Answer:

A. Staccato

Explanation:

Staccato sentences are short sentences that seem detached or separated from one another as they are abruptly disconnected. Writers or speakers tend to use this type of sentences often to break up the text of a piece of writing, to disrupt an event or emphasize the importance of a statement. This is exactly what the sentences from the excerpt shows: the author uses short sentences that do not have continuity (there are no conjunctions nor linking words to connect one sentence to the other), however, by putting the sentences in this way, the author also puts emphasis in the actions occurred in the scene.

How does William's story demonstrate the power of education and perseverance?
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is not full as it is missing the story. The story in question is the one of William Kamkwamba, <u>Malawian boy who had to drop out of school due to the poverty of his family, but who managed to learn how to build a windmill and provide electricity and water for his home.</u>

William managed this by going to the library on his own, even when he dropped out, and reading the physics books. He found a specific book on how to make energy through the windmill and, on his own, he managed to make it out of the scrap yard materials (bicycle frame, a tractor fan, PVC pipes, etc.) In the end, he provided what his family needs, became famous and got a chance to travel and experience more because of his achievement.

<u>This story teaches us how important it is to </u><em><u>educate ourselves</u></em><u>, even if it seems we don't have the chance. Even on our own, we can learn things that can be valuable, sometimes even life-saving. William thought himself all of this on his own. That is his power of </u><em><u>perseverance </u></em><u>– he did not give up when he had t drop out of school or when people though he is crazy. This made him only more determined to learn and do something. </u>

<u>The lack of money, formal education or material did not stop him; William thought himself what he needed to help his family and home for a better future. That is why at the end of his speech he sends a message especially to people in Africa who are in a similar position as him – to never give up, to always try and to push their dreams to the maximum.</u>

Which sentence uses adjectives and adverbs​ correctly?  
Viktor [21]
The correct answer is <span>B. A customer who has fewer than ten items may use the express line.  
A is incorrect because it should be "I can barely hear," and not "I can't barely hear;" C is incorrect because it should be "fewer" credits, and not "less" given that credits is a countable noun; D is incorrect because it should be "She scored well on the quiz" given that you should use an adverb rather than an adjective after a verb.
