This is what I wrote:

    The author of “A Relay Race to Remember” uses foreshadowing to create tension in the story. The author describes how the pain in Malik’s ankle is getting worse and worse. The author reveals Malik’s thoughts. The reader can see that Malik is not so confident that he can win because of his ankle, and this makes the reader nervous for Malik. The author describes the pain very specifically and uses a simile to show how much Malik’s ankle hurt. This gives the reader a better understanding of Malik and makes readers think and debate whether or not Malik is going to win or not. Then the author unexpectedly turns the course of events and Malik doesn’t swim at all. Now the readers start to worry about Sean and if he will win or not. The end releases the tension and the readers are relieved that everything turned out so well.

Hope this helps!

(A) A stone cannot be ethical because________. (B) whereas human can be ethical because_________.
ra1l [238]
You didn't give the options. However, i'll try.

To me, a stone cannot be ethical because it cannot suffer. Indeed, the capacity for suffering must be satisfied before we talk about interest in a meaningful way. For instance, nothing we could possibly do for a stone could make a difference in its welfare. It don't have interest.  Whereas, we, humans have interest. Therefore we can be ethical because we are sentient beings that can be benifited or harmed. It's because we can experience pain as a result.

Hope this helps !

What noun or pronoun is identified by an appositive? Hemingway's novel, The Old Man and the Sea, is a short, but good book.
Veronika [31]
An appositive is a noun/pronoun phrase that re-classifies/names the noun beside it.

Example, the dog, Ginger, barked happily at me.

The appositive would be Ginger. 'Ginger' renames/names ''the dog''. 

The noun is Hemingway's novel, what renames it is 'The Old Man and the Sea'.
