Make a word that means “likely to do things”

How does the writer use context clues to help the reader understand the meaning of the word earnest

k0ka [10]

The correct answer to how the writer uses context clues to indicate the meaning of earnest is C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.

In this passage, when the writer says "Unlike many of the candidates", he or she implies that the following adjectives that refer to them would be opposed to what Melissa delivered in her speech. The candidates "seemed insincere and uncaring", while "Melissa delivered her speech in earnest". Therefore, "insincere and uncaring" would be antonyms of "earnest", allowing the reader to infer the meaning of earnest. So, the correct answer would be C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.

The correct answer couldn't be A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest because of the word "unlike", which conveys that the following words are not similar to earnest. On the contrary, the writer uses antonyms to give clues about the meaning of earnest. Hence, the correct answer couldn't be A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest.

The correct answer couldn't be B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word because the writer doesn't create any pictures in this passage, he or she only uses descriptions to refer to the other candidates' speeches and Melissa's speech. Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word.

The correct answer couldn't be D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...) because the writer doesn't rephrase the word earnest; there is no explanation about it or any kind of alternative expressions or explanations that could allow the reader to infer its meaning. So, the correct answer couldn't be D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...).

I been outta school but I gotta question ? why is my nose running like water?

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Maybe you have some sort of allergy. This isn't always the case, maybe you got water up your nose and its coming back out, or maybe you have fluids that need to leave your body. Or just maybe you're sick. In which case wear a mask when going outside.

Dietrich's experience in this passage demonstrates which of the following themes:

Phantasy [73]

According to the statement above: "Dietrich's experience in this passage demonstrates which of the following themes:

"I can't believe we got stuck with Dietrich as a lab partner," groaned Grable.

"What rotten luck," Bacall agreed. "Maybe Dr. Hayworth will let us switch groups."

"Here he comes, you guys," warned Monroe. "Try to be nice to him. How would you feel if you were the new student in school?"

"He isn't just a new student," Grable said. "He was kicked out of his last school for cheating on an exam. Do you want your grade to depend on a cheater?"

"I want to be a nice person more than I want to get an A," Monroe said with a stubborn look on her face.

"What do you guys think about this project?" asked Dietrich as he approached the girls. "It looks pretty tough to me, but I think we're up to the challenge."

"As long as we keep everything nice and ethical, we should be fine," Bacall replied with an insincere smile. Dietrich's face turned bright red, and he cleared his throat.

"I guess you've heard about my past," he said with a sigh. "I was hoping that I could make a fresh start at this school."

"Why don't you tell us your side of the story?" suggested Monroe.

"I made a wrong decision last year and cheated on a math exam," Dietrich admitted. "My teacher caught me, and I was kicked out of school. I'll never do anything like that again, I swear. In fact, I spent all summer volunteering with the Inner City Tutoring Program. I've changed my ways, and I hope that people can start to forget about the past. Everyone has been saying nasty things about me behind my back, and I don't have a single friend here. It's been a lonely few weeks."

"Everyone else at this school may think of you as a cheater, but from now on, we'll consider you a friend," promised Monroe.

"We can do even better than that," Grable said. "We can start spreading the truth around school instead of lies. By this time next week, everyone will know what kind of person you really are, Dietrich."

"Thanks, guys," replied Dietrich with a grateful smile.

a. A new school is the best place to start over.

b. Gossip can have a negative impact on people.

c. Peer pressure often results in bad choices.

d. People are always willing to believe the best"

The answer is: B. Gossip can have a negative impact on people.

Hope this helps.
