Choose the correct direct speech. Jane told me that she had waited for her friend

English
1 answer:
Sladkaya [172]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: c. Jane said to me, “ I waited for my friend.”

Explanation:

Direct speech is meant to report the things said by a person in the exact way that they said it.

One reason option A is wrong is that Jane said she had waited for the friend which made it past tense but in option A she was using a future continuous tense.

One reason option B is wrong is that it made it seem as though Jane was waiting for the speaker's friend not her own. For this same reason option D is wrong as well.

Option C is correct because it properly converts the indirect speech used by the speaker to direct speech.

In these excerpts, how do both men use their personal histories to achieve their purpose? Both men use their past experiences to
il63 [147K]

Answer: Both men use their past experiences to show readers that they persevered and became accomplished readers and writers.

Explanation:

The first passage is from <em>"Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery " </em>(1791), a book written by Ottobah Cugoano. The author describes his experience of being taken as a child and sold into slavery.

In the first excerpt, Cugoano describes that, when he saw people who read and write in England, he wished to learn to do it himself. Once he learned to read and write, the author continued to educate himself.

In the second excerpt, from <em>"Letters of the late Ignatius Sancho, an African", </em>written by Ignatius Sancho who was born as a slave, the author describes his experience of serving in a family where they judged ignorance. However, when he was placed in a better family, he began to enjoy reading.  

It is evident that both authors never gave up reading, and thus became quite successful as writers as well.
