Read the following excerpt from "Why I Wrote 'The Passage'" and answer the question that follows.

|Once Monty existed, the story mostly told itself, as stories often do if you get out of| |the way and let them. The games in the story--Life, Risk, Monopoly, checkers--come| |from "Man in the Moon" (track 10), as does the name Andi; the Northwest Passage| |from "Find the River" (track 12); the final moment in some complicated sense |
|from "Sweetness Follows" (track 6). All this I understand. What puzzles me is why my| |mind went back to that day in the spring of fifth grade--why that moment? That's a | |mystery. But here's a guess: it had something to do with that laugh, my friend turning| |around to correct me, my ten-year-old self still needing to make things right in some| |quiet way. Writing is useful at these times. Here, you sometimes say to a younger| |version of you, take this--it will help.|

What lesson can other writers learn from Martin and his writing of "The Passage?"


The best thing a writer can do is plan out every aspect of the story.

Writing can be a powerful experience to work through struggles in life.

The only way to write a good story is to use an event from your childhood.

Basing a story on music is a great way to get ideas flowing.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I think the answer is "Writing can be a powerful experience to work through struggles"

Explanation:

All his examples seem to be depictions of being able to digest something that was easy for him to comprehend, but his one memory that sticks with him is one that had a impact on him, and his emotions in a way he couldn't seem to figure out. With his statement of "Writing is useful at these times" makes me think that he wished he had some form of outlet to confess confusing thoughts/feelings too.

This is just my interpretation, and what I think the teacher might be looking for. I hope this helps, I'm really sorry if it doesn't . Good Luck!

You: Now, you understand the concept of freedom. Freedom is good until it provide benefits but when it damages, it becomes harmful.

Explanation:

When we need to fill in the blanks with entire sentences, there are two good ways to figure out which ones will most likely be correct. First, read all the options and then the text. By doing that, you will already have an idea of what the options are about and will most likely realize which paragraph they fit in.

Second, look for the same words in both  the option and the text. For instance, if a paragraph mentions "chemicals", the option that also mentions that word will likely be the one to complete that blank.
