Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen. From this well-stocked basement came a whole new set of really ne
at projects. My younger brother, Mitch, and his friends, as well as some of my own friends, would come after school to help. At sixteen I was now a young entrepreneur, paying them for their help. I was surprised by the number of orders I was getting for more and more equipment. Soon I didn't have time to build and design new things. Giving over this work to other kids gave me more time to do what I wanted to do. This went on after school and all summer long. Which of the following is a signal word from this excerpt that shows an opinion? neat younger entrepreneur equipment
<em>Neat</em> is the word that shows an opinion. Kamen says: " ....whole new set of <em>really neat</em> projects.." He has emphasised the word <em>neat</em> with <em>really, </em>so he is giving an opinion about the proyect.
The words younger, entrepreneur and equipment in the text refer to <em>facts:</em> His brother is <em>younger</em> than him,<em>entrepreneur</em>is his new occupation and <em>equipment</em> was one of his projects. The word neat shows how he views the new set of projects, in his opinion they were good and clever: neat. So, the signal word that that shows an opinion is <em>neat.</em>
