English

Sedaia [141]3 years ago

<u>Answer</u>:

"A: Cody is laughing " is an inappropriate shift in the verb tense in the given sentence "Cody is laughing at Megan's joke when suddenly the phone went dead,  He tries calling her back, but she is not answering."

<u>Explanation</u>:

The reference of the sentence is that Cody was laughing at Meghan’s joke, i.e. something happened in the past and the phone went dead. Now, when he is trying to call her back, she is not answering. The second part of the sentence when Cody is trying to call her again and she not answering is in present tense, so options B and C are in correct verb tense. Option D is also correct, because action happened in the past, so ‘went’ is used in “phone went dead”.

Incorrect verb tense is “Cody is laughing” as this action happened in the past and it should be “Cody was laughing”.

You can find those at Prime Writing site.   Eating a meal, any meal, reliably makes an animal, any animal, calmer and more lethargic. This means humans, too. Hunger makes animals alert and irritable, which explains why couples always fight about where to eat dinner. This emotional response encourages the animals to find food. "Poor mood and poor eating can become a vicious cycle in that if a person isn't eating properly, they can experience a drop in mood, and this drop in mood can make them not want to eat. If someone is constantly missing meals and constantly experiencing this stressor, the response could affect their emotional state on a more constant level.

"Which of the following statements about making your writing fun to read is correct?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The conversation you write must sound natural for the characters.

Explanation:

More natural conversations between characters make your writing more fun to read. Reading a dialogue that sounds like it could actually happen engages the reader, and creates an investment in the characters themselves. Think of it this way, would you rather watch a movie with good acting or bad acting?

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
Mila [183]

Answer:

New York is a vibrant, very diverse city.

Explanation:

In the first option, it is not right to use both a comma and "and" to connect a two-element list of modifiers ("vibrant" and "very diverse"). In the second option, a comma should not be isolating the adverb "very" from the adjective it modifies (diverse). Only the third option is properly punctuated.
