Answer:

The line of dialogue that changed the story was, "You know, there are scholarships available for winning students this year." This changed Maya's plans, and it made it so that she could try out for track. She was told that there would be scholarships for students who won. So that changed her mind about try outs.

Which phrase in this excerpt from James Joyce's "Araby" is a participial phrase?
Ann [662]
You seem to have every kind of verb form present in this selection. I'm going to list them all and what they do.

being blind: It is a participle and it is a participle phrase. But is it an adjective? 

was is a linking verb for the main clause. It is not a candidate at all.
set is the predicate of the subordinate clause beginning with  except not a candidate.

stood second main clause predicate verb. 

gazed a verb form for the main clause.

had died. Main clause verb. Not the answer.
having been long enclosed is close. Unfortunately it is a gerund phrase which is an object of a preposition (from). It likely is the second best answer.

hung main clause verb.

found main clause verb

The rest don't matter they are linking verbs or main clause verbs or subordinate clause verbs.

The only one you really could choose is being blind. It describes street.

Which statement about writing a research paper is true?
Mice21 [21]
A is the correct answer.

Why A is correct - A is correct because an outline gathers the thoughts, questions, and ideas related to your paper in a concise, orderly manner.

Why B is incorrect- A rough draft helps ensure that the student knows how to organize their thoughts and get a well developed idea of how to construct their final research paper.

Why C is incorrect- Some facts that you learn won’t actually be necessary in your research paper. You will only need the facts that are revenant to the topic of your passage.

Why D is incorrect- Research questions help further the finish of your paper. The more writing of your paper that ensues, can reveal a lack of other necessary questions that need to be answered and added to your paper.
