Read the excerpt from Chapter 4.
Anne of Green Gables
by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla had decided to adopt a boy to help on their farm called Green Gables. When a girl, Anne, arrives, they are surprised. In this excerpt, Anne has just awoken after her first night at Green Gables.
Anne could evidently be smart to some purpose for she was down-stairs in ten minutes’ time, with her clothes neatly on, her hair brushed and braided, her face washed, and a comfortable consciousness pervading her soul that she had fulfilled all Marilla’s requirements. As a matter of fact, however, she had forgotten to turn back the bedclothes.
“I’m pretty hungry this morning,” she announced as she slipped into the chair Marilla placed for her. “The world doesn’t seem such a howling wilderness as it did last night. I’m so glad it’s a sunshiny morning. But I like rainy mornings real well, too. All sorts of mornings are interesting, don’t you think? You don’t know what’s going to happen through the day, and there’s so much scope for imagination. But I’m glad it’s not rainy today because it’s easier to be cheerful and bear up under affliction on a sunshiny day. I feel that I have a good deal to bear up under. It’s all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it’s not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?”
“For pity’s sake hold your tongue,” said Marilla. “You talk entirely too much for a little girl.”
Thereupon Anne held her tongue so obediently and thoroughly that her continued silence made Marilla rather nervous, as if in the presence of something not exactly natural. Matthew also held his tongue,—but this was natural,—so that the meal was a very silent one.
As it progressed Anne became more and more abstracted, eating mechanically, with her big eyes fixed unswervingly and unseeingly on the sky outside the window. This made Marilla more nervous than ever; she had an uncomfortable feeling that while this odd child’s body might be there at the table her spirit was far away in some remote airy cloudland, borne aloft on the wings of imagination. Who would want such a child about the place?
Yet Matthew wished to keep her, of all unaccountable things! Marilla felt that he wanted it just as much this morning as he had the night before, and that he would go on wanting it. That was Matthew’s way—take a whim into his head and cling to it with the most amazing silent persistency—a persistency ten times more potent and effectual in its very silence than if he had talked it out.
When the meal was ended Anne came out of her reverie and offered to wash the dishes.
“Can you wash dishes right?” asked Marilla distrustfully.
“Pretty well. I’m better at looking after children, though. I’ve had so much experience at that. It’s such a pity you haven’t any here for me to look after.”
“I don’t feel as if I wanted any more children to look after than I’ve got at present. You’re problem enough in all conscience. What’s to be done with you I don’t know. Matthew is a most ridiculous man.”
“I think he’s lovely,” said Anne reproachfully. “He is so very sympathetic. He didn’t mind how much I talked—he seemed to like it. I felt that he was a kindred spirit as soon as ever I saw him.”
“You’re both queer enough, if that’s what you mean by kindred spirits,” said Marilla with a sniff. “Yes, you may wash the dishes. Take plenty of hot water, and be sure you dry them well. I’ve got enough to attend to this morning for I’ll have to drive over to White Sands in the afternoon and see Mrs. Spencer. You’ll come with me and we’ll settle what’s to be done with you. After you’ve finished the dishes go up-stairs and make your bed.”
Anne washed the dishes deftly enough, as Marilla who kept a sharp eye on the process, discerned. Later on she made her bed less successfully, for she had never learned the art of wrestling with a feather tick. But it was done somehow and smoothed down; and then Marilla, to get rid of her, told her she might go out-of-doors and amuse herself until dinner time.

Which revision would most improve this excerpt from a narrative?
Like many other 12-year-olds, Hannah loved animals. She especially
loved horses. Because her mother taught riding lessons at a nearby
barn, Hannah got to spend a lot of time caring for the horses and riding
them. Hannah considered herself lucky to even borrow other people's
horses, so she was shocked to learn that the man had left her a
beautiful mare, Diamond, in his will. She had never expected to own
her own horse!
O A. Describing the barn in more detail
O B. Explaining how Hannah would care for the horses
C. Including a resolution to the problem
D. Introducing the character who left Hannah the horse
Answer:
B. Explaining how Hannah would care for the horses.
Explanation:
This would be the best revision to the narrative because it would explain Hannah's love for horses in more detail. It would show how she loves the horses by explaining how she cares for them.
All the other revisions are more or less so irrelevant, as the point of the narrative is to explain Hannah's love of horses.
I hope this helps! :)
Explaining how Hannah would care for the horses is the revision that would most improve this excerpt from a narrative. So, the correct option is B.
What do you mean by Narration?Narration may be defined as a way or process that reveals any story in actual form.
This excerpt illustrates the immense care for horses that is taken by Hannah. She extremely loves horses, takes care, and spends a lot of time in horse serving.
Therefore, explaining how Hannah would care for the horses is the revision that would most improve this excerpt from a narrative. So, the correct option is B.

