The correct answer is: B) Excuse me Mrs. Patterson, do you have a moment to speak with me?

This opening doesn't involve anything negative as the speaker asks in a polite manner to speak with Mrs. Patterson. By using a question the chance is given to Mrs. Patterson to accept or deny the invitation to speak. In this way she would probably accept it. All this without any sort of coercion.

In option A) a very short stateent is used, meaning that the speaker doesn't have time or doesn't want any type of kindness. There is probably some kind of problem that must be addressed.

Option C) shows that the speaker is very angry about something the receiver did. By using exclamation marks the anger is emphasized.

Lastly, option D) doesn't ask in a direct form for a response, it could be just a salute without any reply.

Death penalty debate
Lelu [443]
Is this an actual question or not? If it’s just a topic I think the death penalty is not fair and should be considered illegal in all countries. People make mistakes, and we as human beings know that they can change and become a better person. As i have recently read in English class, most countries are involved in the United Nations. The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights states that in one of the articles humans shall not be subject to cruel or inhumane punishment. Stories about mass murder or school shootings show up, but people should still get a life. Although we have to do something, so i think having a person be in prison for the rest of their life is STILL better than the death penalty imo.
