Based on this excerpt, "feeling sick" contextually means to feel intense emotion that makes one feel unwell or nauseous. While the man is not going to actually become physically ill, he does experience emotional sickness. He would likely feel a deep pit in his stomach and would be chilled from the thought of the man losing his wife, yet still being kind to him.

How do you evaluate a text while proofreading?
andrezito [222]
While you are proofreading the text for grammar mistakes, you could evaluate the text by asking yourself the following questions.
 
What is the main idea?
What is the writer trying to say?
What rhetorical devices does the author use?
Did the writer organize his essay so that the reader will not be confused?
Was the writer able to bring about his point?
Did the introduction help start off the essay?
Did the writer conclude appropriately?
Did the writer use appropriate transitions to link ideas?

It will be hard evaluating and proofreading an essay at the same time as humans cannot multitask. I suggest doing them both separately.

Read the following passage:
EastWind [94]

Answer:

A) The two cultures end up sharing traditions and advancements peacefully

Explanation:

Let's go through this by process of elimination.

A) The two cultures end up sharing traditions and advancements  peacefully

This would ease the tension and the suspense in the cultural conflict of the story.

B) The narrator's people form an insulated community to preserve  their heritage

This would ease the tension, however, the suspense of an attack would create commotion and suspense.

C) The narrator fights to regain the land that once belonged to his  people.

This would NOT decrease the cultural conflict in this story.

D) The narrator convinces his people to let go of their traditions and

embrace progress.​

This would create tension throughout the people as the narrator attempts to convince them to let go.

<h2><em>I am unsure of the answer, as it could be either A or D, but I would choose option A. </em></h2>
