1. We were weeding the vegetable bed and picking ripe tomatoes is the correct sentencing of the fragment.
2. It would be the third one "my brother was careful to avoid driving during rush hour" because this is a sentence and in the first choice makes the fragment turn into two fragments.
3. Add "turn" to the beginning of the fragment. This makes the fragment into a sentence.
The author of "Zlateh the Goat", Isaac Bashevis Singer, was a Polish Jewish author. In the story, not only are the main characters Jewish, but also the story is set around Hanukkah (and contains references to specific Hanukkah traditions and preparations), an important Jewish holiday. You should also note that the text was initially written in Yiddish, which is a dialect central to Jewish (especially Ashkenazi Jewish) culture.
Maybe just read the story a few times more and make a guess on what you think is the best answer?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not provide any reference to answer this question. We do not know the text, the excerpt, the name of the book or article, neither the name of the author. Without that information is difficult to know what you are talking about,
However, trying to help you and doing some deep research, we can comment on the following.
You are referring to the lecture "Barrington Irving; Pilot and Educator," an article from National Geographic.
I agree with the author because the life of Irving is an example of perseverance and determination. Irving is a pilot. But his childhood was a tough one. He was raised in the tough neighborhoods of downtown Miami, Florida.
At 28, he had graduated with honors and built his own plane prototype.
So he is a true example of overcoming obstacles in life and has the authority to give recommendations to students. His main message: "if you are determined and have clear goals, nothing can stop you."
