The perfect statement that best describes the passage is "<span>Fortune ever fair Kissed him and with such a lecherous affection He lost his head before he was aware." Which means that the main character had taken advantage of his fortune, and the hardwork he put up into. He led a life filled with mindless decisions which led the down fall of his pride and his fortune. </span>

A farmer named Hossack was struck over the head and killed by unknown parties, at his home a few miles out from Bedford.
stepladder [879]

The correct answer is: It can be proven using objective evidence.

To be<em> factual</em> is to use or consist of facts, meaning the information provided can be proven and its characteristics are not altered by external interpretations (opinions from others).

Just as facts, <em>objective evidence</em> can be proven by observation and analysis. Regarding the excerpt, it can be proven that Hossack was struck at the head by analyzing his corpse, and that the crime took place "a few miles out from Bedford" by visiting the crime scene.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The author couldn't follow his dreams because of the job market failure. He was an English major and wanted to be a writer but couldn't get the job. He tried for several months to get a job with no luck until he heard about an opening in a newspaper business. Nobody wanted the job so he took it. He didn't believe he could be a reporter because he never thought about it before. He wanted to write, not ask questions.

The failure of the job market shaped a motivator externally in the short story. If the job market was thriving, he would have probably found a writing job somewhere else instead of the reporter job he took. He would have never found his true passion for reporting with the failure.

Which list only contains personal pronouns?
BartSMP [9]

Personal pronouns is the same as asking for singular nouns or pronouns because they both express words that deal with just one person. Personal Pronouns has the job to replace a characters name with terms such as “he” or “she” so the name won’t be repetitive throughout the whole story or so the story may have a shorter format.

Personal Pronouns use words:

I, you, he, she, it, we, they, me, him, her, us, and them

However, there’s also 1st point of view, 2nd point of view and 3rd point of view pronouns that would be worthy of looking searching :)
