Incomplete question. The full question reads;
Use the context clues in each sentence to determine the best meaning for each bolded word or phrase.
"My father was proud that I chose his alma mater over the other schools."
A) course of study
B) former school
C) favorite place
Answer:
<u>B) former school</u>
Explanation:
The word 'alma mater' is actually a Latin phrase that is used to refer to a previously attended school or college.
Thus, if we were to replace the phrase alma mater in the above sentence it would read;
"My father was proud that I chose his former school over the other schools."
Answer:
The answer is "a source excerpt in your own words".
Explanation:
Paraphrasing implies expressing a message (written or spoken) by using your own words.
For example, in "John painted the house" we could say "the house was painted by John" and the meaning is exactly the same.
Another example could be "Peter is married" and "Peter is not single". Again, in both cases we are saying the same.
It could be said that Patch realized that he wanted to have a career to serve others when he was at the mental institution for attempting suicide. There was one important event where he helped a man to fix his broken cup with a piece of tape, this is how he got his name "path" and it might be considered the starting point of his career. <span />
A memoir would be just such an example.
