This question refers to the text <em>Reality Is Broken: Why Games  Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World </em>by Jane McGonigal

Answer:

McGonigal chooses to use the word engage games instead of play games because this activity went beyond just playing, it was really something done for needed.

Explanation:

 Let's start directly with the following quote:

<em>"The plan adopted against the famine was to engage in games one day so entirely as not to feel any craving for food ..." </em>

We can clearly see from these lines that the author's goal was not to play for fun and without worries. It was something that had to be done to combat famine.

She had to really get involved in this activity so she could forget about hunger.

That is the reason why the author decides to choose these words.

Select two sentences in the passage that best show that Mr. Auld views education and slavery as incompatible.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

1. Just at this point of my progress, Mr. Auld found out what was going on, and at once forbade Mrs. Auld to instruct me further, telling her, among other things, that it was unlawful, as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read.

2. He would at once become unmanageable, and of no value to his master.

Explanation:

The two sentences above show that Mr. Auld did not think that education and slavery were compatible. On learning that Frederick Douglass was now learning how to read and write from his wife, he immediately stopped her, insisting that it was not safe to teach a slave how to read and write.

He reasoned that if Douglass became literate, he would become unmanageable. He might now challenge the authority of his master and become of no use to him.
