Answer:
C (unsure)
Explanation:
The question looks like it is asking what the problem is with that sentence. The sentence "I'm going to tell you that..." seems extra. If you think this resembles what you define as throwaway writing, go for it.
...What is the word in italics?
I'm assuming by the options and context clues, the word is "ponderous"
It should be heavy, because ponderous means with a lot of weight(basically).
If it was sharp why would she pick it up? If it was slippery, why would she make her neighbor pick it up? If it was too heavy for her to remove, she would go get help from her neighbor.
So yeah, your answer is C, heavy.
I believe the best answer is the first sentence because that is where the action seems to occur.
Through speeches, the leaders usually tried to appeal to all audiences. Martin Luther King Jr’s speech “I have a Dream” was given to both dark-skinned and light-skinned people.
At first, he aims the speech at the light-skinned people, by referring to the dark-skinned person as someone separate.
The second part of the speech was more directed toward the dark-skinned people, so he used terms like “my people” and “we”
The third part of the speech was when he called for unity and referred to everyone as friends, and talks about his dream.
