Answer:
Read the excerpt from the Fed Up website. Which statement opposes a viewpoint expressed in the excerpt?
I'm a single mother with three children in the public school system, and I'm tired of all this testing mania. I realize that teachers and students need to be assessed, but enough is enough already. I am against extending the school day for standardized-test tutoring. I work long hours and don't get to spend enough time with my kids as it is. I don't want them coming home just in time for dinner only to disappear into their rooms and do homework until bedtime. But I'm also against pulling students out of supposedly "nonessential classes" like music and art just so they can spend even more time on the so-called essential classes. I happen to think that music and art are essential, and I know my children agree.
Explanation:
Diction- Word choices made for tone and clarity (E)
- Diction is a writer's unique style of writing, especially his word choice or order
Transitions- Words that connect ideas and paragraphs (B)
- Some examples of transitions include and, in addition, next, last, etc...
Unity- Staying on topic in an essay or paragraph (A)
- Your ideas should be united, or on the same topic, to make sure your essay flows well. It wouldn't make sense if you jumped around from topic to topic.
Usage- Correctness of phrases and clauses (C)
- You need to make sure that you <u>use</u> correct phrases and clauses for your writing to make sense.
Syntax- The order of words in a sentence (D)
- There are three types of sentences: simple, compound, and complex.
If you're asking what an alliteration is, it a sentence or multiple sentences that have the same beginning sound recurring. example: Allen ate apples all day with the alligator.
Personally, i would write the sentence 4, 1, 3, 5, 2. Seems like the correct way to do it. Hope that helps you out a bit! ^.^
