I think the most important element of a story is the plot. To me the plot is what makes the story intriguing and fun to read. Without a plot I would personally find the story boring and wouldn’t want to read it.
The part of speech is conjunction.
It should be moved to the beginning of the sentence, that means, that it should be placed before "The motorcycles raced" (option A).
Explanation: "down the track" is a prepositional phrase. All prepositional phrases have no verbs nor subjects. These can be used as adjectives or adverbs. They can be placed either after the verb and at the begining of a sentence. When placed at the beginning of a sentence, it sounds more formal than the common structure composed of 'subject + verb + predicate' and this construction has to be followed by a comma.
In this case, the answer would be:
'Down the track, the motorcycles raced for the prize'.
Answer:
Someone who is from the West and whose parents are from the West.
Explanation:
In Gary Sato's <em>Like Mexicans</em>, he tells the story of how his parents and family want him to marry a girl from his own race and ethnicity. They seemed to emphasize the importance of marrying within the same 'race', which he also tries hard to obey as far as he can.
In the given passage, Gary mentioned his best friend Scott as <em>"a second-generation okie"</em>. And like he mentioned in the beginning of the story, and according to his grandmother, <em>"everyone who wasn't Mexican, black or Asian were Okies"</em>. So, though Okie is a term generally used to refer to a resident of Oklahoma or a native of that place, Sato used this term as a generalized term for anyone from the West and whose parents are from the West.
