Which sentence shows that the author is using first-person point of view?
It was a lazy Sunday afternoon. The sun was blazing over the roof, baking us all like cookies in an oven. I was lying on the sofa reading an old book. I was home alone because my mom had gone to her friend's wedding. She had asked me to come along. But who would want to step out in the scorching heat? The only activity worth doing on a hot afternoon is to read a good book while sipping lemonade. I had just begun to enjoy the book when there was loud knock on the front door. I looked up and wondered if it were a robber, a salesperson, or just the next-door lady looking for sugar. Our neighbors were funny people. They would run out of things at the weirdest hours. I put my book away and walked to the door.

Locate the complete infinitive phrase and identify its use. Tom and Tim decided to spend the afternoon tobogganing. Infinitive Phrase: Use:
Answer:
Infinitive Phrase: to spend the afternoon tobogganing.
Use: As an adverb.
Explanation:
An infinitive phrase is a verb phrase that contains the word "to" + the base form of the verb. This means that an infinitive phrase is a phrase with the construction "to+ V1 + modifiers".
In the given sentence "Tom ad Tim decided to spend the afternoon tobogganing", the infinitive phrase is "to spend the afternoon tobogganing". Here, the "to+V1" form is the infinitive that describes what the subjects "Tom and Tim" are doing or decided to do.
And the infinitive phrase in this sentence acts as an adverb as it describes the verb. The easiest way to identify an infinitive phrase as an adverb is if the sentence answers the question "where, when, why, how, for what reason" etc.
Thus, the correct answers are
Infinitive Phrase: to spend the afternoon tobogganing.
Use: As an adverb.
Answer: Infinitive Phrase: to spend the afternoon tobogganing

Some of the ways in which the central idea of a sonnet can be identified include ;

I need some help on explaining what I think some quotes mean
1 - "It’s true what they say, that words are the true weapons. Those who fight with steel are limited to the strength of their arm, the reach of their blade, and the timing of their strike; but those who fight with persuasion know no limits––not time, nor status, nor chance."
2 - "Advertising is fundamentally persuasion and persuasion happens to be not a science, but an art."
3 - "The triumph of persuasion over force is the sign of a civilized society"
:) <3 (I need these before Friday btw)
Answer:
1- Your answer is in the paragraph itself. Those who choose violence might inflict physical pain and can deal a lot of damage, but there's a limit. There's only so much damage one can do before getting tired or giving up. Words on the other hand are powerful, and have no limit. You can reach so many more people around the world, and cand e timeless as we have the internet now as well.
2- Persuasion here is being referred to as an art rather than science because of the words that you put together and sentences that you form that can change someone's mind. Changing one or two words can change the whole outlook of a sentence.
3- This one is talking about how words, or persuasion over a matter or discussion, over force or violence, will lead to a more successful and civilized society. There will be a lot of differences between people, especially in a society, so being rational and sorting things out with words will keep everyone pleased.

How do the authors use historical evidence to support their claim in this passage?
Answer:
I think the passage ran away.
write a mature story that illustrate a saying I had never felt so embarrassed in my life
Answer:
It was my first day in my school after shifting. I studied upto 5th standard in my previous school which shut down due to some reason. So, in this school I had to go in 6A8(my section). In my previous school, the class boards were written in normal numbers like 5-A. And over her they were written in Roman numbers like VA-7, like that. And I was really weak in Roman numbers. So when I reached the new school, I was irritated at the fact of the class plates being in Roman form. However I knew that 6 was IV or VI but not sure. So what I did was I stood in front of IV-A8, thing it was VI-A8. And 15 minutes passed like that and not a single student entered the class. I was like, "They all had to be absent today?!". Then a teacher passed by me. She asked me which class I was in. I just pointed to IV-A8 . She just smiled and left, not a single word uttered from her mouth. Then with all my guts, I went in the vacant classroom, took off my abaya, kept my bag and was just roaming in the class. Suddenly I noticed a Roman numerals chart in the class, When I saw it, I directly saw the Roman numeral for the number "6", it was "VI". I did not remember which class I entered in, so I went outside the class to check it, I saw IV but until that I had forgotten what was on the chart, IV or VI. So, once again went back in the class, came out of the class. Then I knew what a big blunder I had made! Wore the Abaya, put the bag on, switched off the lights, fan and AC's(yeah it had 3 AC'S). Stood outside for couple of minutes and as I am an introvert, I was not free to ask people where was VI-A8. But now a lot of time passed. There was a girl just running to her class, as the first period already started and in a haste I asked her to please direct me to VI-A8. she refused first, as she was getting late, but then I insisted so she agreed. She took me to the 2nd floor, and pointed out at the end of a corridor and said that it was the last class in the corridor. I said thank you but she ran in an opposite direction not listening to me... However when I finally reached the class, already 20 minutes were over. A poster making competition was going on.. My class teacher welcomed me, introduced me, asked me to fill a form and then handed me the poster and explained me the topic, it was, "Environment Day"! While making the poster, I took an oath to learn Roman numbers perfectly. And later on I learned that actually 3-5 grades were having holidays. So now I know why that teacher just smiled and went... However this was the most embarrassing moment of my life which now you know. By the way, now I am in 9th in that same school, IISJ. My previous school, HIS. In Jeddah, KSA!
True incident..
Is it relatable..
Anyone from Jed, KSA?
And anyone studying in IISJ or used to study in HIS?

Prepare a speech about cultural identity using what you've learned from the short
story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker.
Answer:
my previous draft which may give you a start
Hello, my name is ______, and today I'll be discussing Cultural Identity Swapping. Dee is a character in the short story "Everyday Use," and if you haven't read it yet, I recommend that you do so in order to gain a better understanding of culture and identity swap. Her name, Dee, represents a part of her ancestors' culture. She chose to change her name and culture so that no one would recognize her as an African American slave's child. She wanted to change her culture, so I looked into how simple it is to change one's cultural identity, and let me tell you, it's not easy. “Changing your cultural identity is harder than you think,” according to this website article. It's like starting a new school and finding out that no one likes you, so you can't make any new friends. All you have to do is keep your head down and avoid learning new things or making new friends. It's the same with culture; you try to change your cultural identity, but your cultural identity comes from your parents or ancestors, so it's not easy.” That said a lot to me. It demonstrates to me that you live your entire life with your cultural identity; you can change your normal identity, but when it comes to your culture, things go downhill quickly. It's a lot more difficult to work with team and traditions and activities than it was when your parents did so. entire culture just by changing her name. Now, you might think she got off easy, and I agree, but it was a symbol of her ancestry and all of that stuff that was passed down, so I imagine it was difficult to get over. At the end of the day, everyone is a completely different person. Thank you for taking the time to listen.
