Read the excerpt from Chapter 1 of Wheels of Change. In less than a decade, the growing bicycle craze created one of the largest

exis [7]

Answer:

statistics

Explanation:

In the excerpt from "Wheels of Change," the author Sue Macy makes reference to the development of the bicycle industry in the United States. In that respect, she provides statistical facts to support her claim. Thus, she mentions that 11,000 bicycles were manufactured in 1885, and that five years later the number grew to 40,000.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because the excerpt does not mention testimonies from experts, quotations or personal anecdotes.

disscuss three ways in which one's acceptance of responsibility can influence effective communication.(2014 sup).

umka21 [38]

Being responsible is owing up to the possible consequences of your decision whether it was right or wrong. Communication is a two way process wherein there is a messenger (one who talks) and receiver (one who listens). One of the ways that a person could be responsible is by saying ‘I’ in all the things he would say, instead of ‘we’. Example, ‘We don’t like the way you act awhile ago.’ Change it to ‘I don’t like the way you act awhile ago’. Here, you are establishing ownership on the things you want to say to the person.

Bksb English Diagnostic Assessment

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Spelling errors that I found are underlined and in bold:

Metal detecting is one of Britain's fastest growing hobbies, and if you're lucky to find treasure, you must report your discovery to the relevant authorities or face potential legal penalties.

Within 14 days of finding it, you must report any treasure to the local coroner. You only need to report items officially defined as treasure. There's an unlimited fine or up to 3 months in prison for not reporting treasure.

You can voluntarily report items to the Portable Antiquities Scheme if they aren't treasure but are still of cultural or historical interest. This is to help keep a record of finds in England and Wales.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

I may have missed a few but I hope this helps! Some of the punctuation may be wrong as I thought the dashes were quite confusing.

Explanation:

555 Centralia Boulevard

Abbotsville, South Carolina

June 7, 2015

Dear Aunt Mary,

This letter is to thank you for my trip to New York City.—I loved every moment of the trip you so thoughtfully gave me as my graduation present.—Would you like to hear about some of my favorite moments?—

Our plane landed at Kennedy international airport on Friday afternoon and we took a cab to our hotel in times square.—Our concierge helped us get tickets to these wonderful Broadway plays, – The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime,-The King and I,- and on The Town.—Mom and I liked them all

.

( I believe the listed plays should be capitalized.)

On Saturday we took a ferry ride to liberty island and toured the Statue of Liberty.—It was so much bigger than I had ever imagined.—On the ferry we met some other people from South Carolina who were also on graduation trips.—One guy recognized my Clemson tee shirt and asked about it.—He said, "Do you go there?"—I said, "I will start in the fall."—Then he said, "I go there."—After that we exchanged emails and cell phone numbers.—Now I already have a friend on that campus

.

In between the excursion to Liberty Island and the Broadway shows mom and I got some time for shopping at Bloomingdales and Barneys.—I'll look fabulous in my new clothes.—I will send you some photos to show what we bought.—I even picked up some neat things for Charley at Fao Schwarz but I think ill make him wait until his birthday

.

When Monday morning came, Mom and I tried to think of some excuse to stay longer but we headed out to the airport like the responsible people we are.—Guess who was waiting for the flight to South Carolina in the very same gate.—If you guessed the guy I met at the Statue of Liberty, you're right.—He changed his seat assignment and we sat together the whole way home

.

Aunt Mary, the trip was the best graduation present ever and I love you very much.—Next time the trip will be my present to you, just as soon as I graduate and get a very good job.

Love from your favorite niece,

Alexis
