Answer:

B. Persuade.

Explanation:

All persuasive arguments, in order for them to be effective, must address a certain problematic that one wishes to change or through which one wishes to motivate somebody to acknowledge a certain position; for that reason, it must, at a certain degree, inform the other listener of the problematic at hand. However, one must be careful to properly distinguish between a mere informative or expository delivery and a persuasive one, like in this case, where, after presenting the problem at hand, the speaker turns to persuade the listener so that he or she would stop using plastic straws in order to reduce plastic waste.

How to Write a Short Story

Before we get to the 100 story ideas, let’s talk about how to write a great short story.

First, read short stories. If you’ve never read a short story, you’re going to have a hard time writing one. Where do you find great short stories? There are a lot of places, but check out our list of 46 Literary Magazines we’ve curated over here.

Write your story in a single sitting. Write the first draft of your story in as short a time as possible, and if you’re writing a short story, try to write it in one sitting. Trust me, this works. Everyone hates being interrupted when they’re telling a story. Use that to your advantage and don’t stop writing until you’ve finished telling your story.

Read your draft. Read your story through once, without changing anything. This will give you a sense of what work it needs going forward.

Write a premise. After reading your first draft, get your head around the main idea behind your story by summarize your story in a one sentence premise. Your premise should contain three things: a character, a goal, and a situation. Not sure how to actually do that? Here’s a full premise writing guide.

Write, edit, write, and edit. Good writing is rewriting. Use your second draft to fill in the plot holes and cut out the extraneous scenes and characters you discovered when you read the first draft in step #2. Then, polish up your final draft on the next round of edits.

Submit! Real writers don’t keep their writing all to themselves. They share it. Submit your story to a literary magazine, enter it into a writing contest, or even share it with a small group of friends. And if it gets rejected, don’t feel bad. You’ll be in good company.

Our 100 Best Short Story Ideas

Ready to get writing? Here are our 100 best short story ideas to kickstart your writing. Enjoy!

10 Best General Short Story Ideas

Our first batch of story ideas are for any kind of story, whether a spy thriller or a memoir of your personal life. Here are the best story ideas:

Tell the story of a scar, whether a physical scar or emotional one. To be a writer, said Stephen King, “The only requirement is the ability to remember every scar.”

A group of children discover a dead body. Good writers don’t turn away from death, which is, after all, the universal human experience. Instead, they look it directly into its dark face and describe what they see on the page.

A young prodigy becomes orphaned. Orphans are uniquely vulnerable, and as such, they have the most potential for growth.

A middle-aged woman discovers a ghost. What do Edgar Allen Poe, Ron Weasley, King Saul from the Bible, Odysseus, and Ebenezer Scrooge have in common? They all encountered ghosts!

A woman who is deeply in love is crushed when her fiancé breaks up with her. “In life every ending is just a new beginning,” says Dakota Fanning’s character in Uptown Girls.  

A talented young man’s deepest fear is holding his life back. Your character’s biggest fear is your story’s secret weapon. Don’t run from it, write about it.

A poor young boy or girl comes into an unexpected fortune. Not all fortunes are good. Sometimes discovering a fortune will destroy your life.

A shy, young woman unexpectedly bumps into her soulmate (literally bumps into him). In film, this is called the “meet cute,” when the hero bumps into the heroine in the hallway, knocking her books to the floor, and forcing them into conversation.

A long journey is interrupted by a disaster. Who hasn’t been longing to get to a destination only to be delayed by something unexpected? This is the plot of Gravity, The Odyssey, and even Lord of the Rings.

attashe74 [19]

Probability that the 7th grader is a boy = number of boys/(total kids) = 4/(4+4) = 1/2

 

Probability that the 8th grader is a boy = 5/(5+7) = 5/12

 

Probability that both are boys = 1/2*(5/12) = 5/24 or 20.8%

I hope this helps!
