(1) When I was little, Grandma always played with me. (2) She taught me how to dance, and she made beautiful clothes for my doll

s. (3) She was my special friend, but I had no idea just how special until I was in ninth grade.
(4) Since my family did not have much money, I knew I would never be able to buy a great dress for the school dance. (5) That did not stop me from dreaming, however. (6) Many nights, after I had finished my homework, I would sketch the "perfect" dress. (7) I kept all the sketches on my bedside table. (8) I guess I figured that was a good place to store impossible dreams.


(9) One Monday, Mom and Grandma agreed that we should start shopping for my dress. (10) I dreaded shopping for it; I knew I would face a big disappointment when I found nothing close to my "perfect" dress. (11) Nevertheless, we decided that we would shop for my dress on Saturday.


(12) That Friday night at dinner, Grandma seemed unusually cheerful as she asked, “What’s cooking, Natalie?” (13) When I replied, “Not much,” she sang out, like a happy little bird, “Oh, Natalie! I have a surprise,” and reached under the table to pull out a huge, flat box. (14) When I opened it, I gasped and burst into tears. (15) Grandma had made my “perfect” dress! (16) When I looked over, I saw that she was crying, too. (17) "I'm sorry," she said, now laughing. (18) "I was so worried it wouldn't be what you hoped for," she said. (19) "I love it," I said and gave her a hug.


Which of these best describes the main conflict that Natalie faces?


A. an internal conflict: her decision about whether to go to the dance

B. an internal conflict: her feelings about her grandmother's gift

C. an external conflict: her struggle to design a perfect dress for the dance

D. an external conflict: her inability to obtain a perfect dress for the dance


In sentence 12, Grandma uses the expression, "What's cooking?" How does her use of this expression help characterize her?


A. It hints at the gift she is about to give Natalie.

B. It suggests that she does not respect Natalie.

C. It shows that she is cheerful and informal.

D. It suggests that she is helpful and full of ideas.


Which statement best describes Grandma as the author presents her?


A. She is practical and quite stern.

B. She is helpful and generous.

C. She is funny and full of jokes.

Which statement best expresses the main theme of this passage?

-/ The Writing Process is:
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Taking Notes and Planning.

Explanation:

This is a difficult question to answer because it varies per person but I would assume that it's the taking notes and planning process since this is where you would have to re-read the passages or articles and find which topics would be the best to talk about. Once this process is complete, the writing and revision would come naturally since you have already planned what you are going to write about.

From “How It Feels to Be Colored Me”
Zolol [24]

Answer: C.  an exchange of dialogue between the speaker and the visitors.

Explanation:

In the second paragraph of this essay by Zora Hurston, we learn how the residents of Zora's Black American town of Eaton, Florida, treated Southern whites who passed through with indifference but treated the Northerners with awe and excitement.

A development to this paragraph would be an exchange between the speaker and the visitors so that we may better understand the awe and excitement that the Northern whites were greeted with.

Write a letter to your friend describing how you saved a child who was in danger<br><br><br><br>​
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Number 12 Aventon Street,

Birmingham.

September 15, 2020.

Dear Liam, how are you doing? I hope you're doing fine.

Man you would never believe that I became superman for 3 minutes yesterday as I rescued a child from an armed attacker.

Now, don't laugh. This is serious. It was a life and death stuff, yeah I know I'm scrawny and skinny but yesterday all those was replaced by cold rage and a sense of duty to save the young lad.

On my way home just past six in the evening, I saw a young teen arguing with an older boy about something, I decided to mind my business, when suddenly the bigger (and older) guy brought out a jack knife!

I acted without thinking, and I'm glad I did because it probably saved the young lad's life. I struggled with the attacker for a while, after he had already slashed the kid on the arm a few times, I overpowered him and with the help of some bystanders, we rendered him immobile. The police was called and they took the rascal away.

Well, enough of my three minutes heroics, hope you're having a swell time over there.

Have a blessed weekend, man.

YOURS FAITHFULLY,

Aaron Connolly.
