Answer and Explanation:

There is the same error repeated in two places in this sentence. This is because the sentence needs conjunctions before the verb "to fly" and before the word "lucy". Conjunctions are words that allow connections between the clauses of a sentence, allowing them to be read with fluidity and cohesion. Without these conjunctions, sentences are incorrect and incoherent.

The sentence written with the conjunctions correctly would be:

"Learning how to fly a plane and swimming were two skills that Lucy really wanted to learn."

Answer:

to illustrate how much Alfonso cares about outward appearances

Explanation:

Soto most likely described Alfonso's attention to his bike and his teeth at the same time to show that he cared too much about outward appearances.

From the excerpt, Alfonso is described as balancing his bike on the handlebars and seat and cleaning the spokes with a sock and at the same time, he pressed a knuckle to his teeth until it tingled which shows that he cared about the appearance of his bike and teeth. Alfonso shows great attention to detail in both cases because he likely cares about his outward appearance.

likoan [24]
Well if she cheats she will probably get caught on some sort of CCTV (camera) if not by some staff. If she doesn't cheer them she will fail and everyone will go 'boo hoo' ( if u get what mean) The main issue is that she will force herself to cheat and waste time getting her cheat notes ready shares she can revise.

Wittaler [7]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Dr. Dowell says that we need to be prepared for a pandemic. He thinks every nation should have an emergency  plan. More medications like Tamiflu should be available. He thinks rich countries like the U.S. should help poor  countries pay for medicine and health care.

Why does the author most likely include this information at the end of the text instead of at the beginning?

A. because it draws a conclusion based on the evidence presented throughout the text

B. because it offers new evidence that is meant to help readers better understand the text

C. because it poses new questions for readers to think about now that they have read the text

D. because it offers supplemental information that readers can compare to evidence presented in the text

Answer:

The author includes this information at the end of the text:

A. because it draws a conclusion based on the evidence presented throughout the text .

Explanation:

After discussing and presenting evidence throughout the text, author John DiConsiglio is now ready to conclude it. What he presents at the end cannot be new evidence or supplemental information, for that would not be a conclusion at all. He is also not presenting questions - he is making statements. Those statements are based on the information presented previously, supported by it. What the author wants now is to show how important that information was and how we can use it to be prepared for future cases of the disease.
