The balloon rocketed into the sky.   Though we were frightened, everything ended up being fine.

  • The word "quickly" can be removed because speed is implied with the word "rocketed"
  • The phrase "into the really cold air" can be removed because it is irrelevant to what's happening.  It can be replaced by "into the sky"
  • Now "up" can be removed because "into the sky" implies that the balloon went upwards.
  • Either the word "scared" or "frightened" can be removed because they're synonyms (I chose to remove "scared")
  • "Because it was moving really fast" can be removed because the use of the word "rocketed" beforehand already implies that the balloon was moving fast.
  • Lastly , I just reworded and conjoined some of the sentences to make them read more clearly though this isn't necessary. (I changed the third sentence from "However, it was all good in the end," to "everything ended up being fine." I also combined the second and third sentences, adding "though" in front of the second sentence to make it a dependent clause)

Pip's uncontrolled spending habits represent
Dvinal [7]
I was not able to find a similar question on the internet, but the following excerpt would lead me to believe that it's Letter D. 

An excerpt "The Great Expectations enter into the story when Mr. Jaggers takes Pip to London to make a gentleman of him." <span>Pip is living the life of a London playboy. He adapts to his new lifestyle, which includes spending money at a great rate to the point that he is a negative influence on Herbert, his best friend. I'd say it's not the letter A since Pip and Herbert have a positive relationship towards each other. It's not letter B also since it didn't mention him helping his family when he was in London. So it can either be C or D.</span>

L 1.2.5 Quiz: Informational Texts
mamaluj [8]

After analyzing the options containing different parts of a book, we can say that the author would explain why she wrote that book in:

A. The introduction

<h3>The different parts of a book</h3>

First, it is important to understand that the correct place to explain the central idea of a book and why you have written it is in the preface. However, preface is not one of the answer options provided.

For that reason, we will choose introduction, and here is why:

  • A foreword is written by someone else, not the author.
  • The index is just a list of keywords organized alphabetically.
  • The table of contents is a list of chapters and page numbers.

With that in mind, the only good option to answer this question is B. introduction. This is where the author will present her ideas to readers.
