Answer:

E). Had read.

Explanation:

As per the question, option E i.e. 'had read' displays the most appropriate correction of grammatical error in the underlined section. The given sentence fails to follow the correct grammatical structure for the past unreal conditional sentence as it employs the auxiliary verb 'would' with 'have' wrongly. In order to rectify this error, the grammatical structure suggests the use of past perfect in the 'if' clause('had read') in the past unreal conditional sentence. The other options are incorrect as they either uses preposition incorrectly between the auxiliary verb and the main verb(options C and D) or employs 'would or could' falsely in the first clause(options A and B). Thus, <u>option E</u> is the correct answer.

Speech Passage #1Instructions: Please read the passage below and answer the questions in full sentences.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The answer(s) are below

Explanation:

1. The main topic of this speech is, to not have the fear of growing up; consequentially graduating. It helps the reader understand that graduating is a big step in life and that it will happen sooner or later. it is just a fact of life, so the passage helps the person understand that instead of getting discouraged and giving up or being hyper prone to giving up because of someones opinion. The reader should do their best and accept the fact that graduating happens to every one and they should make the best of it.

2. The form of text being utilized is persuasive/inspirational, the entire preface of the passage (see comprehension question 1.) Is persuading students and young adults not to give up, and persevere, under this, it almost becomes and inspirational speech as well.

3. The supporting details for this persuasive excerpt/passage, are that the setting for this passage is almost as if there was a meeting, or a student council meeting, for young people as well as youngsters. Steve Jobs is quoted in this passage by saying "dream bigger" telling the audience to figuratively and literally, dream bigger and to not be afraid of failure because they can always get back on their feet some how. Another point that would not be considered supporting detailed but has come to my attention is the rhetoric used in this speech is so mature yet understanding of the current situation, it is amazing.

4. After reading the passage this speech seems to be targeted to young adults/teens graduating or soon to graduate. Although as with all speeches, there is a target audience, that does not mean that the speech is <em>only</em> for that audience. A teen recently enrolled into high school might find great comfort in this speech.

5. This speech could be further improved by, in my opinion, giving more examples. This text has given many examples, you just need to look hard. In my analyzing of passages one thing that usually sticks out to me is when a story does not have many examples, this passage has examples, and the ones it uses are very powerful; but having more examples just gives writing that extra flare and makes it even more enjoyable than it already is.
