Read Fatima’s paragraph.
Roman55 [17]

The sentence Fatima's teacher will most likely ask her to revise is "Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter."

<h3>What does Fatima need to revise?</h3>

To revise a text, we must pay attention to anything that stands out as lacking cohesion or coherence, any unnecessary repetitions, or any mistakes that may prevent readers from understanding the idea.

After reading Fatima's paragraph, we can see that there is one sentence repeating the same idea about the previous year twice: "Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter." This sentence sounds too informal, since it is acceptable in colloquial speech to repeat ideas as we talk.

However, written language should be more formal and grammatically accurate. For that reason, it is likely that Fatima's teacher will ask her to revise the sentence above in order to remove the repetition.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the first answer choice is the correct option.

This is the complete question with the missing answer choices:

Read Fatima’s paragraph.

Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter. At first, the snow twirled gently, lightly dusting the street, cars, and trees with snowy frosting. Then, the snow became a curtain, blinding my view so that I felt cocooned from the outside world. When the snow stopped, ice coated the trees and branches clacked like chαttering teeth.

Which sentence will Fatima’s teacher most likely ask her to revise?

Highlight all instances of parallel structure. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserv
Marat540 [252]

"If we wish to be free-if we mean to preserve", "if we mean not basely to abandon" AND "which we have been so long contending", "which we have been so long engaged", "which we have pledged".

Parallelism is the repetition of the same grammatical structure. There are two instances of parallel structure in this excerpt. The first is the "If we ___ to ___" structure. The second is the "which we have _______" structure. By filling the passage with this parallel structure is gives the sense of a list of reasons that all, compounding on top of one another, logically lead to the need to fight. The change from the parallel structures in the last line "we must fight!" makes this exclamation stand out and hold power.

How does Langston Hughes incorporate meter into his poetry?
Zielflug [23.3K]

He incorporates it to reflect a blues musical timing.

A signature of Hughes's poetic style is his meter. It reflects the rhythms of Harlem's jazz and blues during his time period, as well as black folk rhythms. Hughes's poetry is reflective of the African American culture in, not only its content, but also its rhythms.

The other two options are simply incorrect. He did not writing jingles for depression medication has nothing to do with how he incorporates meter. While the first does indicate the blues sound, it's not completely correct.

How does acceptance of responsibility influence effective communication
Mamont248 [21]

<span>One of the effective attitude is being  ‘responsible’ where the person owns his statements by saying ‘I’ in all the things he would say, instead of ‘we’. Example, ‘We don’t like the way you act a while ago.’ Change it to ‘I don’t like the way you act awhile ago’. Here, you are establishing ownership on the things you want to say to the person.</span>
