Some details that the text show that the excerpt was written in the past and not the present is, the story uses a lot of had and was which could be a huge clue that the text was written in the past sense its using past tense vocabulary. for example, in the excerpt it talks about how the children had a kind and merry housemaid. If it was present tense then the sentence would be, they have a kind and merry housemaid because it would mean that the house maid is with them right now and if it was future tense then it would be they will have a kind and merry housemaid because they don't have the maid yet and you would be using future tense words to indicate it hasn't happened yet. I hope this makes sense and helps.

I choose prompt 2:

This response is to show how the author used various words to make the reader understand that the story is happening in the past.  One of the ways the author did this is by describing the "ideal life".  She listed many things the children had. For example, in the passage, the author stated how beautiful and "modern" their home was, how children had pretty clothes, a 'lovely' nursery with lots of toys.  One other way the author shows that the events took place in the past is by saying things like "Mother Goose wall-paper". Wallpaper is rarely used today.

The story also described their "perfect" mother, who "does not sit and entertain herself but is simply there to entertain her children". She is "almost always there", and "ready to play with the children, read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons."  This is also rare today, as most mothers are working and do not spend as much time with their children as in the past.  The father is described as "perfect", he is "never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game". The descriptions such as these make the reader think that the events in the story are happening in the past.

Some additional words that make it sound that the story took place in the past, are the mention of mumps (this is very rare today) and using word such as "dull".

All of these different ways are used to make the reader feel that the story is happening in the past time.

Which words and phrases from this excerpt help create a tone of admiration? Check all that apply.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Highly valuable, courageous, critical role

Explanation:

The given excerpt is the following:

In World War I and World War II, American Indian soldiers played a critical role in the US military effort by using their native languages as the basis for creating successful codes. The most famous of these soldiers were a group of four hundred men known as the Navajo code talkers. These innovative and courageous soldiers developed for the United States Marine Corps a virtually unbreakable military code, which proved highly valuable against the Japanese during the Second World War.

The words used to create a tone of admiration, that express respect and approval, in it are <em>highly valuable, courageous, </em>and <em>critical role.</em>

The code of the Navajo is described as highly valuable, which means that it was approved of and considered to be an important asset by the United States.

The Navajo soldiers are described as courageous, which is another positive, respected trait. They were brave and not afraid to get hurt or even lose their lives for the sake of victory.

The fact that these soldiers played a critical role means that they played a huge part in war and greatly contributed to its positive outcome.

Rainbow [258]
<span>The flawed logic in this statement exemplifies A) post hoc. Post hoc is a result of something that occurs after a particular event, that also contains flawed assumption that this result has a logical relationship with the represented event. As you can see, this sentence is build following the principle cause and effect, but if you pay attention to the contents you will see that it makes no sense.</span>
