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.

Answer:  <u><em>Dear Grandma, </em></u>

<u><em>Thank you so much for the treats you sent me, they were really amazing. I had shared some with my siblings and they all loved it. Grandma, we have missed you a lot lately and cant wait for us to visit you doing the summer.  We have not seen you in years and its honestly killing me. I owe my entire life to you, Grandma. You’ve helped make me into the person that I am today and the person who has yet to grow. I genuinely have no idea where I would be without you. Everything we’ve shared together is forever filed in a special part of my brain. A place for only you and me. It is somewhere I can go whenever we aren’t together and I'm missing you. It is a place I can go for advice, a good laugh, and a mood enhancer. All I have to do is think of your smile and my day is automatically so much better. You have provided me with so much that I will never be able to pay you back for, but I am going to continue to try every day. I am so unbelievably lucky to have you. Out of all the people in the world, all of the women to become grandmas, I got the best in my life. </em></u>

<u><em>  Love you to the moon and back,</em></u>

<u><em>Your favorite grandchild ;)</em></u>

I love you so much.

Lines 101-136- How does the minister's black veil emphasize his individuality?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The minister's black veil in lines 101-136 reveals his individuality when his courtesy was paid with 'strange and bewildered looks.'

Explanation:

"The Minister's Black Veil" is a short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The story is about a minister named 'Mr. Hooper.'

The story is about human nature, sin, and guilt. In the story, Nathaniel has portrayed Mr. Hooper as a sole individual, the one who is ready to accept the truth.

In lines 101-136, when Mr. Hooper comes out after the service, the congregation began to shake their 'sagacious heads', some began to profane the Sabbath day with their 'ostentatious laughter.' But when Mr. Hooper came out he greeted everyone as he used to do every Sunday after service, bless little ones, etc. The individuality of Mr. Hooper can be seen here when he was paid back with 'strange and bewildered looks' for his civility, he was neglected an invitation on dinner, when no one wanted to walk beside the Minister as an honor.

Choose the adverbial phrase to add more detail to the following sentence. My family wanted to celebrate. Choose the adverbial ph
uysha [10]

The correct answer is D) After the big game, my family wanted to celebrate. To understand why it's important to know that an adverbial phrase is when the adverb is used to describe <u>when, where, how, how often or how long</u> something happens. In this case, we have an adverbial phrase of time because it states when something happens: "<em>After the big game</em>" this part help us to understand when the action happens , also the reason behind why they wanted to celebrate and at the end, it adds more detail to the sentence "<em>My family wanted to celebrate</em>".

The adverb is placed at the beginning of the sentence so we can cross out the <u>option B</u> and also the <u>option C.</u> The option B is describing where the family come from and "from out of town" doesn't function here as an adverb, the function here is to describe the precedence of the family but no more details. <u>The option A</u> is incorrect because when we use "<em>entire</em>" as an adverb it only goes after a verb and in this case, we have "<em>entire family</em>" so it goes with a noun and it's not correct as an adverbial phrase.
