Read the excerpt.

One morning in late January, my teacher turned the classroom television to a Martin Luther King Jr. special while she marked the day’s attendance and handed back our homework. When I saw the footage of Mr. King standing before the masses in Washington, I sat straighter in my chair. I heard his famous speech despite the chaos of our morning routine, and I blinked back tears of pride, maintaining the look of indifference my middle school peers expected.

The excerpt is from a memoir because
A. it introduces fictional characters.
B. it reveals a futuristic narrative.
C. it contains objective researched facts.
D. it shares the writer’s emotional responses.

Answer:

D is the best answer, a memoir is a personal account so it would have emotional responses

Answer:

D. it shares the writer’s emotional responses.

Explanation:

A memoir is "a historical account or biography written from personal knowledge or special sources."

A historical count does not include fictional characters, so (A) is wrong.

A historical count has already occurred, and is not in the future, so (B) is wrong.

The excerpt does not contain objective researched facts, so (C) is wrong.

Furthermore, a memoir is written using personal knowledge, so (D) makes sense as it include emotional responses, a type of personal knowledge.

Read the following passage from Heywood Broun’s The Fifty-First Dragon to answer questions 6-10.
OF all the pupils at the knight school Gawaine le Cur-Hardy was among the least promising. He was tall and sturdy, but his instructors soon discovered that he lacked spirit. He would hide in the woods when the jousting class was called, although his companions and members of the faculty sought to appeal to his better nature by shouting to him to come out and break his neck like a man. Even when they told him that the lances were padded, the horses no more than ponies and the field unusually soft for late autumn, Gawaine refused to grow enthusiastic. The Headmaster and the Assistant Professor of Pleasaunce were discussing the case one spring afternoon and the Assistant Professor could see no remedy but expulsion.

“No,” said the Headmaster, as he looked out at the purple hills which ringed the school, “I think I’ll train him to slay dragons.”

“He might be killed,” objected the Assistant Professor.

“So he might,” replied the Headmaster brightly, but he added, more soberly, “we must consider the greater good. We are responsible for the formation of this lad’s character.”

“Are the dragons particularly bad this year?” interrupted the Assistant Professor. This was characteristic. He always seemed restive when the head of the school began to talk ethics and the ideals of the institution.

“I’ve never known them worse,” replied the Headmaster. “Up in the hills to the south last week they killed a number of peasants, two cows and a prize pig. And if this dry spell holds there’s no telling when they may start a forest fire simply by breathing around indiscriminately.”

“Would any refund on the tuition fee be necessary in case of an accident to young Cur-Hardy?”

“No,” the principal answered, judicially, “that’s all covered in the contract. But as a matter of fact he won’t be killed. Before I send him up in the hills I’m going to give him a magic word.”

“That’s a good idea,” said the Professor. “Sometimes they work wonders.”

6. What is this passage about?
The problems that may arise from fighting dragons
How the educators would change Gawaine’s course of study
The way the Professor and the Headmaster taught about dragons
Giving Gawaine a magic word to help him fight dragons

How did Billy's father-in-law die? (Slaughterhouse)

help how do I explain ‍♀️ the story is basically about a old couple and a storyteller gives them a mill, the mill will give u whatever u want it to give u. For example, If u say the command, and say what u want, it will give it to u. But, if u want it to stop, u have to command it to stop. So one day the old couple went out and never locks their door, and their neighbors next door are ungrateful because the old couple have nice clothes and they eat good food while the neighbors next door, don’t. The neighbors heard the old man say the command to the mill and the neighbors saw the mill give the old man what he wanted, so the neighbors decided to steal the mill. The neighbors then leave to somewhere nobody knows them and the neighbors wanted salt so they said the command, but they don’t know the command to stop it. Salt then spills everywhere and they decide to throw it in the sea. yeah that’s basically the whole story.
