The answer is A: gazed at. The verb phrase gaze at replaces the verb watched in the sentence very well because Kimo was watching the waves in hopes of seeing something special. And gazing at means that someone is looking at something for a long time, in admiration and surprise, anticipating, expecting that something will happen.

To blink at - to ignore (something unpleasant)

To glare at - to look with anger

To look at - to direct your eyes toward someone/something.

"Today was my first time behind the wheel. My father was my instructor for the day, and he picked me up. We were reviewing road

Semmy [17]

This question is incomplete, but I was able to find it online. We are supposed to analyze the following three sentences and decide whether each sentence is written in a parallel structure. If not, we must correct the sentence.

1. We were reviewing road signs and practiced turn signals before we started.

2. I turned on the engine while instructions were muttered by my father.

3. I stepped on the gas, checked my mirror, and crept through the parking lot.

Answer:

1. Change "were reviewing" to "reviewed".

2. Change to "my father muttered instructions".

3. Correct as is.

Explanation:

For a structure to present parallelism, it has to repeat a certain grammatical form inside the sentence. Parallel structures are used to create consistency in a series of words and phrases and make thoughts and ideas easier to understand.

In number 1, we have two different verb tenses expressing actions performed by the same subject in just one sentence. While "were reviewing" is in the Past Continuous, "practiced" is in the Simple Past. The sentence lacks parallelism, but that can be solved if we change "were reviewing" to "reviewed", so that both structures will be in the Simple Past.

In number 2, the same sentence presents a structure in the active voice - I turned on the engine - and another int he passive voice - instructions were muttered by my father. We can make the structures parallel by simply changing the last part to "my father father muttered instructions," so that it can be in the active voice.

Number 3 is correct as is. All the verbs are in the Simple Past, and the structures separated by commas present an action and another piece of information that goes with that action.

Answer:

1. Which two passages are firsthand accounts? How do you know?

Passage B and C. These use the first person point of view.

2. Which passage is a secondhand account? How do you know?

Passage A. It uses the 3rd person point of view.

3. In Passage A, is the author’s perspective with regard to Lewis and Clark’s trip through the Rockies neutral or positive? Why?

Neutral. It is an objective account of the trip.

4. In Passage B, is the author’s perspective with regard to Lewis and Clark’s trip through the Rockies neutral or positive? Why?

Positive. The feeling of joy is positive.

5. How is the author’s perspective in Passage C different from that in Passage B?

Passage C is taken from an outsider’s perspective based on his observation of Clark and Lewis’ expressions and actions while B is a personal account of how Lewis felt.

Explanation:

1. Personal account uses the first person point of view. Passage B is the personal account of Lewis himself; while Passage C is the narration of the group. Both accounts were based on the actual experience.

2. Passage A is a secondhand account because it is a narration or description of somebody who did not actually experience the trip. It also uses the third person point of view as shown in the use of the pronouns "they" and "she."

3. The author's perspective in Passage A is neutral in the sense that there is no indication of any subjectivity such as the feelings of the persons described or author's himself. Also, the author did not include his own opinion about his subject. It is simple and direct.

4. Passage B is the personal account of Lewis. It shows a positive perspective especially with the mention of the word "joy" which is a positive feeling in response to Lewis' personal reaction to the beauty of the sight.

5. Passage C, although narrated in a 1st hand basis just like that of Passage B, is taken from the experience and observation of the other members of the journey. The expressions and feelings of Clark and Lewis are observed. There is also a mention of the description of how difficult the journey was.

In the context of the poem what does blue skin most closely mean? In the story masks

fgiga [73]

This poem is a She Silverstein poem called "The Mask." Silverstein's poems often teach a lesson or explain childhood situations. Often this poem is invoked with a meaning of self-acceptance "be your true self because there are other people just like you, and you'll never know that if everyone conceals their true ways of being." Sometimes, it is invoked to promote people being accepting of others, because we all have a version of metaphorical "blue skin." Taken yet another way, it can even evoke the meaning of shared knowledge or revealing a secret that is concealed. In the end, this poem underscores, self-acceptance, acceptance of others, and shared knowledge: openness in all of its forms. A beautiful poem and meaning.
