Answer:

The advantage of sports writing is that you are allowed a little it more leeway in your choice of words. In crime or business writing, you are restricted in your use of adjectives and adverbs and are encouraged to focus more on nouns and verbs. Sports writing, however, allows you to go to town in describing plays, the atmosphere, fans and other colorful aspects of a sporting event. Ideally, any sports story would have quotes from the winners and losers. Indeed, many sports articles are written around what athletes say rather than what they have achieved on the field of play. The most important news aspect of a sports game is the score. Who won? How did they win and what effect did the victory have? Also important is whether we are writing from a Boston perspective or Cleveland as a example. In this case, we will go with Cleveland. “Cleveland Cavaliers lost 98-96 to the Boston Celtics after Delonte West’s sank two free throws in the final seconds, dropping three and a half games behind the Pistons for the best record in the Eastern Conference. "Next, This is where you can provide a quote from the coach or a key player. Once you got the main information and key quotes out of the way, you can go on to describe the game. Even better would be to describe just one or two plays and include more quotes.

I don't think this will help but, good luck on the report. :) Hope you do well.

If you can, try searching how it began and why it did.
Try looking up words that can help describe what you’re mentioning.
Find reasons to why the Olympics is so important.
Maybe write how it can inspire people also.

In order to make his story humorous, Washington Irving uses __________ when describing traits like Rip Van Winkle's laziness and
brilliants [131]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Exaggeration is a literary device that is used to state something in an over-emphasizing manner to explain it as either a better or worse. Or in simple words, we can conclude that this literary device is used by a writer to spice up the story. An embellishment, on the other hand, is a device used to ornament something.

Washington Irving in his short story "Rip Van Winkle," has used the literary device of imagery, humour, and satire. Washington has made the story humorous by using the device's exaggeration and embellishment.

<u>Some examples of exaggeration and embellishments are</u>:

  • Rip Van Winkle's Laziness

<em>"Rip Van Winkle, however, was one of those happy mortals, of foolish, well-oiled dispositions, who take the world easy, eat white bread or brown, whichever can be got with least thought or trouble, and would rather starve on a penny than work for a pound."</em>

  • Dame Van Winkle's nagging her husband

<em>"A termagant wife may, therefore, in some respects, be considered a tolerable blessing; and if so, Rip Van Winkle was thrice blessed."</em>

So, the correct answer is option third.
