Read the excerpt from a short story. The young docent welcomed the class to the museum, explaining that the east wing was under construction and he’d be leading them to the first exhibit. His fingers leapt to his name tag as he nervously introduced himself as "Liam, a student of the arts." Then he bade the group follow him. They traversed a vaulted hall lined with hulking objects, each one obscured by a faded tarpaulin. Some of the items stretched across the floor, others cast long shadows on the museum walls. What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?
This question is missing the answer choices. I have found them online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?
A. word choice
B. quickening the pace of the story
C. intentionally omitting setting details
D. making the outcome of events uncertain
Answer:
The technique the author uses to build suspense is:
C. intentionally omitting setting details
Explanation:
The setting of a story is the place where and the time when the story happens. When an author wishes to make the setting clear, he will give out details and descriptions to help readers visualize it.
However, that is not what happens in the excerpt we are analyzing here. The author intentionally leaves out details to build suspense. He does not offer a description of the museum and, most importantly, of the objects inside the museum. What are the "hulking objects" he mentions? Mummies? Old statues? What do they look like? We do not know. All we know is that they cast long shadows and stretch across the floor. By describing them so poorly, the author creates suspense, leaving readers wondering about these objects and their role in the story.

Read the rough draft of a student’s conclusion to an argumentative editorial.
(1) Year-round schooling would help student achievement. (2) Not so much information would have to be crammed into nine months. (3) Furthermore, the elimination of long breaks, particularly summer break, would significantly reduce "learning loss” and the additional time wasted at the beginning of each academic year to reteach previously learned material. (4) It is clear that year-round schooling helps students learn and retain more. (5) The United States is not the only country to experiment with a year-round school schedule. (6) Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to open their eyes and see that students in these schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. (7) It is about time that we replaced our outdated and inefficient school calendars.

Which detail best develops Pasha's character in the passage?
Beginner's Class
"Hey, Pasha," called Séamus as he crossed the parking lot. "What are you doing this afternoon? I was thinking about catching a movie, if you're
interested."
"Thanks, but I've got big plans today," Pasha replied with a huge smile. "Today is the day."
"Huh? Today is what day?" asked Séamus with a confused look.
"THE day, silly," answered Pasha. "I finally saved enough money to enroll in the beginner's class at the Motorcycle Safety Association. I'm headed
there now, as a matter of fact." Séamus stared at his friend in disbelief.
"Wait a minute," he said as he stopped in his tracks. "You actually enrolled in the motorcycle riding class? I never thought you'd do it. I thought it
was just another project you act excited about and then drop in two weeks."
"Don't be silly," replied Pasha. "This isn't like the time I wanted to volunteer as a clown for the children's center or start my own dog walking
business. I'm serious about learning to ride motorcycles. Once I get my first bike, I'll travel all over the world just like my hero, Lois Pryce."
"Isn't she the woman who rode her motorcycle from Alaska to South America?" Séamus asked as they continued walking toward the dark grey
MSA building
"Yes, that's her," said Pasha. "I got to meet her last year when she gave a speech at the History of the Americas museum. She talked about
following your dreams, and that's exactly what I intend to do."
A loud roaring sound filled the air as Pasha and Séamus entered the Motorcycle Safety Association. They stood in the lobby and looked out at an
indoor gym filled with people of all ages on motorcycles. Pasha felt a brief rush of insecurity as she watched the riders maneuver their way through
an obstacle course of traffic cones and speed bumps.

Which of these sentences uses the conditional mood?
A) Coach Williams demands that the football players' parents be called to pick up their kids because the game was cancelled.
B) Coach Ella sighed that if she hadn't been injured badly in college, she would be playing professional basketball.
C) If Coach Jones reschedules Saturday's practice, the players will be happy to practice extra for the upcoming tournament.
D) Coach Brown insists that the football team kick the ball for 40 minutes before the end of daily practice.
Answer:
C) If Coach Jones reschedules Saturday's practice, the players will be happy to practice extra for the upcoming tournament.
Explanation:
this means that the players wont be happy to practice except the Coach reschedules to the Saturday's practice (this is the condition that would dictate the players mood)
Coach Ella sighed that if she hadn't been injured badly in college, she would be playing professional basketball.
What is conditional mood?The conditional mood is a grammatical mood used to express hypothetical or non-real actions, events, or situations, which may or may not happen in the future, depending on certain conditions or circumstances.
It is often used to speculate or make suggestions, express wishes or desires, or describe events that are dependent on other factors.
In English, the conditional mood is formed using the auxiliary verb "would" plus the base form of the main verb, or by using the modal auxiliary verb "should" in certain contexts. For example:
If I had more time, I would study more.
If I were you, I would take a break.
Should you need any help, please let me know.
There are two main types of conditional mood: the present conditional, which expresses hypothetical events in the present or future, and the past conditional, which expresses hypothetical events in the past.
Both types can be used in the "if-then" construction to express a hypothetical situation and its potential outcome.

