Answer:

A) The article quotes experts and statistics to support the claim is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since Preston is writing an essay, there are many things to consider. One of the most important ones is the tone, so irony and humor might not be the best for this type of writing or for his goal (consumerism.) Even though it could be helpful to give an example, if the essay told the story of one family, this could be understood as one particular case and not the general situation, meaning it would not be enough to prove Preston's point. A question and answer format would not be the most proper for the essay, since it could limit Preston's ideas to what is asked in the question. A is correct because the writer wants to show a specific point and experts quotes and statistics are usually more specialized than the other options, or they are based on other previous studies and not on particular situations, helping Preston to give a more general idea of consumerism and its effects.

Write me a lyric poem about (the fear of heights) (at least 4 - 7 verses)
Annette [7]

Im afraid

although I like to mask my fear

I prefer to stand clear

tall buildings mountain tops

or simply just a roof

I imagine the worst

I tremble and even sometimes curse

it's very common to fear

but I prefer to not let my friends hear

as I feel they may make fun

I'd rather suffer instead of run

it may not come when you're young

climbing trees and riding rides

until you feel the fear

and then riding those rides may be hard

lots of courage to ride once more

Which sentence uses a transitive verb?
alexandr1967 [171]
With my school experience I would have to say B, because a transitive verb has to be an action verb and express a doable activity. An example would be: Sylvia KICKED Juan under the table.

A story which ends with the statement:better late than never
FrozenT [24]

The above question wants to assess your writing ability and your imagination, for that reason I can't answer it for you, but I'll show you how to answer it.

First, you need to keep in mind that your story must end with the sentence "better late than never." This means that you should think of a story where something very important and expected by the characters took a while to happen, but it happened after a long wait.

After that, you should write your story in three parts, according to the following steps:

  • Start: Introduce the characters and setting where the story takes place.

  • Middle: Present the character's goals and desires and develop interactions between that character and others, as well as interactions with the setting. It's important that in this part of the story, you show what element this character is hoping to happen.

  • Final: Show how agonizing this wait is for the character, but how rewarding it is on the day that element finally happens. Show how happy and relieved the character feels.
