Answer:

Option B - Jamie loses her best friend.

Explanation:

Following through the narrative, we see the effect of peer pressure in play. Apparently, before Lynette turned 13 years old, Jamie used to be her best friend. However, since turning 13, she has gradually become more withdrawn from & the reason was because she was now hanging out with the 'Fab Thirteens'; the 'Fab Thirteens' were a group of folks who had clocked 13 years old. They excluded anyone who was 12 and below from joining their group; this was the reason why Jamie (the narrator) could not join the 'Fab Thirteens' - She was not yet 13 years old. As a result, Jamie loses her best friend, Lynette made evident by the statement "Gradually, Lynette stopped inviting me over after school" from the excerpt.

<u>Hence, the significant event described in this excerpt is that Jamie loses her best friend (Lynette)</u>

Answer:

Option B. The significant event that is described in the excerpt is that Jamie loses her best friend.

Explanation:

The excerpt from the story "I am Not Thirteen Yet" written by Amy Bernstein is describing the significant event in the main character's life, where she loses her best friend. As the excerpt begins, the character express how she and her best friend have drifted apart "Lynette stopped inviting me over after school". The character is overhearing a conversation between her friend, Lynette, and another girl, in which they discuss their plans for after school, which involve going to the Ice-cream shop, but it is clear that the main character is not being invited to join the group, which reinforces the concept that she and her friend Lynette are no longer close.

Which of the following is a traditional, and perhaps inaccurate or misleading
olga55 [171]

Answer:

A. Writing that is a product of a writer's imagination, and an invention instead of actual fact or history

Explanation:

Option A is the correct answer.

It is the traditional, and perhaps inaccurate or misleading  idea, of what nonfiction writing is.

Nonfiction writing is the type of writing that has to do with actual and factual events or situations that written to inform or inspire readers. Fiction writing is the writing that has to do with the imagination. It is usually unreal and non-factual.  

Saying that nonfiction is the writing that is a product of the writer's imagination is misleading and inaccurate.

"Fire distinguishes are generally colored redThis statement contains what aspect of language, speakers are asked to avoid?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The aspect of languages contained in the sentence which speakers must avoid is <em>Incorrect Grammar.</em>

Explanation:

The sentence reads -  "Fire<em><u> distinguishes</u></em> are generally colored red"

The correct sentence is - "Fire <em><u>extinguishers</u></em> are generally colored red"

Notice the error. The speaker says <em>distinguishers </em>instead of <em>extinguishers.</em>

The above is an example of grammatical error and must be avoided for sakes of clarity.

Cheers!
