Which statement in this excerpt from Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby shows that the author learned to have high expectations in life

only after he went to a football (soccer) game?
I'd been to public entertainments before, of course; I'd been to the cinema and the pantomime and to see my mother sing in the chorus of the White Horse Inn at the Town Hall. But that was different. The audiences I had hitherto been a part of had paid to have a good time and, though occasionally one might spot a fidgety child or a yawning adult, I hadn't ever noticed faces contorted by rage or despair or frustration. Entertainment as pain was an idea entirely new to me, and it seemed to be something I'd been waiting for.

It might not be too fanciful to suggest that it was an idea which shaped my life. I have always been accused of taking the things I love - football, of course, but also books and records - much too seriously, and I do feel a kind of anger when I hear a bad record, or when someone is lukewarm about a book that means a lot to me. Perhaps it was these desperate, bitter men in the West Stand at Arsenal who taught me how to get angry in this way; and perhaps it is why I earn some of my living as a critic - maybe it's those voices l can hear when I write.

You will be reading from an essay and a play dealing with the lives of women in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century
Whitepunk [10]

The predictions from an essay and a play dealing with the lives of women in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century are:

  • Women will have fewer opportunities than men.
  • Both texts will discuss the need for progress in equal rights.
  • Women will struggle with being wives while maintaining their independence.

<h3>What is gender equality?</h3>

Gender equality refers to giving the same rights or treatment to both genders; male and female gender.

In the early centuries, women are treated in an unequal manner to men. Men are seen as superior beings than women. A woman is mostly deprived of education and are subjected to early marriage.

Women are not trained to add to the development of the society or to become leaders, rather, they are trained to become wife's and mother's.

I need help with dis.
Llana [10]

Answer:

Argumentative writing → An essay argues that light on the field would add to the quality of life in the community.

Claim → The soccer field would get more use because the lights would allow night games.

Counterclaim → Some people think it is not worth the expense

Evidence → According to a poll, more than one third of the citizens approve the cost of adding lights to the soccer field

Reasoning → Our town should place lights near the soccer fields so teams can play at night.

Explanation:

I have been able to place each sentence to the correct term.

An essay that argues on a subject is usually classified to be argumentative writing. The statement claimed that "<em>The soccer field would get more use because the lights would allow night games</em>". This is actually a claim. But an opposition to the claim is known as counterclaim. So, when "<em>Some people think it is not worth the expense</em>", then it is counterclaim.

Then an evidence was given which we see from the poll that was carried out. Evidence usually comes with facts and data which is what the poll provided.

The speaker actually reasoned or thought that their "<em>...town should place lights near the soccer fields so teams can play at night</em>". This is reasoning.
