Even though there are no instructions, it is easy to see that we are supposed to choose between the adjective and the adverb for each of the blanks.

Answer:

Our government regulated the use of public transportation. Its (1.) ready access to commuters became a (2.) serious problem because many workers do not have their own vehicle. To our public commuters, I urge you to extend your (3.) full understanding as this measure is for our own safety.

Explanation:

An adjective modifies a noun, while an adverb modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. In the lines above, all sentences need adjectives, since we are modifying the nouns "access", "problem", and "understanding". It is the access that is ready, the problem that is serious, the understanding that is full. We are not modifying any verbs. The example below will help clarify the difference between the usage of adjectives and adverbs:

- You have my full attention. - "Full" is an adjective and it modifies the noun "attention".

- You are never fully paying attention. - "Fully" is an adverb and it modifies the verb phrase "are paying".

Which would most likely be found in informal writing?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formal writings, can be described as a type of writing that is done in a business or academic setting, or other contexts that require the use of formal language.

We can typically ascertain whether a written document is intended for this type of settings based on the language it uses: it tends to use words that you don’t commonly encounter in conversational settings; book language, so to speak. Another characteristic is the complex sentence structure; you would rarely see a sentence where only a subject and verb exists, without being accompanied by other word types. It would also use lengthy descriptions – long winded explanations for things that can actually be summed up shortly.

These things – you would never find in informal writing; however, you will find (C) opinion statements, in informal written communication; such as text messages, chats, and informal letters.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

C: John, the things you say make me mad at you!

Explanation:

The sentence John, the things you say make me mad at you! shows the most effective use of a dialogue because the speaker expresses his or her anger with the focus on the action and not on the person who performed it. This can be an invitation for a dialogue, opening a possibility to clarify any misunderstanding, and for apologizing.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Based on this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," what is the context meaning of the word "take up"?

"Ah, yes," the major said. "Why, then, do you not take up the use of grammar?" So we took up the use of grammar, and soon Italian was such a difficult language that I was afraid to talk to him until I had the grammar straight in my mind.

A. to become interested in or engaged in something

B. to begin to hold or work at a position or post

C. to occupy time, space, or the attention of someone

D. to pursue a matter later or further with someone

Answer:

In this context, the meaning of take up is:

A. to become interested in or engaged in something

Explanation:

"Take up" is a phrasal verb that can have different meanings according to the context in which it appears. In this particular context, "take up the use of grammar" means to become interested or engaged in the use of grammar. Usually, when a person starts studying or practicing something, we say they have taken up that something. If someone is interested in tennis and practicing it, we can say, "She has taken up tennis." If someone is interested in and learning Spanish, "He took up Spanish a couple of years ago."
