What's the difference between vague and precise verbs?

English

m_a_m_a [10]3 years ago
5 0

The correct answer is Precise verbs are easier to imagine

Explanation:

Precise verbs differ from vague verbs because these refer to very specific actions or states. For example, the verbs "mutter" or "crawl" are precise verbs because these refer to very specific actions. On the other hand, the verb "move" is vague because this does not explain how the movement occurs. Moreover, precise verbs allow the reader to imagine precisely the action described, and therefore are easier to imagine and are more suitable to create precise descriptions.

If you were writing a research paper about wind turbines, which sentence from the passage would be irrelevant to your research?
dimulka [17.4K]

I believe the answer to your question is B) Over 5,000 years ago, ancient Egyptians used wind to sail ships on the Nile River.

this sentence from the passage would be irrelevant because it does not contain usable information on wind turbines as well as the fact that it is a time in history therefore it is irrelevant because you need information that is relatively up-to-date.

dedylja [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

I have trouble believing Mr. Sawicki's characterization of Steve, because he knows Steve only in school. Since Mr. Sawicki does not know Steve outside of school, he cannot make a judgment about what Steve has been doing in his neighborhood or who his friends are. Sawicki says Steve is honest, but even if Steve is good or honest in Mr. Sawicki's opinion, good people can still make mistakes.

What did you consider when you were writing your answer? Check all that apply.

what Mr. Sawicki says . what other people say . whether Steve is guilty or innocent . what Steve has said

Answer:

what Mr. Sawicki says

Explanation:

The answer shown in the text above was created considering only what Mr. Sawicki says about Steve. The answer states that Steve's characterization through what Mr. Sawicki says is not reliable. That's because Mr. Sawicki doesn't know Steve fully and only knows his behavior in one place, at school. Mr. Sawicki does not know anything about Steve and does not even know how he behaves outside of school, so he cannot say that Steve is honest. In other words, Mr. Sawicki's speech is imprecise, it lacks evidence and therefore cannot be trusted.
