The correct answer is C. Since the father likes taking risks in a game, he might like taking risks in life as well.

Explanation:

In reading, the process of inferring refers to ideas or points that can be concluded or guessed based on the information and details provided in a text, that do not explicitly state an idea but somehow suggest it. In the case of the excerpt presented, the author states a father and a sone were playing chess and in the case of the father played in a way that was risky as he is described as "putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils" situation that makes an old lady that is in the room or the same place make comments. These details show the way the father plays is particular and he seems to takes a lot of risks while playing, therefore it can be inferred he is a risky person and probably does the same in his life or that "Since the father likes taking risks in a game, he might like taking risks in life as well". Also, other details such as the age of the characters or the clothes of them are not provided which makes other options incorrect.

Marcus is delivering a speech verbatim from a teleprompter. What delivery technique is he using
SIZIF [17.4K]
The delivery technique Marcus is using while delivering a speech verbatim from a teleprompter is manuscript delivery.
So the text he is reading is called a manuscript, and he is delivering it in front of cameras or people. Verbatim means word for word - so he is reading everything that is written in the text. This is a common method of reading text during news on TV, for example.

What's the difference between vague and precise verbs?
m_a_m_a [10]

The correct answer is Precise verbs are easier to imagine

Explanation:

Precise verbs differ from vague verbs because these refer to very specific actions or states. For example, the verbs "mutter" or "crawl" are precise verbs because these refer to very specific actions. On the other hand, the verb "move" is vague because this does not explain how the movement occurs. Moreover, precise verbs allow the reader to imagine precisely the action described, and therefore are easier to imagine and are more suitable to create precise descriptions.
