Which of the following is true about the author's syntax in this passage?
a. It emphasizes a minor fear.
b. It introduces a specific person.
c. It sets a formal tone.
d. It suggests a coming storm.
Answer:
c. It sets a formal tone.
Explanation:
Syntax presents the rules of the language and the way it is formed in the sentences and speech. It is the way words are put in the sentences and correct forms of using them in order to understand the message fully.
Here, the way language is used puts the atmosphere of the setting. It sets the tone of mystery, creepiness, darkness, and explains the mood of the character and the place they are visiting. The words are mostly adjectives to explain the setting and they are put together in the sentences that paint the picture of the place which sets the tone of the story.
Answer:
The correct answer is "c. It sets a formal tone."
Explanation:
I just completed the test and got 100% by choosing that one. I hope this helps!

What is the grammatical function of the gerund phrase? In the 1930s, Penguin Books started publishing inexpensive paperback books and, in the process, discovered a thriving new market of voracious readers seeking cheap, well-bound books.

The term 'gerund' refers to the 'ing' form of the verb and it functions as a noun. It represents both the meaning of the verb as well as a noun in the sentence. A gerund can replace a noun in the sentence and give its meaning.

How does Steve's attempt to reason with his neighbors affect other elements of the story?
Please help!
Story: The monsters are due on maple street
Answer:
It seems the people are getting more upset with Steve and turning on him and others.
Explanation:
I tried to read the excerpt from the story and it seemed as if the neighbors were getting more upset with Steve. They talked about how even his wife was talking bad about him. In quote, "Myra's talked about how there's been plenty of nights you spent hours down in your basement workin' on some kind of radio or something. Well, none of us have ever seen that radio—" This seems as if they are becoming more nervous and trusting Steve less. hopefully this helped you at least a little and I actually found the right book you were talking about. If it doesn't, please let me know and I'll try again.
What is the best way for the author to combine sentences 1 and 2? A. Roller derby is a high contact extreme sport that began in the United States during the 1920s, and this sport takes place on a long oval track. B. Roller derby is a high contact extreme sport that began in the United States during the 1920s; while this sport takes place on a long oval track. C. Roller derby is a high contact extreme sport that began in the United States during the 1920s, this sport takes place on a long oval track. D. Roller derby is a high contact extreme sport that began in the United States during the 1920s and this sport takes place on a long oval track.
I've looked this question up, and this is the excerpt it refers to:
(1) Roller derby is a high contact extreme sport that began in the United States during the 1920s. (2) This sport takes place on a long oval track. (3) Participants earn points by skating past, or "lapping," members of the other team. (4) Roller derby is primarily played by women, and most skaters are amateurs who raise their own support in order to participate. (5) Many skaters wear fun costumes and adopt fake names to express their personalities. (6) Because many injuries can occur at roller derbies, emergency medical personnel are required to stay rinkside, and skaters must wear protective gear at all times.
Answer:
The best way to combine sentences 1 and 2 is:
A. Roller derby is a high contact extreme sport that began in the United States during the 1920s, and this sport takes place on a long oval track.
Explanation:
Option B uses the conjunction "while" unnecessarily. When we read the sentence, we feel there should be more information afterward, because of the presence of "while". We can eliminate option B for that reason.
Options C and D are also incorrect. They are both run-on sentences. Option C does not use any conjunctions to connect the two independent clauses. Option D does use a conjunction, but no punctuation.
Option A is the best choice. It uses a coordinating conjunction to connect the independent clauses, as well as proper punctuation:
A. Roller derby is a high contact extreme sport that began in the United States during the 1920s, and this sport takes place on a long oval track.

In his Stanford University Commencement Speech, Steve Jobs said, "Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. ...Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition." Do you personally agree or disagree with this statement? Why? How do you think Jobs exemplified this in his daily life? You may choose to review the excerpt from Steve Jobs: The Many Who Thought Different in order to find supporting details. Your response should be about 150 words.
Answer:
"Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice" implementation
Explanation:
I personally agree this statement of Steve Jobs " Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition"
I agree, because a person can be happy by following only what his / her own heart & mind say, not the footprints of others. Diluting self personality because of world's perceptions is derogatory for personal, professional growth.
Jobs exemplifies this in his daily life by practicing what he preached. He left university for starting apple. He later also took many brave decisions, stated that 'I want to put a dent in universe'. He innovated & became a leader. So, he followed his inner voice, irrespective of people's opinion regarding the same.
