(1) The Mona Lisa was painted by the famed artist Leonardo da Vinci in the early 1500s. (2) It is one of the world's most famous

pieces of art. (3) The painting shows a woman wearing a smile and dressed in black. (4) Although no one is exactly certain of the painting's subject, some historians believe it is Lisa Gherardini. (5) Gherardini was the wife of an Italian cloth merchant. (6) The painting is currently housed at the Louvre museum in France, where thousands of people visit it every year.
Claire decided to revise the paragraph by combining sentences 1 and 2 in this way:

The Mona Lisa, one of the world's most famous pieces of art, was painted by famed artist Leonardo da Vinci in the early 1500s.

Did Claire combine the sentences appropriately for this paragraph?

A. yes, because the new sentence shows the connection between the two ideas
B. no, because shorter sentences improve the quality of the paragraph
C. yes, because longer sentences make the author seem intelligent
D. no, because the information in the sentences is not related

List four things to look for when you're proofreading
dezoksy [38]

Spelling. Word choice. Consistency. Style. <span>

When you proofread (which is different from editing, by the way), you’ll really just be going over your writing for small mistakes/typos that may have slipped by you earlier in the writing process. Proofreading can be considered a type of “polishing up,” if you will, of a document before it is finalized. You’ll be on the lookout for little errors such as spelling errors and misused words/word choice—words that spell check may have missed because spell check generally only catches misspelled words, not correctly spelled words used incorrectly such as “their” when “there” should have been used or “two” when “too” should have been used. 

Additionally, when we are writing/typing, typically, our minds work more quickly than do our fingers. Thus, our fingers may miss words we intended for them to type. Too, our minds are such powerful things, if we read over our work too soon after typing, we’ll read our writing as we intended for it to be written, not as it actually is. 

Other things to look out for are consistency and style. When looking for consistency, it is important to make sure you are using the correct verb tense throughout because when speaking, we tend to switch tense for effect, and it is easy to let our speaking mannerisms find their way into what we are writing. 

On the topic of that, many of us often use clichés and figurative language when speaking, and this is something for which to be on the lookout when proofreading because we tend to speak figuratively in our daily lives so much so that when writing, we don’t even know we are doing it, and in academic writing, it is always best to be as literal as possible.</span>

What do the phrases "made man" and "making of a man" mean in the context of the story? Use evidence from the text to explain you
alekssr [168]
The phrase "making of a man" refers to the process by which a man becomes successful or prosperous, while the phrase "made man" refers to actually being successful. 
The phrase "making of a man" is used when Henry discusses Harris’s "humble feeding house." He says, "I was the making of Harris. The fact had gone all abroad that the foreign crank who carried million-pound bills in his vest pocket was the patron saint of the place.” When people find out that Henry, already known for having a million-pound bank note, breakfasts at Harris’s eating house, the restaurant’s popularity skyrockets. Earlier, Harris’s eating house had been "poor, struggling," but it became "celebrated, and overcrowded with customers" after London society hears that Henry eats there. 
The phrase "made man" is used when Henry is caricatured in Punch. He says, "Punch caricatured me! Yes, I was a made man now; my place was established. I might be joked about still, but reverently, not hilariously, not rudely; I could be smiled at, but not laughed at." Because he was mimicked so publicly, Henry becomes famous, and his good reputation is solidified.
