The old man hung his head for a moment in thought. Then he stood up and stared at me. “Friend,” he said, “I do not like to have

you speak to me in that manner.” I kept still and let him have his say. “I know these Americans are good people, and that is why I have agreed to sell my house to them. But I do not care to be insulted. I have agreed to sell my house and land for twelve hundred dollars and that is the price.”
I argued with him, but it was useless. Finally he signed the deed and took the money but refused to take more than the amount agreed upon. Then he shook hands all around, put on his ragged gloves, took his stick and walked out with the boy behind him.
—“Gentleman of Río en Medio,”
Juan Sedillo

AnnZ [28]

"To try to write certain sentences is difficult"

The correct statements are 1, 2 and 3.

1) The sentence is correctly written. The pattern "to try to do something" is correct and can be used.

2) The sentence contains more than one infinitive. It contains two infinitive verbs. TO TRY and TO WRITE.

3) One infinitive is inside another infinitive phrase. "To try to write certain sentences" is an infinitive phrase, it functions as a noun because it is the subject of the sentences. So, the second TO INFINITIVE is inside the main infinitive phrase. (That is the reason why number 4 is not correct)

Read the excerpt from Elie Wiesel's All Rivers Run to the Sea.
Anna [14]

Answer:

the rationale for the Holocaust will always be incomprehensible.

Explanation:

In the excerpt from "All Rivers Run to the Sea," the author Elie Wiesel strives to make sense of the traumatic impact of what he experienced during the Holocaust. In that matter, he describes the brutality in Birkenau and comes to the conclusion that none of the survivors can work out a logic reason for all the deaths and suffering.

Which of the following is the best advice about the use of direct quotations in a report?a. Beware of overusing quotations becau
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The best advice is: a. Beware of overusing quotations because you may appear as if you have no ideas of your own.

Explanation:

If you use too many quotations, there is a risk of writing a paper that is a compilation of someonelse's work, and since the paper is yours it should include your own ideas backed up (if necessary) by the words of a relevant author. When teachers correct essays they are interested in seeing you in the paper, and not only other authors, because they have to give you a mark, they already know what Freud, Dessasure, Lacan, Einstein think.

Option B: not possible because you should never change what you include between inverted commas, these are there to show that you are writing someonelse's words, if you change them it would seem that your words are the author's words.

Option C:  not possible because if you don't summarize or introduce a quotation with your own words, then your paper would be a comilation of someonelse's words. Of course, you should always be clever about what information is better to write with your own words and which one not.

Option D: not possible because it would be impossible to write a paper without quotes; quotations from other authors give reliability and credibility to your work.
