Answer:

The word "straight" functions as:

A. sentence 1: adverb

    sentence 2: adjective

Explanation:

An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. It can indicate how, when, where and other circumstances about the action performed, or the intensity of a quality, for instance. In the sentence 'Aline exclaimed, “Wow! That guy went straight through the goal!”' we have <u>"straight" functioning as an adverb. Notice that it is modifying the verb "went", indicating manner, that is, how the guy went.</u>

An adjective is a word that modifies a noun, attributing a quality to it. In the sentence "In the unicycle hockey game, the players had to sprint in straight lines and whirl in circles at other times in  order to make goals," <u>"straight" is functioning as an adjective, modifying the noun "lines". Now we know that the lines did not make any curves.</u>

what descriptive details does the author employ to help readers create a picture of Sanaz? This is from the story "reading lolit
Wewaii [24]

Sanaz is described as being divided between two men: her rich younger brother who controls his sister and Ali, her significant other who had left to England six years prior. Her brother then starts getting paranoid and following her, listening to her phone conversations and spying. This gives a good feeling of her life and actions.

The author also describes Sanaz as having beautiful long hair, which she constantly flicks, but hides beneath it. She also wears a scarf over golden earrings and wears a robe over her orange shirt and jeans, enabling the reader to picture her looks.

Finally, she is also said to take pride on her hair and desires more freedom than she currently has, but walk on the streets trying to hide from the cold unforgiving world.

natta225 [31]
The word mother should not be capitalized every single time since it is not usually a proper now. The only time it should be capitalized is at the beginning of a sentence or if it is a part of the persons name, which would make it a proper now (e.g. Mother Theresa).
