A Three-Point Turn

Chapter 1

"You know, hardly anyone ever needs to do a three-point turn anymore," said Justin, trying to help Becky calm down.

"Oh, so it's not a useful skill AND I am probably going to fail the driving test because I can't do it anyway," Becky said, raising her voice for emphasis. "That should make me feel like a million bucks when I flunk."

Justin was riding with Becky so she could take her driving test. He had volunteered for the job because he thought she would be less nervous with him than with their mom, but so far, he wasn't sure he was making any difference.

"Slow down, your turn is coming up here," he said, looking ahead.

"I know, I know," she replied, "I've been here before remember—the last time I flunked."

Justin was pretty sure if he had let her miss the turn, things would only have deteriorated further, but he wasn't sure he was fond of being the scapegoat for Becky's anxiety.

"Listen, you need to take a few deep breaths," he said, hoping he could help her at least relax a bit. "Being nervous won't help you with the three-point turn or anything else you have to do. Hey, did you just take that turn without your turn signal on?" This was going to be harder than he thought.

"Stop yelling at me," Becky replied, clearly frustrated, "I can't concentrate."

"Look, you need to stop and get yourself together here," Justin started. "It is not just about passing the driving test. I don't want to get in an accident, so pull into that parking lot."

Becky drove into the office building's parking lot where Justin was pointing. Justin knew they were less than a mile from the licensing office, and if she continued in this condition, he'd be having this same discussion three months from now when she tried the test again for the third time.

"You need to get a grip," he started after she put the car in park, "because you have studied and practiced driving all year. You know this stuff inside and out, backwards and forwards. What are you so nervous about?"

"I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing."

Listening quietly as Becky sobbed, Justin realized this was about much more than a driving test. He also knew if he didn't find a way to help Becky things would just get worse.

Chapter 2

Justin took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. Becky was an unbelievably consistent straight-A student. It was Justin who got the bad grades in school, and Justin who had to repeat every math class he'd ever taken. It was Justin who wished he could get the grades Becky got. Some things came easier for Justin: He was athletic, handy with tools, and good at making the best of whatever life threw at him. Mom called him her "lemons into lemonade" kid. But for the most part, Becky succeeded easily, whereas Justin had to work and work to just get a passing grade.

Rather than having Becky catalogue all the things she supposedly "failed" at, Justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed.

"Okay, Becky, let's assume for a moment you fail this test again. What is the worst thing that could happen?" he asked.

"I would be the oldest kid at school without a license and be humiliated," she replied. Justin thought he heard a bit of panic in her voice but continued with his plan.

"Yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway?" he asked.

"Yes, but..." she started.

"And who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? You know Mom can't afford another car just for you, right?"

"Yes," she said quietly.

"So what difference does it make, really," he said. "Another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right?"

"I suppose not," she said.

Justin could tell she was breathing more slowly now. "Besides," he said, "I would miss all the practice driving with you," and for good measure he reached over and pinched her arm.

"Ow," she said, hitting back at him, "that hurt."

"So let's go do this, okay?

"Okay," she said. Becky cranked up the car, backed slowly out of the parking spot and drove up to the parking lot's exit. Justin noticed, as they waited for the traffic to clear, that she had remembered the turn signal.

Which is true of both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2?

Answers

My radio has not been repaired.

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.

The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.

The correct answer is D)My radio has not been repaired.

Option D is correct as the given sentence is in active voice and to transform it into passive voice the subject of the given sentence

3. Housekeeper - Cleans room while guests are out. They change sheets towels and soaps.


Hope it helps

Answer:

Some jobs in the hotel industry (also called the hospitality industry) are:

- Event planners (Event managers, wedding planners, etc)

- Food Operations (Cooks, Executive chefs, Beverage managers, etc)

- Front of the House (Front Desk Operators, Concierge, Bellhops, etc)

Explanation:

- EVENT PLANNERS

In addition to their normal services, hotels often have many rooms that they rent out for events, such as weddings or meetings. An event planner works with a company, or an individual, to arrange the event and then ensures it runs smoothly. They make about $50,000 per year.

- FOOD OPERATIONS: EXECUTIVE CHEF

An executive chef manages the behind-the-scenes details of all the cooking and food in the hotel, and is considered a managerial role. People in this role supervise cooks, sous chefs, and other kitchen employees. They typically order all of the food, plan the meals, and prepare food in the kitchen. Although it isn't technically required, almost all who hold this position have gone to college or culinary school. They make about $61,000 a year.

- FRONT OF THE HOUSE: CONCIERGE

A concierge interacts directly with customers, providing them with various services. They may respond to requests (for instance, "Can you book me a restaurant reservation?") or anticipate what customers might need. Depending on the hotel, this can be considered an entry level job, or a job that requires years of experience. A concierge needs to be a problem solver with extensive customer-service skills who is unflappable and can handle difficult patrons.  They make about $30,000 a year.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is If we find that we should've shipped your order sooner, you'll be eligible for

a full refund.

Explanation:

Hope this helps you. Have a nice day^_^

The sentence that contains a grammatical or spelling error is "When they finished eating, all of the boy's faces were covered in tomato sauce."

What is the error in the sentence?

While the first sentence has no grammatical or spelling error, the second sentence contains a spelling error when it comes to the word "boy's." The issue here is that one "s" is missing.

According to the context, that word should be plural since "faces" is also plural. We are talking of multiple boys and their faces. Thus, the word should actually be spelled "boys'" with the apostrophe after the "s" that indicates plural.

Therefore, the sentence would look like this after being corrected: "When they finished eating, all of the boys' faces were covered in tomato sauce."
