The answer is (b) to establish tone and communicate the message
Answer:
The theme of this text is:
<u><em>Sometimes the answer is right in front of you and the easiest path is the best path.</em></u>
Explanation:
"He decided that he would play basketball instead."
"and then he read comic books."
"He watched movies."
"Read about classic cars."
"He played the guitar."
"and cooked a meal for his family instead."
These are all things that he could've written about but, instead he didn't for many or a few reasons. He was lazy to work on it, and didn't think hard on it, he didn't want to do it and wanted to do something more fun, always in the back of his mind there was something interesting but, he wasn't thinking about the assignment. He was thinking about doing that interesting thing.
Question 2
Answer: Across the bay, fleets of old fishing boats was seen on the horizon.
Explanation: The subject <em>fleets</em> (plural noun) <em>of old fishing boats </em>mismatches the verb <em>was seen </em>(only for I/he/she/it)
Question 5
Answer: John cried.
Explanation: This sentence is the only one with a subject and a predicate. "Because he wasn't hungry" is a reason clause that must depend on another sentence. "Rebekah drove a race car she won three races" is not a valid sentence unless you place a semicolon after the word "car" to separate the two predicates in it (or a period to make two separate sentences).
Question 10
Answer: I studied
Explanation: The subject "I" is not properly divided from the verb (studied), complement (for the test) and the independent clause joined by the word "but" (but I still didn't pass it).
B)I can think of about 15 ways to define the word /cool/ in that sentence.
