age that uses ellipses correctly.
One day, while at work in the coal-mine, I happened to overhear two miners talking about a great school for coloured people somewhere in Virginia.

I believe it would be the second passage because an ellipse is used when a word, phrase or thought is left out but the reader still understands the intended meaning. In choice two, the narrator is speaking of school and making a point that he had never heard of a school for coloured people and restates it at the end that this was the first time he heard of it. It lets the reader imagine what must be going through his mind without stating it in the writing.

Can you help me make a Constructed Response on The Way to Rainy Mountain

Here, boi, i just did this so you better be grateful

There are many examples in the book that language is powerful. An example of a powerful language is " A dark mist lay over the Black Hills ", I find this significant and powerful quote because of its descriptive images of the earth. This is an important example because the Kiowa people appreciate the land a lot.

Another powerful language example is “Your imagination comes to life, and this, you think, is where Creation was begun." This quotation is powerful because it says that you should let your imagination come from time to time, and that you should pay attention to what surrounds you so that you might learn something from them. This quote is significant because it pushes the theme of history to learn from your experiences.

<span> Another powerful language example is "They were called Kwuda, coming out." This piece shows the power based on how they were always ready for everything that was in store for them. It is significant because they are developing into a great tribe, and are growing steadily. </span>

<span>All three examples are powerful examples of language and show the importance of words used by a person.</span>

Use the meanings of the prefixes sur- and dis- to explain the difference between surmounted and dismounted.
leonid [27]
The prefix 'dis' means apart, away; that is to move away from something while the prefix 'sur' means over, above.
To dismount means to get off something or to remove a thing from its support. For example: The king dismounted the horse majestically.
To surmount means to overcome a difficulty or an obstacle. For example: 
All the political differences between the two countries were surmounted.
