What do you think of jimmys actions

English

Answer:

There is a slight weakness in the ending of O. Henry's story. The reader is expected to admire Jimmy Wells for doing his duty in having "Silky" Bob arrested. This makes Jimmy seem like a "staunch" character (to borrow from Bob's description of him). However, he was not "staunch" enough to make the arrest himself. This may be a sign of compassion, but it is also a sign of fecklessness. What would his superiors think of him if they found out that he had been talking face to face with a man who was wanted by the law and didn't make the arrest himself? Could he explain that dereliction of duty to them as well as he explains it to Bob in his note?

After spending some minutes talking to Bob without being recognized, Jimmy takes pains to establish how long his old friend will be waiting there in the doorway.

Explanation:

"I'll be on my way. Hope your friend comes around all right. Going to call time on him sharp?"

"I should say not!" said the other. "I'll give him half an hour at least. If Jimmy is alive on earth he'll be here by that time. So long, officer."

"Good-night, sir," said the policeman, passing on along his beat, trying doors as he went.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

1. She swam the English Channel several times in the past year, and felt extremely accomplished afterwards.

2. My brother and I need to buy shirts, pants, socks, and shoes for school. So we really hope our parents have enough money.

3. The dogs' tails wagged as father gave them John's leftovers. John looked at them in anger.

Explanation:

The question we are answering here demands a thorough knowledge of English since it includes several different types of grammatical mistakes. Let's explain them:

1. Proper nouns, such as names of rivers, oceans, countries, and people, should be capitalized: "John", "English Channel".

2. We should use commas to separate the items in a list: "shirts, pants, socks, and shoes."

3. Irregular verbs have their own past form: swim - swam ("swimmed" does not exist)

4. We should try to maintain the same verb tense when the passage talks of actions that happened in the same period of time: need / hope; wagged / looked

5. Some words sound the same but are spelled differently. That is the case with "passed", which is a verb, and "past" which can be a noun or an adjective.  That is also the case with "bye" and "buy". We must select the correct one to convey the proper meaning.

6. "Enuf" is a spelling that may be used in very informal conversation - texting with friends, for example. The correct spelling is "enough".

7. In number 2, there is a question mark where there is no question. It should be dropped and replaced with a period.
