It was the day Ian learned the importance of being a big brother. Ian and his three-year old sister, Reece, were at the neighbor

hood pool. Before they got there, their mother told Ian to take special care to watch out for Reece who was still a quite weak swimmer. Ian said he would, but later got distracted by a game of "Gator." The next thing he knew, his mother dove into the water around him, and pulled his little sister up from the bottom. Reece was fine after she coughed awhile. Ian felt terrible. He felt very badly about not watching his sister. He made a resolution to be a better brother in the future.

Answer :

Cambridge English Dictionary defines "terrible" as "very unpleasant or serious or bad."

So, terrible is a synonym of feeling bad. In the given paragraph, the lines " Ian felt terrible." and "He felt very badly" are repetitions of each other.

The sentences " Ian felt terrible. He felt very badly about not watching his sister. He made a resolution to be a better brother in the future. " in this paragraph can be combined to eliminate repetition most effectively in the following way :

A) Ian felt very badly about not watching his sister, so he made a resolution to be a better brother in the future.

How do you think mindfulness might help you at school?​
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

how do you think mindfulness might help you at school?​

Explanation:

Mindfulness helps to provide a holistic foundation for the development of social, emotional, academic, and leadership. It empowers students with the agency of self-regulation to increase their capacity to respond in their best educational and civic interests, rather than to react in ways that hinder them in achieving their learning and life-long learning goals. And it supports the translation of private, personal struggle into identification with others and articulating common issues based on values of compassion and empathy with “the other” in ways that encourage civic engagement and action to realize a more inclusive and democratic society.
