Select the correct answer. What is the theme of the passage? Mason was walking through the mall, wondering what he should buy fo

r his mother. Today was her birthday. Mason had struggled all week trying to find the perfect gift, but nothing seemed right. He first thought about getting her a dress, only to realize that he had no idea what size she wore. Then he thought he’d get her a book, since his mother loved to read. But the book shop was large, and Mason couldn’t be sure which books she had already read. He thought to himself, “I don't know what Mom likes. I want to get her something that will make her happy.” That’s when he saw Little Potter’s Florist and Gardening Shop. His mother loved gardening! Mason ran over to the store. The owner of the store, Angela, was surprised to see Mason. Mason told her he was there to get a gift for his mother. Angela wrapped up five packets of seeds, five planters, and a new weeding fork. She also put together a fresh bouquet of roses for Mason to give to his mother. When the time came to present his gift to his mother, Mason grew anxious. He didn’t know whether or not she would like the gardening supplies. He wondered if he should have bought a dress like he had initially planned. Of course, it was too late to make a change, so he went to the kitchen where his mom was busy preparing a chicken dinner. Mason sneaked behind her and placed the gift on the table. He held out the bouquet and shouted, "Happy Birthday, Mama!" His mother was startled, but she accepted the bouquet with a smile. As she began to open the package, Mason could feel nervousness creeping up on him again. His mom remained silent as she removed the contents of the package. She then turned and hugged Mason with tears in her eyes. Mason knew his mother loved the gifts. She always cried when she was really happy.

Question 2 (1 point)
Nezavi [6.7K]

Question 2

Answer: Across the bay, fleets of old fishing boats was seen on the horizon.

Explanation: The subject <em>fleets</em> (plural noun) <em>of old fishing boats </em>mismatches the verb <em>was seen </em>(only for I/he/she/it)

Question 5

Answer: John cried.

Explanation: This sentence is the only one with a subject and a predicate. "Because he wasn't hungry" is a reason clause that must depend on another sentence. "Rebekah drove a race car she won three races" is not a valid sentence unless you place a semicolon after the word "car" to separate the two predicates in it (or a period to make two separate sentences).

Question 10

Answer: I studied

Explanation: The subject "I" is not properly divided from the verb (studied), complement (for the test) and the independent clause joined by the word "but" (but I still didn't pass it).

Reread these sentences from paragraph 3 wich tone do the underlined word choices give to the text.
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

This lesson deals primarily with diction and tone and how to recognize them in your reading. Diction and tone are stylistic devices a writer uses to help a reader or listener “hear” what the writer is trying to say. Tone describes the author’s attitude toward the material, the audience, or both. According to Cliff’s Advanced Placement English Language and Composition Examination Preparation Guide, tone is similar to mood and is easier to determine in spoken language than in written language. Some words used to describe tone are playful, serious, businesslike, sarcastic, humorous, formal, ornate, and somber.

Tone is largely determined by diction or the word choices a writer makes. The process of choosing the right word involves denotation and connotation, which we will also discuss in this lesson.

Sometimes the tone is very clear, for example, when someone is obviously angry or distressed. To indicate these emotions, the writer might include words like “screaming” or “sobbing” and use exclamation points. Sometimes the tone is more subtle, though, and requires you to read closely in order to fully understand what is happening.
