According to the grammar rule regarding numbers, when a compound number is written out, or a fraction is used as an adjective, these should be written using a hyphen between its components. In this case, our support is the latter as <em>one-third</em> is a fraction and not a compound number.

Therefore, your best answer is option C.

Short answer:

  • It hurts Waverly when her mother tries to make it look better, so she does not like it.
  • The best torture is not about physical pain; it is about mental torture.

Explain and support your ideas/claims with text evidence.

Her mother does her hair. It can be seen in the discussion. Her mother "twisted and yanked on my thick black hair until she formed two tightly wound pigtails" in the morning. Waverly hated it when her mother did her hair. This text shows Her mother twists and yanks her hair into tight pigtails, indicating she was upset with her hairstyle. She disliked her mother's hairstyle.

"We do torture. best torture. "

Understanding the meaning of a lesson is less important to me than learning it. Throughout the story, Waverly uses a number of methods. It was not the "best torture." Torture does not have to be painful to be effective. Tormenting someone's mind requires great pain. Because he is mentally tortured, Waverly is good at chess. So, her mother was correct when she said that "We torture people all the time." It is the best thing that could happen. " "We do torture." "The best torture," she says, without referring to physical pain. For her, the best way to torture someone is to make them feel bad about themselves. The best torture.

Which word supports the meaning of decay? Round Colossal Wreck Bare
s2008m [1.1K]

The answer is <u>WRECK</u>.

As a noun, 'decay' is the state of gradual damage or decline in strength, soundness, or prosperity, that is to say, of becoming worse. Similar to the noun 'wreck' that is the state of being damaged, disabled, in ruin or dilapidation.

The other words do not support the meaning of 'decay', because 'colossal' refers to something extremely big, 'bare' is something/someone without any clothes or not covered by anything, and 'round' is something shaped like a ball or circle, or curved.

Can you think of a time when you successfully use a logical argument to persuade someone or something
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

When I told my brother to take a shower cause he stank. Keep in mind he had not showered for 6 days straight. He argued he didn't but I told him he's gone nose blind from smelling his own stink all day. Hee wouldn't know. So, to test it, he ended up taking a shower. Since he washed all of the stink off his body, he didn't actually smell how bad he was before he showered until went back into his room. He smelt his preshowered stank throughout his room and that's when he admitted that he was wrong.
