This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question

Read this student's rough draft.

I learned the game of chess under the wise tutelage of my  Uncle Ray. He's a chess master, and he dominates the  West Side Park tournaments each spring. Uncle Ray  explained bishops, rooks, and pawns for me as my parents  were teaching me my alphabet. I learned how to protect my queen as my peers learned to ride bicycles, Ray instructed  me daily on chess theory and end game strategy .

Which concluding sentence best reflects the writer's voice?

He taught me about chess legend Garry Kasparov, and  together we dissected his games .

I like chess because it's super fun, and someday I'll beat my uncle at his own game.

He is a fantastic teacher, and he has the skills to crush  the competition in any tourney .

The next local tourmament is being sponsored by the  Rotary club and the entry fee is ten dollars.

Answer: He taught me about chess legend Garry Kasparov, and  together we dissected his games .

Explanation:

The chosen sentence is the best to reflect the writer's voice because it keeps a similar tone and the same past tense. While the other choices are in the present tense, only this one keeps the past tense in which the writer refers to uncle Ray. Furthermore, it keeps the same rather formal and eloquent tone, as if the writer was an adult talking about childhood memories.

(MC)Choose the correctly punctuated sentence.
Fiesta28 [93]
A, C and D are incorrect. The question mark belongs after the question, not at the end of the sentence.

Answer: B) <span>"Are you a doctor?" she asked.

Why?

Because the question mark is placed inside the quotation marks after the end of the question. Thus, the answer is B.</span>

You want to read!! That itself is an amazing starting point. Beyond that, though, you're right, it can be pretty hard.

The first step is to figure out what you're interested in. This will take some experimentation, but if you try to force yourself to read when you're really <em>not </em>interested, it'll feel like a chore, any motivation you had will disappear, and you'll be worse off than when you started. So start looking into different genres and find out what works for you. If you like movies of a certain genre, you can start from there. If you have friends who like to read, you can also ask them for recommendations, because they know you and might know what you'd like.

Always sticking to one type of book might get boring, too, so don't be afraid to spice things up! You might discover something else you love.

If you do have friends who like to read, and they recommend books to you, they'll probably ask you about your progress lol so you'll have a reason to keep reading. Take it from someone who reads and has a <em>lot</em> of friends who do as well-- they will NOT let you forget. You could also ask them, or your family to remind you about your reading goals!

This next part is important-- don't feel like you <em>have</em> to read. It's great to have a schedule and to try to sit down and read every day at a given time, but if you try to force things... like I mentioned earlier, you'll lose interest. There's no rulebook that defines what a reader is. If you read one book a week, you're obviously a reader. But if you read one book in a month, you're still a reader. One in a year? You're still a reader. Your speed and the amount you read don't change how much of a reader you are, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just have fun!

Oh, and! One last thing. If you find what you really like, and they're books "meant for kids," or just not "cool enough," don't worry about it. Read what you want, your reading journey is your own. Other people's judgements mean nothing.

The tips from the other answer are also useful! Hope I could help you!! (GOOD LUCK!!)

Select the correct text in the passage.
evablogger [386]

Answer: The line in this excerpt from The Still Alarm by George S. Kaufman that demonstrates the use of understatement is - FIRST FIREMAN (feels the wall): <u>"It's pretty bad right now. "</u>

Explanation:

<em>The Still Alarm </em>is a play, written by George S. Kaufman. In the play, Kaufman uses understatements to mock the British for their calmness, which is present even in quite stressful situations that would normally create panic.

An understatement is the presentation of something as being less important than it actually is. They are often used to create a humorous situation. The fire is strong enough to destroy the wall, but the fireman only states 'it's pretty bad." This is an example of an understatement - instead of describing fire as quite dangerous or horrible, he uses this weak description.
