Excerpt from: Life on the Mississippi

Mark Twain

THERE was no use in arguing with a person like this. I promptly put such a strain on my memory that by and by even the shoal water and the countless crossing-marks began to stay with me. But the result was just the same. I never could more than get one knotty thing learned before another presented itself. Now I had often seen pilots gazing at the water and pretending to read it as if it were a book; but it was a book that told me nothing. A time came at last, however, when Mr. Bixby seemed to think me far enough advanced to bear a lesson on water-reading. So he began—

Answer:

ROB

Which option was used to revise this ​sentence? You should stand up for your rights. Stand up for your​ rights! A. reversed the
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The option used to revise this sentence was C. changed to a​ question, exclamation, or command.

Explanation:

The original sentence, "You should stand up for your rights," is conveying a suggestion. By using "should", the speaker is presenting his opinion, but not in an imperative manner. It's as if he said, "It would be good if you did this. But, whether you do it or not, it is your decision."

The revised sentence, "Stand up for your rights!", is in the imperative mood, meaning it conveys a command, an order. Unlike the original sentence, this one eliminates the suggestion of a course of action. Instead, it urges the listener to do it, to obey. A sentence in the imperative mood does not need to present a subject– it is inferred that it is the second person. It commonly begins directly with the base form of the verb; the exclamation mark is an indicative of urgency.

Type four words that you use in a way that is different from their "proper"meaning
Yuki888 [10]
Neat
sweet
ridiculous
hot

The four words above are frequently used by people in informal situations with meanings that differ from their "proper" or standard ones. First, let's take a look at their original, literal definitions:
1. neat - tidy, organized; efficient.
2. sweet - sugary; sugary food; pleasant, delightful.
3. ridiculous - laughable, comical; absurd.
4. hot - very warm; spicy.
In everyday informal conversations, those words take on different connotations. Sweet and neat can be used as compliments to things and people who are considered cool, nice, interesting. For instance:
- Man, that ride is neat!
- You got a bonus! Sweet!
Ridiculous can also assume a better connotation than the original. It can refer to something being greater, better than expected:
- He made a ridiculous amount of money at that job.
Finally, hot can be used to describe something or someone that is quite famous/popular:
- You haven't heard this song yet? But this band is hot! Everyone knows them!

Nikitich [7]

Kevin Gover apologizes for the misdemeanor of the BIA towards American Indians and Alaska Natives.

Explanation:

The speech was delivered by Assistant Secretary Indian Affairs Kevin Grover at the celebration of the 175th anniversary of BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) with an intent to emphasis on the ethnic and cultural indifference or misbehavior towards American Indians and Alaska Natives.

His apology was to emphasize on ethnic cleansing and destroying cultural difference as to what happened in the past cannot be changed, but we can look on to have a good future.  His confession of all the wrongdoings by BIA was to lay stress on the healing that all should undergo which can enable to forget the past and focus on the future.
