Answer:

c The longhorns had been skittish, but Johnny Chillers—who was named for the old Chillers trail—sang to them whenever they started to spook to calm them down.

Explanation:

The best revision that corrects Sam's error in the use of dashes to set off a clause is option C because it correctly separates the group of words which indicates a pause to emphasize that what Johnny Chillers was named after.

An em dash is used to show a pause and are also used to separate groups of words and their usage can be interchanged with commas or hyphens.

50 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

<em>hey there,</em>

*You never provided a passage set, so I will just write what I think about this, personally, and I cannot include any evidence from sources, since you didn't give any here.

Also, it says "no plagiarism, I will know" so please don't copy this exactly but instead use the <em>ideas</em> I have provided in what I wrote.*

I think that having competitive team sports in high schools is a good thing. Competitive team sports have shown for a long time to be good for students. First, high schoolers will be able to experience what it's like to be on a team and get to socialize or make new friends. Second, students get to compete for awards and pride from their school, which makes a lot of kids happy. Last, sports provide a lot of exercises which is very important during your teenage years.

Being on a team is something to cherish for a long time. A lot of students already have many great friends, but there is always space for new people to add to your life. Talking to people is proven to make you happier and sometimes even do better in school. Losing or winning together as a team is much funner than alone. Practicing together daily or weekly lets you spend more time with them. Even hanging out outside of school will be a memory you will never forget.

Continuing on, competing is something kids have always loved. Whether it is a beauty pageant or a baseball game, winning always makes you feel good. Some kids have rows of medals and trophies in their rooms, and winning more with their team in high school will add to their collection. Years later, high school students will look back and see the memories brought from each trophy and remember each game, including how they won, and what made them happy. The school they go to will add their trophies and hang up posters, sometimes, to show respect for the winner of games.

Lastly, playing sports is something that should always be done. The more you do sports, the better you feel in general. Developing healthy habits at a young age is extremely important. It's much more exciting to get your physical education while doing something you love. Doing a quick stretch or a few jumping jacks before every game will get your body moving and your heart racing. It has been proven to help with mental problems of teenagers and helps students do better in school.

To sum up, doing competitive sports in high school is something that should always be done because of the great benefits you get like being on a team, winning medals, and getting good exercise. Those were my reasons why all high schools should be providing competitive team sports.

<u>Hope this helped! Feel free to ask anything else.</u>
