Answer:

B. Replace repetitive words with pronouns.

Explanation:

When revising repetitive writing, you can replace repetitive words with synonyms, combine sentences with repeated words, and/or delete sentences with similar ideas. You can do this because these help the writing to flow smoother and more efficiently.

On the other hand, replacing repetitive words with pronouns is what you should not do. Read the example that follows:

"I love cats. I love cats so much I want to own a cat one day."

You can see how it is repetitive, right? Now if you replaced the repeating words with pronouns...

"I love cats. I love them so much I want to own them one day."

It does not fix the problem, right?

On the other hand, if you combined the sentences and replace the worlds with synonyms:

"I love cats, so much so that I want to own one someday."

It fixes the issue, correct?

Hope this helps!

As i lay dying character dewey dell described physically

Dewey Dell is the second-to-youngest Bundren child, and the only daughter of Anseand Addie. Dewey Dell does not narrate many sections throughout the novel, though she is arguably one of the most tragic characters in the book: she is impregnated by the farmhand Lafe, who then leaves her with nothing more than ten dollars for an abortion. Later, she is cheated by a drug store clerk into having sex with him and then is given what she is sure (correctly) is fake medicine. Just pages later, Anse takes her abortion money to buy his teeth, leaving Dewy Dell with next to nothing at the end of the novel.

Not counting the information in the photo captions, what can you learn from Newsies about what life was like for newsies in New

abruzzese [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

You did not attach the photo captions. However, we can comment on this.

What can I learn from Newsies about what life was like for newsies in New York City in the late 1800s is that it was clear that life was not easy in New York City in the late 1800s.

Indeed, life was hard, more for poor people who had to make a living every day in order to survive.

In the case of the Newsies, they were orphans or boys who lived in the streets and sold newspapers to earn some money to make a living. They had to pay for the newspapers they tried to sell, and if they did not sell all the newspapers, the newspaper company did not reimburse their money.

These boys were exploited by powerful news tycoons like Randolph Hearst or Joseph Pulitzer. That is why the Newsies decided to go on strike on July 21, 1899.
