Irony.  They each gave up something for each other so it is funny but kind of in a sad way.

Which revision should be made to this paragraph? "Finally" should be added to the beginning of sentence 1. In sentence 2, "furth
anyanavicka [17]

This question is missing the paragraph. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the paragraph.

(1) Wordsworth believed that poetry should include emotional experiences, and his poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" includes several of these experiences. (2) Furthermore, the speaker encounters a field of daffodils that he describes as "jocund company." (3) Later, as the speaker reflects on seeing the cheerful daffodils, he says the memory gives him great joy. (4) The speaker realizes that the memory of the flowers provides a more powerful emotional experience than the experience itself did.

Which revision should be made to this paragraph?

-"Finally" should be added to the beginning of sentence 1.

-In sentence 2, "furthermore" should be changed to "specifically."

-In sentence 3, "later" should be changed to "therefore."

-"Moreover" should be added to the beginning of  sentence 4.

Answer:

The revision that should be made is -In sentence 2, "furthermore" should be changed to "specifically."

Explanation:

"Furthermore" is an adverb used to add information related to what was previously stated. However, it is inappropriately used in sentence 2. Sentence 2 is specifying one of the experiences included by the poet in his writing. It would be better, therefore, to use "specifically", since we are not really adding, but explaining in a more specific manner what was said in sentence 1. The change would be:

(1) Wordsworth believed that poetry should include emotional experiences, and his poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" includes several of these experiences. (2) Specifically, the speaker encounters a field of daffodils that he describes as "jocund company."

Rewrite the paragraph below correct the punctuation errors by adding or removing commas
ratelena [41]
Moving to a new place can be tough on anyone, especially if the move is to a new state. At the start if a new move, you may think that many things will be different in your life, and that nothing will be enjoyable ever again. Your surroundings may have to change. Your good friends and favorite activities, however, do not. You can still maintain your friendships through a variety of technological ways, which may include talking on a cell phone, writing an email, and seeing a friend on video chat. Technology can help you stay in contact and be up to date with everything that your friends are doing. You can even continue doing your favorite activities, which might include sports. Most towns and cities have their own teams, leagues, or clubs for popular activities, So, you really don't have to give up what you love to do. Knowing that your friends and activities do not have to change can help you be more open to the idea of moving.
