Read the excerpt from an article. Lewis Township officials have been publicly—and loudly—quarreling for what seems like forever
over what to do with the 20-acre lot of land on the north side of Main Street. It seems to me that the decision is easy. A big-box retailer will bring Lewis hundreds of jobs—jobs desperately needed here. What is the writer's primary purpose for writing this article? to persuade the audience to pursue new jobs to persuade the audience to share the writer's point of view to inform the audience about a community issue to inform the audience about a possible opportunity
to persuade the audience to share the writer's point of view
Explanation:
The writer's goal is to persuade the reader to agree and adopt the point of view he is presenting in the text. We can see this when he reinforces the idea of the importance of deciding what will be done with the available 20 acres of space and how it is even more important that this space be used for the good of the population, for the generation of jobs and the strengthening of the city, even if this decision is not easy to make. In other words, he reinforces that this unoccupied space must not remain empty, but rather be used to bring about improvements in the population. This point of view is publicized to attract supporters who agree with what the author thinks.
Unquote her words. Then, put the verb in the quote to the back and put it in the appropriate tense. In this case, "said" shows that it is in the past, so "is" is changed to was.
"Is the backpack in the hall her's" is the correct way to complete the sentence, since we are dealing with a possessive singular noun, which requires the apostrophe to go inside the "s".
