How does the author of "a relay race to remember" use foreshadowing to create tension in the story?

English

Answer:

The author uses foreshadowing to create tension in the story by not letting the reader know what decision is Malik going to make.

Explanation:

During the story, great tension is created while Malik limped more and more during the swimming tournament.

He was the captain and the best swimmer in the team. Despite being very hurt, Malik told everyone that he was in perfect condition, but in his mind, there was fear and despair as the story progressed. That feeling is also transmitted to the reader, wondering how the tournament will end and what will happen to Malik's ankle.

Finally, Malik's team and their rival are tied and have to break in a relay race.

Malik wanted the medal of that last race very much and not being able to swim made him really sad, but he recognized that he really couldn't swim in that condition.

The tense moment comes to an end when he decides to let his substitute swim. Sean, who took a great advantage over the rival team, established a new record and took the medal home.

Which possessive noun is written correctly in the sentences below?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

A. The baby's bottle was empty.

Explanation:

Possessive nouns are nouns used to show ownership, i.e. that something owns something else. In most cases, a possessive noun is formed by adding an apostrophe and <em>s </em>to the noun. If the noun is plural and already ends in <em>s</em>, only an apostrophe is added.

The sentence that contains a properly written possessive noun is sentence A. The bottle is owned by the baby. An apostrophe and<em> s</em> are properly added to this noun.

In sentence B, the apostrophe should be placed before <em>s</em> in <em>girls'. </em>If the noun was plural, it would've been correct, but it is singular.

In sentence C, there is no possessive noun.

In sentence D, the apostrophe should be placed before<em> s</em> in <em>mens'. Men </em>is the plural form of <em>man</em>, and the possessive form is <em>men's. </em>

is this sentence correctly written? Logos, the appeal to logic; persuasion that is backed up with actual observations, data, and
Anvisha [2.4K]

The message is understood but the sentence is not well written. You should write "Logos, that is the appeal of logic, consists of persuation backed up with actual observation, data, and facts". While the word Logos can be paraphrased as 'the appeal of logic', it is necessary to clarify the function of Logos in a text. With that purpose in mind, it is neccesary to separate the ideas of persuation from the paraphrase.
