenced. The difference between affect and effect is so slippery that people have started using "impact" as a verb instead. Don't be one of them!
