I’ve never met a word 1 That couldn’t be replaced 2 With some captivating synonym 3 That just stared me in the face. 4 My friend

s call me a euphemism: 5 Mr. Big Vocabulary, 6 Because I make their simple words 7 more extraordinary. 8 When they say go forward, 9 I reiterate—“proceed” 10 When they say they’ve stuff for sale, 11 “merchandise,” they hear from me. 12 It’s not an obligation; 13 don’t misunderstand. 14 The right word’s always there (somewhere) 15 waiting patiently to stand 16 in a sentence or a paragraph— 17 perfection is the thing. 18 A guardian of language, 19 I make your statements sing. 20 I think it’s just good sportsmanship 21 to this notion, I subscribe: 22 that our words are exclamations 23 of the thoughts we wield inside. 24 And if I can be the bearer 25 of superior expressions, 26 then Warden of Vocabulary 27 is my chosen life profession. 28 In line 13, the word obligation means A) duty.

Lynn regularly works a 40-hour week and earns $9 per hour. She receives time-and-a-half pay for each hour of overtime she works.
melomori [17]

Answer:

$400.50

Explanation:

Calculation for her total pay for the week

First step is to calculate her gross pay

Gross pay=$9 per hour*40-hour week

Gross pay=$360

Second step is to calculate her Hourly overtime rate since we were told that she receives time-and-a-half (1.5)

Hourly overtime rate=1.5 0vertime rate*$9 per hour

Hourly overtime rate=$13.50

Third step is to calculate the number of overtime hours worked

Number of overtime hours worked=43 hours-40-hour week

Number of overtime hours worked=3

Fourth step is to calculate her overtime pay

Overtime pay=$13.50*3

Overtime pay=$40.50

Last step is to calculate her total pay for the week using this formula

Total pay=Gross pay+Overtime pay

Let plug in the formula

Total pay=$360+$40.50

Total pay=$400.50

Therefore her total pay for the week will be $400.50
