Read the excerpt from It's Our World, Too!: Young People Who Are Making a Difference. When they entered the board's meeting room

, Neto was terrified. They were alone with the ten white men who were the members of the Marsing school board. "I couldn't believe I was really doing this," Neto recalls. "Then I heard Baldy say, 'Neto wants to talk with you about the football team.' "So I just started. I told them I was quitting and why. I told them word-for-word what I had heard. Only one of them looked like he was really listening. When I was finished, they thanked me for coming, but they didn't say they would do anything about it. I went home thinking, Well, at least I tried. Now they can't say nobody told them." Which detail from the excerpt best indicates that one of the author’s purposes in writing It's Our World, Too!: Young People Who Are Making a Difference was to create suspense?

Answer: The excerpt: Neto was terrified. They were alone with the ten white men who were the members of the Marsing school board. "I couldn't believe I was really doing this," best indicates the suspense that the author wanted to create.

Explanation: When writing a story, suspense must be used to surpass the reader's expectations. This is achieved by controlling information. In the text, the author started out describing Neto's nervousness and how scary the scenary was, using words as "alone" and "ten men". Moreover, Neto's words lead the leader to the peak of suspense, letting them wonder about the end of the events. The author best indicated his purpose by leaving what Neto had to say for the end.

Which sentence uses a nominative case pronoun
Misha Larkins [42]

First, what are the sentences that you need to analyze?

Nominative case pronouns are I, you, he, she, it, we, they, who, whoever.

They are the SUBJECTS of sentences, or the doers of the actions. Pronouns take the place of nouns, and when a pronoun takes the place of a noun in the subject of a sentence it is in the nominative case. Nominative case pronouns DO things. They always tell who or what acted in the sentence because they are the subject of the sentence.

*HINT: the root 'nom' in the word nominative means 'to name', so think of the pronoun naming the doer of the action.

Examples:

I went to the grocery store. (I is the nominative pronoun and the subject of the sentence, went is the verb. I names who went to the store.)

Are they going to go to the store this morning? (THEY is the nominative pronoun and the subject of the sentence, are going is the verb. You names who is going to the store.)

You must think that John loves cookies! (YOU is the nominative pronoun and the subject of the sentence, must think is the verb. You names what person loves cookies.)

Whoever decides on a book had better choose a good one for book club! (WHOEVER is the nominative pronoun and the subject of the sentence, decides is the verb. Whoever names who decides on a book.)

We sang a song to the children. (WE is the nominative pronoun and the subject of the sentence, sang is the verb. We names who sang a song to the children.)
