Commander McKee checked the dials and switches in the shuttle cockpit and determined that they were functioning normally. He the

n tested the communications systems that connected his ship with the mission control headquarters. He checked the fuel gauges and saw that there was enough fuel for the months-long trip to Saturn. All of the other gauges and meters checked out normal, and the idling engines gave off a strong, reassuring hum. After a final glance around, McKee declared that the shuttle was finally ready for takeoff. He readied the brave astronauts under his command and the ground crew alertly awaiting the launch. The rocket took off and, racing through space, eventually arrived at Saturn, where Commander McKee and his assistants built the first successful human colony.

What kind of writing does the excerpt represent?
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

A passage from a novel

Explanation:

An excerpt represents not just a quote but a complete passage from a book. It can be a few lines taken from a poem or a novel.

Mostly excerpts are used for complete understanding of a piece of writing. It is easier to critically evaluate a piece of writing when it is broken down into excerpts and then expanded on. It enhances the understanding of the reader.

For example teachers might give a single paragraph to their students and ask them to expand on them and judge their understanding through it.
