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 correct answer is A: Neat.

 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>

Answer:I managed to find the complete exercise on the Internet, given that you haven't provided us with all options given to you. 

1. cogitating = contemplating

To cogitate means to think about something (cogito in Latin literally means 'to think). Contemplating means to mull over a couple (or a lot) of options which is what Mr. Gamefield is doing in the excerpt above - he is thinking of ways to pay his rent.

2. cudgeling = beating

A cudgel is a short stick which you can use as a weapon. So if you cudgel something or someone, it means that you are beating them with a cudgel, because it is a thick stick, almost like a bat. So this person was metaphorically cudgeling his brain, but literally cudgeling his donkey.

3. regaled = rewarded

The verb to regale has two meanings - it can either mean 'to entertain someone,' or it can mean 'to supply someone with something.' Here, the latter meaning is used - the donkey thought he would be given a cabbage-stalk or two for his hard work
