When I walked to the plate with the bases loaded, I knew the entire team was counting on me to come through. I took the first pi

tch for a called strike, then fouled off the next five pitches. With the count 0-2, I took a couple pitches well out of the strike zone, evening the count. The 2-2 pitch was a breaking ball, and I crushed it hard into the gap in left-center field, scoring two runs and winning the game for us!
If the writer wished to add a sentence between the first and second sentence of the passage in order to clarify the sequence and build tension, which of these choices would be most appropriate?

A) I knew the pitcher, but not very well.

B) This was my favorite game of all time.

C) My father later told me how proud he felt of me at this moment.

D) I could hear the fans roaring, and I knew everyone in the dugout sat with their rally caps in place and their fingers crossed.

Answer:

D) I could hear the fans roaring, and I knew everyone in the dugout sat with their rally caps in place and their fingers crossed.

Explanation:

The correct statement illustrates the scene between sentences one and two, by adding background information about what is going on at the moment. In that respect, the player goes through at a crucial time in the game and is having everybody's attention.

What makes Buck a good leader? How is he and even better leader than Spitz? Provide specific examples- at least two.​
kow [346]

Buck is a better lead dog because he displayed good judgment, intelligence, the ability to keep order, and the skill to make the team work as hard as possible. Spitz was a great dog and leader; Buck was superior even to him.

Buck's leadership skills are very strong. He has a knack for making the other dogs do their share of the work, and he is also a good teacher for the new dogs added to the team.

What human traits are suggested by the first stanza of the poem "the road not taken"
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The poem indeed is tricky.

The poem is writtern in first person which again raises a question whether the speaker is the poet himself or a character created for the purpose of the poem.

However the central theme of the poem is about making choices. The narrator comes to a split in the road and wishes to take both. Here the fork, the split signifies the choices that we have to make at some point or the other in our lives. One way looks as if it has been travelled frequently and is safer, easier route to continue. However the other one does not look like it has been frequently used and hence might be problematic.

He ends up by selecting the road less travelled and says that someday he will come back to travel the road not taken. Although he is quite uncertain of that possibility, yet he convinces himself to travel the road less travelled.He says that selecting that road has made all the difference to his life.

So the poet depicts the character of a person as-

Someone who thinks out of the box.

Someone who is renegade or a risk taker. What does not kill you,does not make you stronger.

A person seeking adventure.

Need of a challenge. The longing of the Frost to travel the less visited road demonstrates the need of a challenge in his life.

The philosopher Frost. The way he compares both the roads and feels sorry for the one he could not take. The sentence- ‘has made all the difference to my life’ says it all.

Hope it helps
