English

Answer: Hi there, I think your answer would be E (Entertain).

Explanation: This passage is an excerpt from a story. Stories are often used to entertain people through creative uses of language. This passage also has many comedic traits, such as the characters' use of slang and a hilarious conflict. You wouldn't find these in a lot of texts meant to inform or persuade an audience.

I hope this helps! :)

Read the following paragraph, and choose the best revision for one of its sentences.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

b. Because every other office is filled, we should convert Dr. Blake’s office into a lounge.

Explanation:

Looking at the sentence of the whole passage, the flow of the sentences is smooth until the parallel structuring of the sentences in the end. Instead of mentioning "<em><u>each and every one of the other offices</u></em>", the sentence can be made more fluent and easy flowing by just saying "<em><u>every other office</u></em>". This will also stop the monotonous flow of words. Also, changing the way of narration in the word "recommend" to a direct form of addressing the idea will make the statement more forward and direct.

Thus, the best revision for the sentence will be-

<u>Because every other office is filled, we should convert Dr. Blake’s office into a lounge.</u>

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

1. Lito creatively done his project in all his subjects. - adverbs of manner placed before the preposition

2. She honestly speaks with her classmates her concern about their group work. - adverbs of manner placed before the main verb.

3. Eventually, she already understands the meaning of love. - adverbs of manner placed at the beginning of a sentence. 

4. The boy bravely faced his strict father. - adverbs of manner placed before both the verb and the object.

5. My mother requested me to climb the tree carefully. - adverbs of manner placed after the object.

Explanation:

The above are correct. I have been able to classify the placement of the adverbs of manner in each sentence.

An adverb is known to be a word which describes, explains or gives more information about a verb, an adjective, adverb or even a phrase.

An adverb of manner is known as an adverb which actually describes how and in what way an action takes place. It can also be called manner adverbs or manner adverbials.

From the sentences above, we see that each adverb in the sentence describes to us how an action is carried out.
