Mononucleosis, or "mono" for short, is an infectious disease usually caused by the
Epstein-Barr virus. This virus is transmitted through saliva, so mono can be spread
through kissing, coughing, sneezing, and sharing straws or utensils. Symptoms may
include fever, sore throat, fatigue, weakness, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck or
underarms. A doctor may need to do a blood test to confirm a diagnosis of mono.
Symptoms usually go away on their own within a few weeks, but some patients continue
to experience fatigue and weakness for several months.
Which author's purpose is suggested by the text?
to inform readers about the discovery of the Epstein-Barr virus
to describe how it feels to have mononucleosis
to inform readers about an infectious disease called mononucleosis

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The author's purpose suggested by the text is:

C. to inform readers about an infectious disease called mononucleosis.

Explanation:

Let's summarize the passage by dividing it into topics:

- there is a disease called mononucleosis;

- the virus that causes it is the Epstein-Barr;

- it spreads through saliva;

- the symptoms include fatigue, fever, sore throat, etc.;

- a blood test can confirm the disease;

- the symptoms last a few weeks.

As we can see, the passage gives us some general knowledge about the disease. It does not focus on how the virus was discovered at all. Even though it mentions the symptoms of mono, it is incorrect to say that the passage's purpose is to describe how it feels to have the disease. That is not its focus, it is just one of the many topics it discusses. Therefore, the best option is letter C:

C. to inform readers about an infectious disease called mononucleosis.

Explanation:

The sentences have possessive adjectives. In other words, they are pronouns followed by a noun. When we want to add a person's name in the sentence, we have to replace the possessive adjective with the name in brackets. Then we and add the 's, which is the genitive case.

For example, in the sentence These are her keys (Susan), the possessive adjective is her, and the noun that follows is keys, so we write Susan's instead of her. These are Susan's keys.

The possessive case and the genitive case both show possession. Another way to show possession is by writing the word of. To do so, we first identify the possessive pronoun and the noun. Then we change the possessive pronoun by the and, then we write of and the person. For example, In Its dinner is here, it becomes the dinner of the dog is here.

It is long since I wrote to you, because I know you must be where you could not receive my letters: and perhaps it may be some time before I write to you again, on account of a contagious and mortal fever which has arisen here, and is driving us all away. It is called a yellow fever, but is like nothing known or read of by the physicians. . . .

In the centre of the room, clamped to an upright easel, stood the full-length portrait of a young man of extraordinary personal beauty, and in front of it, some little distance away, was sitting the artist himself, Basil Hallward, whose sudden disappearance some years ago caused, at the time, such public excitement and gave rise to so many strange conjectures.

How does the writer seem to feel about the appearance of the model he has described?
He thinks the young man is very attractive.
He thinks the young man is very unattractive.
He thinks the young man is very ordinary.
He thinks the young man is very strange.

Answers

Answer: He thinks the young man is very attractive.

The Tinker's Willow

Edward W. Frentz



One day, when my Grandfather Gifford was about seven years old, he looked across the road to his father's blacksmith shop, and seeing someone sitting on the bench by the door, went over to learn who it was.

He found a little old man, with thick, bushy eyebrows and bright blue eyes. His clothes were made all of leather, which creaked and rattled when he moved. By his side was a partly open pack, in which grandfather could see curious tools and sheets of shiny tin. By that he knew that the man was the traveling tinker, who came once or twice a year to mend leaky pans and pails, and of whom he had heard his mother speak.

The old man was eating his luncheon - a slice or two of bread, a bit of cold meat, and a cold potato; and because it seemed so poor a luncheon, grandfather went back to the house and brought two big apples from the cellar. The old man thanked him and ate the apples. Then he got up, brushed the bread crumbs from his leather breeches, and taking a little tin dipper from his pack, went down to the brook for a drink of water. When he had had his fill, he came back to the bench and sat down.

Iy isa situation or meeting in which people can talk abouta problemor matter especiallyof pubkuc interest in a public place

Answers

Answer:

Public forum.

Explanation:

A group discussion can be defined as a form of communication in which a group of people meet face-to-face (one on one) or connect remotely (via the internet) to exchange ideas, interact, and share opinions on a common topic or subject matter.

Generally, group discussions comprises of members and a leader who is saddled with the responsibility of presenting the topic, stating the facts and overall coordination of the discussion. Also, the various members involved in the group discussion are able to connect what they see, hear and how everyone responds to each other.

A public forum is a form of group discussion in which there's a moderator that moderates the discussion and ensure members abide by set rules.

Hence, public forum is a situation or meeting in which people can talk about a problem or matter especially of public interest in a public place.

For example, the need for a citizen to get a personal voting card (pvc) and exercise his or her fundamental rights by voting during an election may be discussed on a public forum.

B. Each group of lines must treat a new subject.
O c. Sound effects are confined to certain parts of the poem.
D. The poem loses its sense of being a unified whole.

Explanation:

Certain images and ideas are grouped together is an effect of separating poems into stanzas. Hence, option A is correct.

What are stanzas in a poem?

In poetry, a stanza is a grouping of lines that is typically separated from succeeding stanzas by a space or blank line. Through the use of double spacing or other indentations, poems can have several stanzas. Stanzas can rhyme, though it's not always essential.
