Answer:

The answers are B and C: The girl does impossible things, and the story has humorous exaggerations.

Explanation:

“How Mighty Kate Stopped the Train” is a tall tale because the main character, Kate, is stronger than real-life people and does impossible things; for example, after Kate was born and the doctor weighed her, she weighed the doctor. In addition, “How Mighty Kate Stopped the Train” is a tall tale because the story has humorous exaggerations and hyperbole; for example, the statement, “When the wind and rain raged so hard that homes shook in fear, trees ran for their lives”, is humorous and a great exaggeration of reality. Typically, a tall tale is a tale or story of characters that are greater or stronger than real life characters; also, tall tales have humorous statements that are exaggerated.

Have you ever tried to teach a class full of restless, active sixth-graders? I have. I taught sixth-grade students for 12 years.
blagie [28]

Answer:

Facts used in the letter:

  • She has taught sixth-grade students for 12 years.
  • Average class size at Harbor Elementary School is 32.
  • The National Education Association recommends a class size of 23.

Opinion:

She opines that teachers are overworked and underpaid.

Bias:

Elsie Lovelace, herself being a teacher, has a bias in favor of teachers when she says that teachers are already overworked and underpaid. She also shows her bias when she mentions difficult working conditions for teachers i.e. a class full of restless active sixth-graders.

Explanation:

This excerpt from a letter is mix of emotions (overworked, underpaid, nearly impossible for most teachers), some facts (experience of 12 years, average class size, recommended class size), and some biases in favor of teachers (overworked, underpaid, restless active sixth-graders).

Her view or appeal to hire more teachers makes an appeal to audience's logical reasoning and emotions.
