Answer:
The correct answer would be option b:"The author once felt pride and optimism about the war".
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the author says that "he was proud of the young American pilots sitting at the controls in the cockpit" and that "he was grateful for the opportunity to witness this adventure and report it".
It just says that he was excited to get on a U.S Army helicopter, it does not say nor infer that is was his first flying experience, therefore, option a is incorrect.
It doesn't say and it cannot be inferred that the U.S soldiers are trained in hand to hand combat, so option c is also incorrect.
The author barely mentions the Vietcong guerillas, and he does not seem to have any respect for them since he was excited about war, so option d is also incorrect.
Answer: C.
Explanation:
The colon is referred to as a punctuation mark that is made up of two dots that are placed above one another. A colon is normally used before a quotation, an explanation or a list.
Therefore, the sentences that used a colon correctly will be "We considered the following name for our cat: Smokey, Oscar, and Sock Thief".
Here, the colon is used before the list of the cats.
Extensive writing is formal writing written with defined structures and stylistic conventions to be aesthetically pleasant for readers; this is because reflexive writing is formal and its main focus is to communicate information; in other words, reflexive writing is meant to share certain kind of information clearly and effectively. Reflexive writing, on the other hand, is personal and much more flexible in terms of style and structures, which makes it more difficult to master. Reflexive writing focus on the toughs an emotions of the author rather than the form. An author that is able to use reflexive writing defectively, is an author that has a deeper connection with their writing, which takes practice and time.
We can conclude that the correct answer is: Reflexive writing is used by accomplished writers, while extensive writing is used by beginning writers.
