Fill in the blanks with an appropriate form of a verb for the paragraph below: Astronauts on the International Space Station ___
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Astronauts on the International Space Station <u><em>have </em></u>a busy schedule. Every day they <u><em>wake up</em></u> at 7:00 GMT. From 7:00 to 8:00, they wash up and <u><em>eat </em></u>breakfast.  At 8:00 in the morning, they <u><em>call </em></u>Ground Control in their countries. After they talk to Ground Control, their workday begins.  The astronauts <u><em>don't do</em></u> the same thing every day. Their schedules change every week. The astronauts do not work all the time.  Each day they <u><em>exercise </em></u>for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. After dinner, they <em>have </em>free time.  Then, it <u><em>is </em></u>time to go to sleep. Sometimes this <u><em>isn't </em></u>easy because the sun rises and sets 16 times each day on the space station!

Explanation:

All the verbs in the text are written in the Present Simple tense, since the paragraph refers to actions that are either facts or happen regularly at the International Space Station. Thus, the astronauts at the station have a program of daily routine actitivies.

Read the sentence.
Sati [7]

Answer:

She met her friends in the lobby of the hotel, and they headed over to the pool for a cool, refreshing swim.

Explanation:

The correct option is the first one. This revision is the most concise, free of redundancy. This means that everything necessary is said with no unnecessary words. When we say that someone is in the lobby of a hotel, we already know that they are on the bottom floor. There is no need to include both <em>lobby </em>and <em>bottom floor </em>in the same sentence. The first sentence is the only one that contains only one of these phrases/words.

Another issue with the original sentence is the incorrect use of commas, and another reason the third option is incorrect is awkward word order.

Finger [1]

Answer:

Introductions and conclusions are important components of any essay. They work to book-end the argument made in the body paragraphs by first explaining what points will be made (in the introduction) and then summarizing what points were made (in the conclusion).

Explanation:

The Five-Paragraph

Essay

#

Select from the following

A classic format for compositions is the five-paragraph essay. It is not the only format for writing an essay, of course, but it is a useful model for you to keep in mind, especially as you begin to develop your composition skills. The following material is adapted from a handout prepared by Harry Livermore for his high school English classes at Cook High School in Adel, Georgia. It is used here with his permission.

Introduction:

Introductory Paragraph

See, first, Writing Introductory Paragraphs for different ways of getting your reader involved in your essay. The introductory paragraph should also include the thesis statement, a kind of mini-outline for the paper: it tells the reader what the essay is about. The last sentence of this paragraph must also contain a transitional "hook" which moves the reader to the first paragraph of the body of the paper.

Body:

Body — First paragraph:

The first paragraph of the body should contain the strongest argument, most significant example, cleverest illustration, or an obvious beginning point. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the "reverse hook" which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the introductory paragraph. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional hook to tie into the second paragraph of the body.

Body — Second paragraph:

The second paragraph of the body should contain the second strongest argument, second most significant example, second cleverest illustration, or an obvious follow up the first paragraph in the body. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the reverse hook which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the first paragraph of the body. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional hook to tie into the third paragraph of the body.

Body — Third paragraph:

The third paragraph of the body should contain the weakest argument, weakest example, weakest illustration, or an obvious follow up to the second paragraph in the body. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the reverse hook which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the second paragraph. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional concluding hook that signals the reader that this is the final major point being made in this paper. This hook also leads into the last, or concluding, paragraph.

Conclusion:

Concluding paragraph:

#This paragraph should include the following:

an allusion to the pattern used in the introductory paragraph,

a restatement of the thesis statement, using some of the original language or language that "echoes" the original language. (The restatement, however, must not be a duplicate thesis statement.)

a summary of the three main points from the body of the paper.

a final statement that gives the reader signals that the discussion has come to an end. (This final statement may be a "call to action" in an persuasive paper.)
