Explanation:

Although the prediction was one of heavy rain, there was no heavy rain and no flooding. Even so, the commentator talked as if there was one knowing that there wasn't.

Answer and Explanation:

The letter and presentation is the most challenging part of the publishing process, because that letter needs to convince the editorial team that the work you wrote has potential. This is because it is in the cover letter that the writer must show the summary of the story, the story as a writer and the relevance of the work in the current market, in relation to the target audience, sales and other elements that are not included in the synopsis.

Obviously, the work can be rejected by the publisher and although this is something sad and discouraging for the writer, there are ways to overcome this moment. Many writers indicate that new writers use rejection to improve their written history, keeping in mind that this is not the right time for publication, thinking positively and believing that the publication will arrive at the right time.
