Hey! The answer your teacher is looking for might be subjective. That said, my response might not be correct even if it's valid.

Characteristics:

* Story presents clear, fast worldbuilding

* Story can convey a comprehensive theme in a short period of time

* Story has a concise narrative without dragging / rushing through key points.

Conflict:

A 2004 book by Christopher Booker lists 7 widely recognized archetypes for storytelling:

Overcoming the Monster

Rags to Riches

The Quest

Voyage and Return

Comedy

Tragedy

Rebirth

I'm gonna assume you can guess the conflict(s) of each archetype based on the names; just choose three of them.

Characters:

This is very subjective, but the most obvious answer is a protagonist, antagonist, and static / flat character (doesn't change throughout the story, serves some kind of supporting role).

Conditions:

Time and place; since it's such a simple answer, your teacher probably wants you to explain how these factors affect character behavior / the progression of a story.

I hope this helped!

Today is my favorite day of the<br> Thursday!<br> Choose 1 answer:<br> A<br> week;<br> B<br> week:
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The correct answer would be: B

Today is my favorite day of the week: Thursday.

Explanation:

<u>Rule 1b represents the answer to your question</u>

Rule 1a. Use a colon to introduce an item or a series of items. Do not capitalize the first item after the colon (unless it's a proper noun).

Examples:

You know what to do: practice.

You may be required to bring many things: sleeping bags, pans, utensils, and warm clothing.

I want the following items: butter, sugar, and flour.

I need an assistant who can do the following: input data, write reports, and complete tax forms.

Rule 1b. A capital letter generally does not introduce a word, phrase, or incomplete sentence following a colon.

Examples:

He got what he worked for: a promotion.

He got what he worked for: a promotion that paid a higher wage.

Rule 2. Avoid using a colon before a list if it directly follows a verb or preposition that would ordinarily need no punctuation in that sentence.

Not recommended: I want: butter, sugar, and flour.

Recommended: I want butter, sugar, and flour.

OR

Here is what I want: butter, sugar, and flour.

Not recommended: I've seen the greats, including: Barrymore, Guinness, and Streep.

Recommended: I've seen the greats, including Barrymore, Guinness, and Streep.

Examples:

I want an assistant who can do the following:

input data

write reports

complete tax forms

The following are requested:

Wool sweaters for possible cold weather.

Wet suits for snorkeling.

Introductions to the local dignitaries.

These are the pool rules:

Do not run.

If you see unsafe behavior, report it to the lifeguard.

Did you remember your towel?

Have fun!

Rule 3. When listing items one by one, one per line, following a colon, capitalization and ending punctuation are optional when using single words or phrases preceded by letters, numbers, or bullet points. If each point is a complete sentence, capitalize the first word and end the sentence with appropriate ending punctuation. Otherwise, there are no hard and fast rules, except be consistent.

Rule 4. A colon instead of a semicolon may be used between independent clauses when the second sentence explains, illustrates, paraphrases, or expands on the first sentence.

Example: He got what he worked for: he really earned that promotion.

If a complete sentence follows a colon, as in the previous example, authorities are divided over whether to capitalize the first word. Some writers and editors feel that capitalizing a complete sentence after a colon is always advisable. Others advise against it. Still others regard it as a judgment call: If what follows the colon is closely related to what precedes it, there is no need for a capital. But if what follows is a general or formal statement, many writers and editors capitalize the first word.

Example: Remember the old saying: Be careful what you wish for.

Rule 5. Capitalize the first word of a complete or full-sentence quotation that follows a colon.

Example: The host made an announcement: "You are all staying for dinner."

Rule 6. Capitalize the first word after a colon if the information following the colon requires two or more complete sentences.

Example: Dad gave us these rules to live by: Work hard. Be honest. Always show up on time.

Rule 7. If a quotation contains two or more sentences, many writers and editors introduce it with a colon rather than a comma.

Example: Dad often said to me: "Work hard. Be honest. Always show up on time."

Rule 8. For extended quotations introduced by a colon, some style manuals say to indent one-half inch on both the left and right margins; others say to indent only on the left margin. Quotation marks are not used.

Example: The author of Touched, Jane Straus, wrote in the first chapter:

Georgia went back to her bed and stared at the intricate patterns of burned moth wings in the translucent glass of the overhead light. Her father was in "hyper mode" again where nothing could calm him down.

Rule 9. Use a colon rather than a comma to follow the salutation in a business letter, even when addressing someone by his or her first name. (Never use a semicolon after a salutation.) A comma is used after the salutation in more informal correspondence.

Examples:

Dear Ms. Rodriguez:

Dear Dave,

Please Mark BRAINLIEST

The reader can logically predict that the narrator will most
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Watch the movie and then buy his sister a gift she will  enjoy.

Explanation:

The given passage from "The Quinceanera" shows how the narrator was in a dilemma on what to do- either get his sister a gift or go to the movies which he had already planned to see. He knows he has to get the gift but he also did not want to miss the movie.

And then, he mentioned that his sister loved movies so maybe he can get "two birds with one stone". He will go to the movies and get her move tickets for a gift, which simplifies his dilemma. So, going along the narrative, we can best predict that he will go to the movies and then get her a gift she will enjoy.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Fofino [41]

The narrative's main character is a Kaleidoscope. A kaleidoscope is a colorful tube with smooth parts. glass. A translucent substance protects one end. On the opposite end, a small eyehole may be observed.

When you look through the kaleidoscope, you may discover patterns and colors arranged in a pattern that emerges from a center point. When you rotate a kaleidoscope, the colored glass pieces change randomly, altering the image.

It should be remembered that a character can exist as a thing.

<h3>What exactly is the function of a kaleidoscope?</h3>

A kaleidoscope is an optical toy that uses two mirrors at an angle to generate stunning pictures when the instrument's tube is spun. A kaleidoscope's patterns are employed in fashion design.

<h3>What inspired the invention of the kaleidoscope?</h3>

Sir David Brewster was a physical scientist who explored light characteristics and polarization optics.

He saw patterns and colors replicated and reformed into wonderful new configurations as he peered into the ends of two mirrors.
