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.
D. because " was a lot of fun" is a prepositional phrase.
Answer:
Dear ________,
Online studying is giving me headaches. I can't stand the pressure, the deadlines, and the strict teachers! One late assignment and my grade drops. But then again it isn't that bad, I get information off my resources on the web and paraphrasing it in my own words. I hope you're doing much better than me over there, especially since I had a lecture from my teacher about my grades yesterday. I honestly wanna go back to regular in - person school rather than being locked up in the house all day. Write me back when you get this.
Sincerely, ______
