The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Describe a situation (real or fictional) where not having a focused message in your writing could lead to a problem or poor outcome.
A situation like this can be so real that indeed just happened to me the other day. I was writing something but my mind was in other parts, so I was not focused on the task at hand. In the beginning, I had the idea and how to develop it. But then it came some distractions and my mind started to wander. I finish muy writing but the other mistake was that I did not double-check it. The result: a very bad work that made no sense at all.
So hope this does not happen to you. Please, use the writing process to ensure your writing is focused and effective. The first step is the prewriting phase, then the drafting, followed by the revising, and finally, the editing.
Follow these steps and you will have good writing.
Which words in this excerpt from Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" indicate that it is a work of gothic literature? It [the tree] was connected with the tragical story of the unfortunate André, who had been taken prisoner hard by; and was universally known by the name of Major André's tree. The common people regarded it with a mixture of respect and superstition, partly out of sympathy for the fate of its ill-starred namesake, and partly from the tales of strange sights and doleful lamentations told concerning it.

Read the passage from “The Beginnings of the Maasai.”
Our relationship with Enkai is essential to the tribe. Enkai is neither male nor female. The sky god is powerful, but can change from nurturing to vengeful depending on our behavior. Sometimes Enkai is Enkai Narok, the Black God, happy with us and blanketing the sky with dark clouds that pour out rain to nourish the plains. When angry, though, Enkai becomes Enkai Nonyokie—the Red God. In these times, the sun grows incredibly hot until the earth dries up and becomes barren. Because of this, we work to keep Enkai happy.
Which information from this passage about Enkai is most important to include in a summary of the overall story?
Answer:
The relationship between Enkai and the tribes are very important.
Explanation:
Based on the passage above, it is narrated that the relationship between Enkai and the tribe is very essential to the tribe.
The natives believe Enkai is neither male nor female and is very powerful because Enkai can make the people of the tribe prosperous or suffer if they annoy it.
When Enkai is happy with the tribe, he sends rain and their plants are nourished. When it is angry with them, it makes the sun very hot and plants to die.

What is the most likely reason fast food companies want to advertise and sell their prouducts in schools
Answer:
Explanation:
From my opinion, fast food companies want to advertise their food to children in school is to encourage the young people to eat fast food. if they do like the food the children will be brain washed into thinking fast food is good and will have them go to fast food constantly. They like this cycle because they can easily get more money and preying on little kids is an advantage because they don't know any better. this is why i think fast food companies want to advertise and sell their products in schools.

Explanation:
In the story "A Retrieved Reformation," Detective Ben Price follows Jimmy Valentine to Elmore, Arkansas. At the end of the story, what can you infer about Jimmy Valentine’s thinking? What does he believe price aims to do at the bank? In about 50 words, explain what you can infer and support your answer with examples from your text.
Answer:
At the end of the story, Jimmy Valentine seemed to finally have a change of heart after opening a safe which was believed to be unbreakable with his "special tools" of his trade, to save a young girl stuck in the bank safe.
He believed that the policeman Price was there to take him in custody and finally be imprisoned with definite proof or evidence.
Explanation:
O. Henry's short story "A Retrieved Reformation" revolves around the story of a notorious thief Jimmy Valentine who had a change of heart after saving a young child from a locked bank safe. The end of the story shows Valentine giving up his fake identity and agreeing to go with policeman Ben Price to the station, indicating he's ready to be kept a prisoner.
He believes that Price was there to catch him red-handed as he had never been caught red-handed before in all his crimes. When he was set free from the prison, he blatantly stated that "I never broke open a safe in my life". Now that Price was there to see everything that had happened, even though he didn't rob the bank but rather saved a little girl's life, he believed that the policeman was there to arrest him now that he's seen him break open a safe with his own eyes.
He shows his resignation when he saw Ben Price, simply greeting the man with "his strange smile" and admitted "You’re here at last, are you? Let’s go. I don’t care, now."
Answer:
Detective Price arrested Jimmy in the past. Jimmy sees Price outside the bank after he opens the safe to save Annabel’s niece. Jimmy believes Price is there to arrest him for the recent bank robberies. This is evident when he tells Price, “Got around at last, have you? Well, let’s go

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Lourdes hadn’t bothered to study for the essay exam, joking that her motto was "fake it ‘til you make it." Now, as she stared in horror at the test booklet, the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers. What kind of figurative language is used?
a. personification
b. simile
c. metaphor
d. hyperbole
Answer:
The kind of figurative language being used is:
a. personification
Explanation:
Personification is a common figure of speech in literary works. Personification happens when an author gives living qualities to non-living things. For instance, if the speaker of a poem says that the wind and the leaves are dancing during fall, he is using personification. Wind and leaves are not humans; they do not dance. However, by saying so, the speaker makes the movements of the leaves being carried by the wind more artistic, more vivid even.
The same happens when the author of the passage we are analyzing says, "the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers." Blank pages are not beings, much less conscious beings. They cannot know anything or laugh at all. But, by phrasing it this way, the author makes it seem that Lourdes is being mocked, that her fate is quite an ironic one.

The small kitten was walking aimlessly around the yard I decided to help her find her home, which is a run-on sentence. The correct option is c.
What is a run-on sentence?A run-on sentence can be understood as poor grammar. It exists when two independent clauses or the main clauses are incorrectly joined.
More than one independent clause cannot exist in a sentence unless they are properly combined. To properly combine clauses, correct conjunctions or punctuation must be added to the sentence.
Despite their name, run-on sentences have nothing to do with length. The only thing that determines a run-on sentence is when more than one independent clause exists without the proper tools to combine them.
Run-on sentences are quite short.

We all had the same medals, except the boy with the black silk bandage across his face, and he had not been at the front long enough to get any
medals. The tall boy with a very pale face who was to be a lawyer had been lieutenant of Arditi carefully selected volunteers specializing in
dangerous campaigns and had three medals of the sort we each had only one of. He had lived a very long time with death and was a little
detached. We were all a little detached, and there was nothing that held us together except that we met every afternoon at the hospital.
Although, as we walked to the Cova through the tough part of town, walking in the dark, with light and singing coming out of the wine-shops,
and sometimes having to walk into the street when the men and women would crowd together on the sidewalk so that we would have had to
jostle them to get by, we felt held together by there being something that had happened that they, the people who disliked us, did not
understand.
