Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turn

ed out to be the most significant event in our lives. If we had made it to the gym that day instead of the library, more than likely the streets would have swallowed us in the next few years. We never would have become doctors. Every­thing we needed to start on the road to success was included in one forty-five-minute presentation. And we almost missed it.
This was the first time that a path to my dreams was shown to me. Deep inside, I knew I could accomplish anything if given the chance. I just didn't know how to find that opportunity. That presentation showed me the possibility of reaching goals I had only dared to dream about. I think if a person dreams hard enough, sometimes a door will open to make that dream come true. Of course, it helps to be prepared to go through the door when the opportunity arises. We almost missed it.

We also had no idea that day that we were forming a pact that would last a lifetime. We just knew that somehow each of us individually might fail, but the strength of the three of us together just might be enough to succeed.

—We Beat the Street,
Sampson Davis et al

Based on the central ideas and details from the passage, write one to three sentences summarizing how the three friends changed and stayed the same after seeing the presentation.

Which MOST CLOSELY matches the literary style and time period
Dmitriy789 [7]

<u>Answer</u>:

That which most closely matches the literary style and time period common to both excerpts is Realism. Realism writers had an interest in understanding society and individual emotions, actions, and motivations. So, here the right answer would be Option C.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The literary realism movement kicked off in the middle of the nineteenth century and went on till the beginning of the next century. Its major catch is that it rejected imaginative idealisation and focused on resembling definite and detailed pictures of the reality be it nature or life.

Literary realism anchors on capturing real life accurately starting from the clothes, setting and light. They believed in creating honest and unadorned art and literature .

Which word is the preposition and which word is the object of the preposition in the sentence?
just olya [345]
Very simple, the prepositional phrase in the sentence is "Near the wooded island." The preposition is always at the beginning of the prepositional phrase and in this instance it would be 'near'. Likewise, the object of the preposition is always at the end of the prepositional phrase and in this case is 'island'. So the answer to this problem is C.
