By reading only this passage, we can figuere out that she is talking to herself. She reviews her problems and concerns in her mind, she is making a reflection, that we, as the readers can visualize to know what's happening. The term "soliloquy" matches with this passage, it means: "A speech in a play that the character speaks to himself or herself or to the people watching rather than to the other characters."

There are not any hints that makes us think that she is speaking to someone else as she refers only to herself.

Why is it important to have a broad base and know a lot of things?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

You're getting more imaginative.

In the arts (and in business), there's a classic theory that the best things happen at the convergence of disciplines. You develop immunity to the "paradox of expertise" when you have a large knowledge base, where your advanced knowledge of one area clouds your ability to see new ideas.

Which of these sentences, taken from a personal narrative about Christopher Columbus, MOST needs to be revised to make it more f
klemol [59]

Answer:

D) Most people figured that Columbus discovered America, made friends with the Indians, and then told everyone else about this land.

Explanation:

Revision of any text or passage is need for a number of reasons, ranging from a simple grammar mistake to making the paper more precise, focused, structured, etc. The revision also allows for improved analytical skills, challenging one's own ideas, more strengthened argument, etc.

Among the given sentences, the one that needs to be revised is sentence D. Looking at the words used in this particular sentence, it is evident that the words are too informal, be it using<em> "most people figured", "made friends", or "told everyone else"</em>. They make the sentence too simple, too friendly, something one does with a close friend or relative. If these words are revised with words like 'most people believed', 'formed close relationship/ befriended', or 'revealed to everyone', then that makes the sentence seem more formal.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
