(1) Machines are complete mysteries to me, and this has resulted in some embarrassing service calls at my home. (2) For example,

there was the time I called in a repairman because our refrigerator was too warm. (3) Imagine my humiliation when he told me that the cause of the problem was a dirty filter, which I didn’t know existed and therefore hadn’t cleaned even once in the two years we owned the refrigerator. (4) The best example of my brilliance with machines, however, has to be the time I called for someone to fix my washing machine. (5) The repairman’s solution was simply to put the plug back in the outlet, from which it had been jarred loose by the constant vibration of the washer.
The tone of this passage is


a. straightforward.

b. disbelieving.

c. self-mocking.

c) self- mocking

The girl sounds like she's embarrassed with herself. She says, "imagine my humiliation", which means she's mocking herself. She's also sarcastic saying," the best example of my brilliance" was when all she had to do was put the plug back in the outlet.

How do you write a good hook for a persuasive essay?
xenn [34]

Answer: When writing a persuasive essay, place the reader in the persons shoes. For example when writing a debatable persuasive essay like school uniforms, try something likes this " Imagine this, you're walking down a hallway in school, and everywhere you look, you see the same thing..." Or you could always start off with a question (which is a very effective hook) this gets the reader thinking. "What is one thing you .....?" etc etc  Everyone has a different preference. Also, another way to start it is with the classic "Did you know?" question, not only asking a question, but listing facts afterwards to back up your claim.

Explanation: Hope these help :)

Read the excerpts from Chapter 4 of The Call of the Wild, and then respond to the journal prompt that follows.
natta225 [31]

This prompt is from Buck's POV.

I was just laying on the ground silently. Not moving, not making any noises, being repeatedly whipped over and over again. I understood Hal's rage. This was my first time ever failing at something. Of course he would be angry. Hal switched out to a club, which hurt a lot more. Like my friends, I wasn't able to get up. But I was the only one who decided not to get up. I just felt this feeling  for a long time, that something bad was going to happen. I was feeling like my time was just about over. The hits just stopped hurting as badly, and I felt numb. But suddenly, I heard a cry, almost like an animal cry. A man named John Thornton attacked the man holding the club.

I hope this helps!
