Ah, I remember Harry Potter.

In J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Mr. and Mrs. Dursley are described as people, "proud to say that they were perfectly normal" (1). Further on, they are described as "the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense" (Rowling 1). Mr. and Mrs. Dursley live in number 4 Privet Drive, and they are normal, in the sense of their own thoughts. They are not superstitious people, as they didn't believe in the "strange or mysterious" (1). These people would never associate themselves with the unknown, and due to this, they pride themselves for being normal.

Papessa [141]
Family conflict has been known for the cause of many children being affected. Watching your parents fight isn’t a good sight especially when your a child, it’s not a nice sight. The sight might scare the child, which may cause them to be afraid of the parent or parents. Family conflict many cause many problems or may cause many mental health issues.

For example: (main one) Depression, anxiety, or stress etc. Depression, as we know, is very popular among young kids, most of the causes of depression is thanks to family conflict. Their parent’s problems may become a burden to the child, which causes them to have stress. Depression and stress are caused by watching the family conflict happen, which may an affect on the child.

Something that may affect the child is their POV or trust in the parent or parents who were fighting. May also affect them academically, like in school. They can be in a class, and they might be thinking about problems at home. These family conflicts affect the child a lot.

Which opening sentence most strongly engages the reader and provides context?
svp [43]
Of the opening sentences that were presented here that strongly engages the reader and provides context to them would be the second one which is "We could have had a worse weekend, but it's awfully hard to beat Bigfoot and bugs."

The first and third one were just not good enough because it exposes the rest of the context to the reader and lets them have the idea of what you are talking about which usually leads to the readers not choosing to continue to read, thus taking out the reader's engagement but still provides context. The last one is better than the first and third, but it spilled the beans when it mentioned the particulars as to what made the weekend bad to worse. The answer is just right. It has the impact that would hook the reader to know more about your weekend and why is Bigfoot and bugs together in your statement. The rain wasn't mentioned which would be ideal to make the story telling take a turn to much worse which would spike up the interest of the reader.

Read the sentence.
kati45 [8]

Adverbs modify (describe) verbs or other adverbs and often end in -ly.  You need to locate the verb to determine at least one of the adverbs (the action of the sentence.)  This is a complex sentence because it has an independent clause (it was not exactly what he had in mind) and a subordinate clause (when he agreed to do the task).  If you just look at the independent clause, or the one that can stand by itself, you will find the verb 'was'.  Ask yourself 'was what'.  The answer is not, which means it is the adverb.  To find the adverb describing it, we again ask, 'not what'.  The answer is exactly.  So the answer is A.
