During a lecture in class I was talking to my best friend about our argument yesterday. The bell rang and I hadn’t been able to take the notes necessary for our Unit Test. I came to class the next day and did really bad on our test. By not paying attention I was able to negatively effect my grade. Since that day I began to pay more attention in class.
I believe the answer is C because if you looking for dog pictures and end up looking at cat pictures you went off topic, since you went to look at dog pictures. Its the same when you go looking for research on a topic.
The authors purpose is the main idea of the story. What is the story focused on? What is the main topic that is being discussed over and over again. Main ideas are usually at the beggining and end of paragraphs/stories! hope this helped!!!
The correct answer is The following Saturday, I was walking by the dirt lot again, and there was Ben digging up the dirt with a shovel.
Explanation:
In this passage, the narrator describes experiences related to the creation of a community garden. In sentence 5, the author describes what seems to be the beginning of community garden "I was walking by the dirt lot again, and there was Ben digging up..."; however, this sentence does not show the relationship between this event and the events previously described.
In this context, it is necessary to add a time relationship or at least a connector that shows how Been acting strangely led to him began working to create a garden. According to this, the best option is "The following Saturday, I was walking by the dirt..." because this clearly shows this last event occurred after Ben decided the dirt lot was a perfect place to create a community garden.
