The first article is about the promotion of a lady from Seattle to an important position at a private company. The fact that the article begins by the sentence “the news is out!” implies up front that it is an important event for its readers and that apparently this lady is an influential and respected member of the community and that this promotion is beneficial for it and for the lady herself.
The second article is obviously a news report on a police investigation. It starts with the mention of “two witnesses”, implying that they were witnesses to a crime, which is confirmed immediately after the opening line. The crime itself has a name (Grand Forks robbery) which demonstrates that the crime was a serious and had dramatic repercussions for the community where it occurred. Even the police official who is interviewed by the press holds an important rank which further underscores the gravity of the offense.
"<span>D. chose" should take the place of "been choosing" since this happened in the past, so there needs to be a past-tense verb in clarify the time of the action.</span>
Dual Enrollment Course
AP courses and college board courses both rely on test scores in order to earn college credits. These require the student to get a certain grade on the final exam in order to receive college credits. It awards credits based on student outcome for one assessment rather than the entire body of work and effort. Dual Enrollment Courses do not depend on a standardized test score to award college credits. They are earned if the student earns a C or better in the class. It should be noted however that not all colleges will accept dual enrollment courses for transfer credits no matter the grade.
I think that the question you are asking is who said "Give me liberty, or give me death", and the answer to that is Patrick Henry.
