Douglas’ mother writes to the YMCA authorities holding them accountable for the mishap as well as demanding that the authorities
sladkih [1.3K]

Hi. This question requires you to use your creativity and drafting skills and for that reason, I can't write the letter for you, but I can show you how to write it and that's what I'm going below.

To begin writing the letter, you must imagine yourself as Douglas' mother and think about how upset you were about your son's accident in the YMCA pool, which was left completely under supervision. After imagining the situation you can write the letter as follows:

  1. Start by making a statement to the person you are writing the letter to. You can start with "Dear Mr/Mrs...."
  2. Begin a second paragraph by introducing yourself, and showing why this letter is being written. Then comment on the accident and give reasons why you believe the YMCA authorities are responsible for this accident.
  3. Start the third paragraph giving suggestions on how this problem can be resolved and claiming something that should be done to prevent new accidents from happening.
  4. End the letter by stating that you hope these issues will be resolved quickly and that you hope all families can have good experiences with the YMCA in the future. Remember to be polite throughout the letter.

“You ought not to think an hour upon the matter, but to spring to action at once.”
loris [4]
"You ought not to think an hour upon the matter, but to spring to action at once."

The purpose of the words "hour" and "spring" is:
A) Most of the sentences contain comma splices.

A comma splice is the use of a comma to join two independent clauses. The comma is followed by a conjunction.

Two independent clauses:
1) You ought not to think an hour upon the matter.
2) You ought to spring to action at once.

conjunction used is BUT.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

B. To support a claim about how quickly New York's population increased.

Explanation:

In the given passage about the surge of immigrants in America, the author includes how most of the immigrants came through the Ellis Island Immigration Station. This New York harbor would be the main point of entry for most of the<em> "newcomers"</em>.

By including this information about the station, the author is providing support to the claim that New York City is <em>"overwhelmed"</em> by the surge in the immigrants who settled on the place they landed- New York. So, the city became more crowded, although it was already crowded, with<em> "various types of streetcars vying for space on the roads."</em> This added to the increased population of the city.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