Modal verbs to express certainty and
possibility
1,Deborah is looking a bit tired. Perhaps she’s working
too hard.
2.He never goes on holiday. I don’t suppose he earns
much.
I looked this question up and, in one of the sites where I found it, each number had two answer choices. Just in case, I will use them here.
1.
A. She may / might / could be working too hard.
B. She must be working too hard.
2.
A. He must not earn very much.
B. He may not / might not earn very much.
Answer:
The answers are:
1. A. She may / might / could be working too hard.
2. B. He may not / might not earn very much.
Explanation:
The modal verbs "may", "might" and "could" are used to express possibility. Therefore, they do not convey much certainty, that is, the speaker is not 100% sure of what he / she is saying, but he / she knows there is a possibility of being right.
That is why those verbs are the best ones to complete the sentences above. In both cases, the speaker is supposing, assuming something. In the first sentence, the speaker believes it is possible that Deborah is tired because she is working too hard. In the second one, the speaker assumes "he" is likely to not earn much because he never goes on holiday.
Note: "Could" is also used to express ability in some cases.
Hello!!!!! Read the following excerpt from a speech by a national leader:
Today, our nation was attacked by another nation in an
aggressive and unprovoked manner. We cannot stand idly
by and allow this country to steal our resources, enslave
our people, and cause great harm and violence.
Which addition to the speech best uses pathos to appeal to the audience?
A. We are allowed under international law to defend ourselves, and
we will not hesitate to do so with swift and decisive action.
B. The blood stained many innocent faces, and citizens wept as they
saw the destruction,
C. Imagine a world where our sons and daughters can live freely,
without fear of poverty and starvation.
D. Because we participate in the alliance system, our allies will come
to our defense, and our invaders will soon regret their aggression
Answer:
C
Explanation:
C evokes the feeling of sadness, of pity that everyone will start to relate to the issue and think. What will become of the nation for out children? From here the speaker then can appeal to the audience by making them think of the future, and pity the people of the future, (specifically their children).
We can actually deduce here that the speech that best uses pathos to appeal to the audience is: C. Imagine a world where our sons and daughters can live freely, without fear of poverty and starvation.
What is pathos?Pathos is actually known to be a rhetorical appeal that is used to by writers to appeal to the emotions of the audience. It is used to evoke their emotions on a particular issue.
We see here that option C uses pathos as it will stir up the emotions of the audience and lead to take action.

Ways to avoid cyber bullying
Answer:
1. Don’t post anything online you want to keep private, 2. Make use of privacy settings on social media. 3. Protect your passwords, 4. Ignore the bully if possible. 5. Resist the urge to fire back, 6. Block whoever is harassing you, 7. Get the help of someone.
Spread positivity!
Explanation:
1. Simply. You already know.
2. Making your accounts private will limit outsiders from accessing your information, but won’t keep it totally secure.
3. Don’t write passwords down, store them in your phone, or share them with anyone else.
Choose passwords that are difficult to guess.
4. Ignore the bully only if it's a first-time, mild comment or action online.
If the bully’s actions are repeated or severe, respond.
5. If someone says something cruel online, it's tempting to say something mean about them. Trying to get even rarely works with a cyber bully, however. “Trolls” feed on people getting upset at their harassing comments and posts online. Don’t give them that satisfaction.
6. If you've had problems with someone, even if you don't consider it full-fledged bullying, you could just cut off all online contact with them. Social media platforms, email services, phone service providers, and other outlets all provide ways to block particular users.
7. Whether you've been the target of bullying, feel you're at risk for being bullied, or just want to stop the problem in general, let someone else know what's going on. If you’re underage, talk to an adult, like a parent or school counselor. Otherwise, talk to a friend or mentor for support.

Many things must be done before a shuttle can launch. The shuttle has many parts. They are made in different places in the United States. The finished parts are sent to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The pieces of the shuttle go to the Vehicle Assembly Building. NASA workers connect all the parts. NASA calls it "stacking."
After all of the parts are put together, the whole vehicle is called the Space Transportation System. Now, it's time to move to the launch pad.
The Space Transportation System rides on a crawler. The top of the crawler is as big as a baseball diamond. The crawler has tracks of wheels like a tank. It is very, very slow. It moves about one mile per hour on a road called the crawlerway.
When the shuttle gets to the launch pad, NASA has more work to do before countdown. The shuttle may sit on the launch pad for weeks. This is the countdown clock. It tracks the amount of time until launch.
The astronauts get into the orbiter about 3 hours before launch. Finally, everyone waits for the words, "3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . Liftoff!"
