I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed

of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. Which phrase from this excerpt best indicates to the reader that the purpose of this essay is to inform?

Answer:

“I know this for a fact”

Explanation:

The phrase “I know this for a fact” gives us the idea that the speaker is aiming not to persuade, argue or entertain but to communicate or inform readers about their childhood experience. Besides, in the rest of the excerpt, the speaker uses a casual language to describe how the speaker viewed their mother, which also supports the author's purpose of sharing information.

emmasim [6.3K]
  • "I would explain to him that while collecting coins is his hobby, I have other hobbies of my own which includes hiking and bike racing.

  • I do not find the collection of coins as a fun thing to do in my pass time as it does not pump my adrenaline the way bike racing and hiking does.

  • I am sure that my father would understand my decision to follow what makes me happy, the same way he does what makes him happy, which  is collecting coins."

  • The above is the template that you can use to write your essay to make your argument as to why you cannot do what your father wants you to do.

Adapted from Autumntime
Ilya [14]

Answer:

i do not know

Explanation:

I saw my first tree today. Oh, I've seen the plastic trees; practically every street has a few of them.

The O'Brien home was one of the few examples of old-style wooden structures that hadn't been demolished in Boston's urban-renewal campaign at the turn of the century.

The home itself was unimpressive. It had none of the marble gloss or steely sheen of modern buildings but was rather a dull white color, with the paint peeling in places.

My mind was on the tree, and I thought the inside tour would never end, but soon we were walking through a doorway hidden in one of the bookshelves and into the back yard. The yard was big — at least 10 by 20 feet — and I was surprised to find real grass growing on the sides of the concrete walkway built for tourists. The grass didn't distract me for long, however, because I just couldn't help noticing the tree!

It was located at one end of the yard, and there was a mesh fence around it for protection. It was similar in form to the plastic trees I'd seen, but there was much more to it than that. You could see details more intricate than in any artificial plant. And it was alive. But best of all was the smell. It was a fresh, living odor, alien to the antiseptic1 world outside with all its metal, plastic, and glass. I wanted to touch the bark, but the fence prevented me from doing so. The three of us stood there for a moment, and then the tour guide told us to make room for the next group. I didn't want to go — in fact, I felt almost like crying.

On the way back home, Mom and Dad were silent, and I read through one of the brochures the guide had passed out. When I came to the part that said the O'Brien home would be open only for the rest of this year, I was sad. They intend to tear down the place to make room for some kind of insurance building, and the tree will have to go, too.

For the rest of the trip, I just sat still, fingering the object in my pocket which I had picked off the grass in the O'Brien's back yard. I think it's called an acorn.

1. very clean, especially as to be bland

Which of the following contributes to the theme?

A. The narrator collects and pockets an acorn from the grass by the tree before he leaves.

B. The inside tour of the O'Brien home is not as impressive as the narrator had hoped.

C. Old structures and trees were destroyed during the Boston urban-renewal campaign.

D. The real tree is more detailed and smells fresher than the plastic trees that line the streets.

Read the excerpt from Jawaharlal Nehru’s speech "A Tryst with Destiny.”
kramer

Answer:

1. People are still living in poverty and inequality in India.

3. Millions of people are suffering and are in need of help.

Explanation:

"Tryst with Destiny" was a speech made by <em>Jawaharlal Neru</em>, an Indian independence activist who served as India's first Prime Minister. The speech as made when India gained its independence from the British Empire.

The speech was meant to tell the people of the history of India until it, finally, was able to achieve freedom. It talks about suffering of all the people who never gave up for that particular day (liberation day) to finally arrive.

Although India is finally free, it is still a problem for the nation to end the millions of people who are suffering. So, this means that these millions of people are in need of help. This is because many people are still living in poverty and inequality in India. Thus, the goal for India's full liberation is not yet achieved. It is then important that people help each other.
