My turn approached, so I gathered up my nerves and headed to the stage. As the crowd stilled, I adjusted the plano bench along w

ith my formal evening gown that tralled out behind me just like a wedding dress. The first chord rang through the auditorium, and my nervousness was forgotten. Every note sang melodic perfection. Finally, I finished. Forgetting about my long dress, I pushed the piano bench out excitedly, which created a tangled mess of dress and piano bench legs. Suddenly, I was lying on the stage with my feet straight in the air. Quickly, I jumped up and took a bow while the crowd applauded wildly. Walking offstage, I couldn't stop smiling, knowing it was a night I would never forget. Which statement best describes the theme or author's purpose of this text? A. The author's purpose is to persuade people that they don't have to be nervous in front of a crowd B. The theme of the text is that learning not to be embarrassed by your silly mistakes makes life more fun. C. The theme of the text is that performing well is about more than just playing the right notes, D. The author's purpose is to inform readers about courteous behavior when attending a formal music recital​

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Because she fell and was able to just laugh it off

A is wrong because it doesn't talk much about how to overcome being nervous, C is wrong because if preforming well was more than playing the right notes she would have felt embarassed about falling, and D is wrong because she fell and just jumped up and bowed not feeling embarassed at all and the text isn't organized in a way to teach you certain behaviours

Answer:

3 and 4

Explanation:

A slant rhyme is a half-rhyme, where the words kind of rhyme, but not really. "Dark" and "work" sort of rhyme, but not fully. In a slant rhyme, the vowels don't rhyme.

Please help me and answer all the following
Mazyrski [523]

 Questions. I feel that questions are a big part of advertising. They capture the watchers attention by asking certain questions. It is almost like writing the first paragraph of an essay, you may ask a question to intrigue your readers and make them want to read what you have to say. Commercials can often ask questions about how you feel or what fun things you like to do.

-          Music. Music is another was to capture your viewers’ attention. I have been noticing that in the beginning of commercials they have been inserting popular songs such as Home by Phillip Phillips. By having such popular songs in commercials it catches the viewers’ attention because they may enjoy that song and continue watching the commercial.

-          Words. Advertisers have a way of using words to their benefit. They like to manipulate words to make the product look or sound better than it actually may be. They can also make certain words bigger than others. What I mean by this is when advertisers are explaining how much something costs they may emphasize certain words like “FREE PURSE” to capture your attention. In small letters underneath “FREE PURSE” they may put “with a purchase of $50.”

-          Celebrities. Celebrities are a great way to get the attention of commercial viewers. Products like Proactiv have already tried putting celebrities in their commercials. If someone see’s their favorite celebrity in a commercial, chances are, they will continue watching. People who may have not tried Proactiv yet may want to experiment with it if they see that their favorite singer, Katy Perry, is using it.

-          People. A lot of times advertisers will put cute guys or girls in commercials to intrigue their viewers. This happens in many commercials. Abercrombie & Fitch and Victoria’s Secret are great examples.
