Answer:

This shows how the idea of turning ten does not please the author. It also said in the fourth paragraph first line, “This is the beginning of sadness…” this shows that the author must be going through something for him to be so melancholic at such a young age.

What is the most important reason why scientists are looking for planets to Earth
Nataly [62]
Scientists are searching for planets that are similar to Earth because when resources are used up, we can resort to another planet. Whether it be to travel to live at a different planet or to collect resources from there, either option would be nice for a last resort.

One major choice an author of fiction makes is to decide the _________________ from which the story is told.
valina [46]

Answer: B (point of view)

Explanation:

Let's go through all the answer options.

A) time of day

The time of day isn't exactly the most important detail, since the story usually takes place over different days, months, or years. The exact time isn't the key point in the story.

B) point of view

This is a pretty important topic, since it influences "how the story is told", which is part of the question.

C) first name of character

While this is nice info to have, it does not affect the way a story is told. It is just a minor convenient detail.

D) camera angle

This one doesn't apply at all since it's a book, not a movie. There are no cameras involved.

Therefore, the best answer is B!

Hope this helps! :)

Choose the sentence in which the word play is used as a linking verb.
monitta

Answer: D)

Explanation: A linking verb connects the subject with a word that gives information about the subject, such as a condition or relationship. They do not show any action; they simply link the subject with the rest of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "They are a problem," the word "are" is the linking verb that connects "they" and "problem" to show the relationship between the two words.
