I don't really want to go to that graduation ceremony, Mom. I don't care about Brenda's graduation at all. He won't stop repeating what a great class they were and that they have a great future to go. It's annoying, Mom. - Tommy said-

You've got to go, Tommy. - Mom said - Brenda will be sad if you don't go.

Explanation:

The original conversation shows the use of more formal vocabulary and structure, in the provided answer some of the words and expressions were changed by more popular ones without going to the full opposite by presenting a totally informal conversation all covered with slang words.

Popular words are considered "natural" in spoken English.

Which underlying theme of the novel The Displaced Person by Flannery O’Connor is evident in these lines?
Anon25 [30]
<span>If you look at the title of the novel, it already gives you a hint that it's about a person who had to chance places, move from one place to another and presumably misses their home. The mixture of languages - the old and the new one -show the loneliness, as she probably can't communicate to anyone, since her sentences are unintelligible to other people - so the correct answer would be D. </span>

Which excerpt from "Object Lesson, Part 2" would most likely cause reader uncertainty?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled, "Object Lesson," which was written by<em> Ellery Queen (a pseudonym). </em>

The story centers on the character of Ellery, as he was called by Miss Carpenter to have a speech in class regarding<em> "Notorious Criminals I Have Known." </em>This came about when Miss Carpenter knew that three of his students in class were responsible for a juvenile crime she witnessed. However, on the day of the speech, Miss Carpenter noticed that <u>someone stole her $7 inside her envelop.</u>

As Ellery was searching the different places where the suspect might have placed the $7, "<em>Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white." </em>This causes uncertainty on the reader because<u> it doesn't give a clear sign whether the money will be found or not</u>.

Louise Carpenter's action shows that she is <em>"anticipating to be let down."</em> This means that she, somehow, figured out that <u>Ellery won't be able to find the suspect and money because they only have a few minutes left</u> <em>(4 and 1/2 minutes, to be exact)</em>.<em> </em>
