The correct matches of the questions to the step in writing would be as follows:
A. What voice am I writing in?
This question would most likely be drafting. It is the step where the author would begin to develop the text, organizing the thoughts he wants to have.
B. Are my sentence boundaries identified correctly (no fragments or run-ons)?
This would be the editing step where you proofread the whole text looking at errors especially structural errors.
C. Have I kept voice and tense the same throughout?
This would represent the revising step where you make a run through to each sentence and see whether you are being consistent with the use of words.
D. What is my purpose?
This would be the planning step. The very first step in writing would planning on what to write and what you would like to convey to the readers.
E. What is my evidence (and where will I get it)?
This would be the pre-writing stage where you collect your sources for the subject you want to write.
Answer:
Because although he believes that his son should not smoke, he does not think that smoking is such a serious and hateful sin that the boy is severely punished.
Explanation:
"Home" by, Anton Chekhov is a story that addresses the relationship between father and son and their conversation about the dangers of stimulating smoking.
In this story, Yevgeny Petrovitch Bykovsk discovers, through the housekeeper, that his seven-year-old son was caught smoking cigars from his father's drawer. The father calls his son to talk about how this habit is wrong for such a young boy, but he has difficulties in punishing the child because he does not think he has done anything serious and hateful.
I think 1 is a full sentence, but I'm not too sure.
2 is a fragment, you can write something like "tom stepped from the boat after a rugged trip across the Atlantic"
3 is a full sentence, 4 is a fragment but I don't know really how to rewrite it.
5 is also a fragment and you could write something like "the cars hood, hot from the sun's ray burned to touch"
The correct answer is: "Median is not affected by extreme values".
The median is the value located in the middle position of the sample, at the same distance for the upper and lower values. For instance, in this dataset {1, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13}, the median is 8, in the fourth possition from the left and from the right.
It is usually compared with the mean. The main difference is that the mean is affected by outliers but the median is not. In the example used above, if substituting the value 13 for 100, the median would still be 8, as it would continue being in the fourth position from both sides.
On the other hand, the mean in the original dataset is 7.57, while after the modification it increases to 20.
