Read this excerpt from a short story. Carla could see all of Grace Court from her chair, but there was still no sign of her brot

her. She had been reviewing for Monday’s poetry quiz and enjoying the subtle signs of spring. She closed her eyes and recited a Langston Hughes line, only to be interrupted by a commotion. It was Lucas, returning on his bike and greeting neighbors as he passed. Soon he skidded to a stop at the curb by Carla’s feet. "What are you so excited about, Lucas?" she asked, "and where have you been for the past hour?" "I’ve been buyin’ us tickets for next weekend’s show uptown at the Grand. I hope I can talk you into leavin’ the stoop for one night." "What show?" Carla asked, with mounting excitement at the prospect of an evening out. Which line from the story contains dialect?

Answer:

"I’ve been buyin’ us tickets for next weekend’s show uptown at the Grand. I hope I can talk you into leavin’ the stoop for one night."

Explanation:

Dialect refers to the way a person speaks a particular language. This way is usually associated with a certain social group, geographical area, class or district. People who share a dialect have a way of speaking that differs from the standard in spelling, sounds, grammar and pronunciation. In this example, this line contains dialect, as it shows the particular way of speaking of Carla's brother.

Answer:

The line that contains dialect is<u> "I’ve been buyin’ us tickets for next weekend’s show uptown at the Grand. I hope I can talk you into leavin’ the stoop for one night."</u>

Explanation:

A dialect is a regional variety of a language. It is distinguished from other regional varieties by characteristics of vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. It is common for authors to represent their characters' dialect through spelling. In this case, we can find such a representation in the words  buyin' and leavin'. Instead of spelling them in their regular, grammatically correct form, the author chose to show his character's pronunciation by dropping the final -g.

Which sentence does not contain an unnecessary comma?
andrezito [222]
I think the correct answer is "The president lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20500" because in writing the address in the sentence it requires comma each part of it and in between the sate and zip code there is never a comma.

The lead-up to "Carmaggedon" was feverish. Which evidence from the text supports
saul85 [17]

Answer:

<em>then-Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa urged residents to get  out of town, or at least to stay off the roads; billboards were posted up all over the city letting  Angelenos know about the coming closure; radio statements were made by all the major radio  personalities; one airline offered four-dollar plane rides from Los Angeles to Orange County; bike  groups sponsored cross-city excursions; helicopter companies offered half-hour long discounted rides to see the construction in action from the air; and local bars and restaurants offered "Carmageddon"  specials, which included special dishes and discounts on food and drink. The Los Angeles Police  Department was brought in to ensure drivers did not sneak onto the freeway or onto Sepulveda". </em>

Explanation:

In the short passage about the problem of Los Angeles and its problem with the traffic, <em>Measure R</em> deals with the proposed plan and solution to solve this issue. The narrator talks of how the authorities tried hard to dissuade the <em>"Angelenos  (that is the  name of Los Angeles’ inhabitants)" </em>from adding to the ever increasing traffic problems. Rather than try to get their own vehicles to get to work, the narrator claims that if the public transport system is made more efficient and dependable, then the traffic will not only improve but also lead to more citizens depending on its public transport and leave their own vehicles, thus adding to the decreased traffic snarls.

The event <em>"Carmaggedon" </em>as the narrator terms it, is when a whole  I-405 freeway being blocked <em>"for an entire weekend in 2011 in order to expand one  of the bridges that connect Mulholland Drive across the hills of the Santa Monica Mountain  range"</em>. This not only led to more traffic snarls, but also to a much more complicated situation. And the lead up to this moment was made more feverish with the many 'excitements' that the people feel.   <em>"then-Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa urged residents to get  out of town, or at least to stay off the roads; billboards were posted up all over the city letting  Angelenos know about the coming closure; radio statements were made by all the major radio  personalities; one airline offered four-dollar plane rides from Los Angeles to Orange County; bike  groups sponsored cross-city excursions; helicopter companies offered half-hour long discounted rides to see the construction in action from the air; and local bars and restaurants offered "Carmageddon"  specials, which included special dishes and discounts on food and drink. The Los Angeles Police  Department was brought in to ensure drivers did not sneak onto the freeway or onto Sepulveda". </em>

The above passage supports the conclusion to the statement that the Carmaggedon led to a feverish reaction/ outcome.
