Answer:

"When they heard the commotion across the room, the audience gravitated toward the noise to see what the fuss was about."

"Maria knew the child was frightened, so she tried to gently remove the bandage from the panicked young toddler's finger."

"It was a sunny, clear day. There was scarcely no breeze, so naturally, we decided to drive to the beach."

"The meal was served in six courses, each more complex and colorful than the last. And delicious too."

Explanation:

When something is said to have contested usage, it means that there are still disagreements among scholars about it.

From the options given, some scholars disagree about the usage of a split infinitive which uses "to gently remove" in the first option.

From the second option, a sentence begins with a coordinating conjunction which is considered wrong by some scholars of grammar.

The third option contains a double negative which is also has contested usage.

Write a paragraph (five sentences) about packing for a trip.
sattari [20]

Answer:

To answer this question, you must ask yourself two questions about this:

Explanation:

What do you need to pack for a trip?

How do you have an enthusiastic tone?

Usually when people pack for trips, we bring the essentials(what you need) and things to keep you from being bored. For the essentials, this includes things like clothes, food, and money. What do you need to survive?

For things to keep you from being bored, what do you like to do in your spare time? Do you like to read? Draw? Watch TV and movies? What are your hobbies? Then, you translate these things into things that can fit into a bag for a trip. For reading, you can bring books or an e-reader. For drawing, you can bring a tablet or a sketchbook with pencils. For TV and movies, you can bring a phone or computer to watch on a streaming service.

What is an enthusiastic tone? Well, it means that you are happy. You are excited for what is to come. You look forward to packing and to have fun on your trip. You can say things like "I grinned and laughed as I stuffed my book in my bag. I can't <em>wait </em>to read this great book!"
