Answer:

"site" should be "sight"

"shear" should be "sheer"

Explanation:

The two mistakes are "site" and "shear".

"Site" is the location of something; in this case, that's not what the context is trying to say. Instead, the sentence is saying that "we" saw the pyramid, so it should be "we caught <em>sight </em>of the Great Pyramid of Giza".

"Shear" is cutting off the hair of something. Obviously, no one's hair is getting cut, so it doesn't make sense here. Instead, the correct word should be "sheer", which means something like "utter" or to express the power of an item.

How Things Work by Gary Soto Reread the first sentence of the poem in lines 1-2. Where would you pause, and what words would you
viva [34]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The first two lines of How Things Work by Gary Soto read;

<em>Today its going to cost us twenty dollars </em>

<em>To live. Five for a soft ball. Four for a book</em>

Pauses are in line 2 just where the full stops are

Stresses are on the words: Today, Five, Four
