Read the excerpt from "Code Talkers.” The use of Navajo code was so successful that its existence was kept secret until 1968 so

that the Marines could continue to use it, if necessary. Two decades later, many of the code talkers were recognized for their service. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan declared August 14 Navajo Code Talkers Day, and in 2000 President Bill Clinton awarded the Congressional Medal to the first twenty-nine code talkers. In the years since, code talkers from the Navajo and thirty-two other American Indian tribes have been awarded the medal.
The author’s purpose in this paragraph was to
a.) entertain readers with a story about how code talkers received medals for their service during wartime.
b.) inform readers that the code talkers were recognized by the US government for their critical work during wartime.
c.) educate readers about the history of US presidents and holidays created to honor groups like the code talkers.
d.) persuade readers that they should learn to create code so they can be recognized by the US government.

I believe the answer would be B, to inform readers that the code talkers were recognised by the US government for their critical work during wartime. This sentence in no way wants to entertain readers with a story about code talkers since the paragraph gives off more information than the purpose to entertain. This paragraph explains the code talkers' place in the war and gives info that the code talkers were recognised for their work and were rewarded by the multiple persons of the US government (the presidents). This paragraph doesn't focus on the history of US presidents, and it doesn't want to persuade the reader to create code, that would be a persuasive paragraph. Not an informational paragraph.

Choose the correct direct speech. Jane told me that she had waited for her friend
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: c. Jane said to me, “ I waited for my friend.”

Explanation:

Direct speech is meant to report the things said by a person in the exact way that they said it.

One reason option A is wrong is that Jane said she had waited for the friend which made it past tense but in option A she was using a future continuous tense.

One reason option B is wrong is that it made it seem as though Jane was waiting for the speaker's friend not her own. For this same reason option D is wrong as well.

Option C is correct because it properly converts the indirect speech used by the speaker to direct speech.
