What's the difference between vague and precise verbs?
m_a_m_a [10]

The correct answer is Precise verbs are easier to imagine

Explanation:

Precise verbs differ from vague verbs because these refer to very specific actions or states. For example, the verbs "mutter" or "crawl" are precise verbs because these refer to very specific actions. On the other hand, the verb "move" is vague because this does not explain how the movement occurs. Moreover, precise verbs allow the reader to imagine precisely the action described, and therefore are easier to imagine and are more suitable to create precise descriptions.

Read the following paragraph, and choose the best revision for one of its sentences.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

b. Because every other office is filled, we should convert Dr. Blake’s office into a lounge.

Explanation:

Looking at the sentence of the whole passage, the flow of the sentences is smooth until the parallel structuring of the sentences in the end. Instead of mentioning "<em><u>each and every one of the other offices</u></em>", the sentence can be made more fluent and easy flowing by just saying "<em><u>every other office</u></em>". This will also stop the monotonous flow of words. Also, changing the way of narration in the word "recommend" to a direct form of addressing the idea will make the statement more forward and direct.

Thus, the best revision for the sentence will be-

<u>Because every other office is filled, we should convert Dr. Blake’s office into a lounge.</u>

Any ideas how would homework trips lunch time and students activity look differently
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

here u go!

Explanation:

Homework would be reduced, reducing homework can lead to  better mental/physical health. Less assignments helps students focus on each class for long time periods. Ex, If a student had 5 classes a day with each class assigning 2-3 assignments, the student would easily become stressed out and may not finish the work. If homework was reduced, the student may have 1-2 assignments for each class, which allows the student to focus on one class for a long time or for the student to have more free time. Trips would be increased, it would allow the students to take a break from everything and let their bodys calm down for a second. Lunch time would be 47 minutes, maybe 7-10 minutes waiting for lunch and the rest is to enjoy your meal, talk to friends, catch up on homework. The lunch menu would be fixed to satisfy the students and include  more diverse options (for vegans, vegetarians, etc). Student activity would be another thing that is increased. The addition of more sports and after school clubs would help students socialize and build their personality.
