The answer is D. The author supplies a rebuttal that quotes more current research. He quotes two sources, an article from 2009 that argues that cell phones cause too many distractions (the counterclaim that he wishes to disprove) and a poll from 2013 that reveals that 67% of high school instructors now encourage students to use phones in the classroom setting. The second source serves as a counterpoint to the first, since it shows that high school instructors now view phones as a teaching aid instead of a source of distraction.
Answer:
I think homework is a helpful tool to understand and practice what we saw in class. I think so because there is not enough time to practice and assimilate the new information in the school. For example, during Maths, the teacher might only have time to explain the quadratic function, but not enough time for his students to practice different quadratic function exercises to comprehend the topic and check if they are struggling. This shows that homework is necessary for an effective learning process; therefore, I agree that homework is a helpful tool that helps students to understand and practice what we saw in class.
Explanation:
The TOPIC SENTENCE has to be at the beginning of the paragraph. In this case, it is "I think homework is a helpful tool to understand and practice what we saw in class."
The SUPPORTING INFORMATION has to follow the topic sentence, and it is there to prove what we stated with the topic sentence. In this case, the supporting information is "I think so because there is not enough time to practice and assimilate the new information in the school. For example, during Maths, the teacher might only have time to explain the quadratic function, but not enough time for his students to practice different quadratic function exercises to comprehend the topic and check if they are struggling."
The EXPLANATION has to be after we have presented our evidence. With the explanation, we can express our point of view and connect it with the supporting information. In this paragraph, it is "This shows that homework is necessary for an effective learning process." Lastly, we write the CONCLUDING SENTENCE, in this case, it is "therefore, I agree that homework is a helpful tool that helps students understand and practice what we saw in class."
Answer:
It seems like the teacher is the one who is late.
Explanation:
Misplaced modifiers are the modifiers that are misplaced or placed in such a way that they are far from the noun they intend to modify. In other words, modifiers placed away from the intended noun and seem like they are modifying another word are known as misplaced modifiers.
In the given sentence, the modifier "that was late" was intended for Keiko's project. But rather, it is placed next to the noun "teacher" making it seem like it is the teacher who's late. This is a case of a misplaced modifier.
Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