Is a college education worth the price today? College tuition has almost doubled in the last twenty years. More than half of all recent college graduates are currently unemployed or in jobs that do not require a college degree.
Answer:
It depends on the college, some are good, and some are bad. If you have a goal that is hard to get to, then maybe going to college is a good idea, if you prefer getting a job that isn't hard to get into, then maybe you shouldn't go to college. Personally, I think it's nice to be able to tell people that you have a college degree in this and that. My advice is to follow your heart.

Read about the landfill orchestra in Paraguay below: In a perfect world, everyone would have a happy childhood with ample money and access to education. They would be able to play sports if they wanted, or learn to play a musical instrument. Unfortunately, it's hard to imagine a world further from this ideal picture than the one many children grow up with in Cateura, Paraguay. i Cateura, there is a huge landfill. Recyclers, or gancheros, scavenge through the garbage looking for cyclable plastic and aluminum they can trade in for money. The children of these gancheros often have nothing to do but play in the landfill while they wait for their parents to finish work for the day. In 2006, that all changed. Favio Chavez was a technician at the Cateura landfill with a passion for music. He conducted a youth orchestra on weekends in the small town of Carapegua. When he brought the youth orchestra to perform for the people of Cateura, many gancheros asked if he would teach music to their children. Chavez agreed, but it quickly became clear that the musical instruments he lent them for rehearsals were not enough. If the young musicians were to progress, they would need to practice at home. So Favio Chavez came up with an idea: he began making musical instruments out of the recyclables he found in the landfill. After much experimentation, he found that used oven trays, paint pots, and oil barrels all worked well when refashioned into violins and cellos. He gave these instruments to the children, and they were able to practice in between rehearsals. The orchestra became good enough to play for an audience, and Chavez now takes the children all over the world to perform. There has even been a movie made about the landfill harmonic.

DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, combine milk, vanilla pudding mix and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk thoroughly, breaking up any lumps, and refrigerate for at least 5 minutes, or until set.
In another large bowl, combine heavy cream and vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside half of the mixture for topping the dish. Fold remaining half into the pudding mixture.
Cover the bottom of a 3-quart trifle dish with vanilla wafers. Top with one-third of the pudding mixture. Cover with another layer of the wafer cookies—you may want to also stand some cookies up vertically, so you see the full circle along the edge of the trifle dish. Top with an even layer of banana slices. Continue layering the pudding, wafer cookies and banana slices until you reach the top, ending with a final layer of banana pudding.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to overnight.
Sweeten the remaining whipped cream: Add sugar to whipped cream, stirring to combine. Just before serving, dollop on top of the banana pudding, then sprinkle crumbled wafer cookies on top.

B. Overreaction of Somali government toward fishers
C. Attacks on Somali fishers by international pirates
D. Illegal entry of cargo ships into Somali waters
Answer:

Illegal international fishing in Somali waters encouraged Somali fishers to take up pirating, hence option A is correct.
What are Somali fishers?People who work in the fishing sector in Somalia, a nation in the Horn of Africa, are known as Somali fishers. The effects of overfishing by foreign ships and a lack of effective government regulation have presented considerable difficulties for Somali fishermen in recent years.
Local fishermen have found it difficult to make a livelihood due to the decline of fish stocks in Somalian waters, and some have turned to piracy as a way of survival.
The issue of Somali piracy has become a complex problem involving economic, environmental, and political factors.
Therefore, illegal international fishing in Somali waters encouraged Somali fishers to take up pirating, hence option A is correct.

"I booked a very impulsive but much-needed solo trip."
My 25th birthday was coming up, and while I had basically evaded any kind of real celebration for the previous decade, I decided to make this birthday a memorable one. I had been itching to get out of the country for a while, and I kept talking to friends about wanting to see France, so I booked a very impulsive but much-needed solo trip one night a few weeks before my birthday. I explored as much of the art, nature, food, and history of Nice and Paris as I could in 6 days, totally at my pace and without some strict itinerary, and it felt good. I spent all my money, but all things considered, I have no regrets and would recommend it to anyone. — Samra S.
"I taught myself how to play the guitar."
In high school, I was our band’s only trombone player. As a joke I asked my band teacher if instead of the trombone, could I play the guitar in the pit band for the drama club’s production that year. For some reason my teacher called my bluff and said yes. I did not know how to play the guitar. BUT that semester I took the time to teach myself! I didn’t play it in the production (the drama club director thought we, as an entire band, were too lousy sounding and went with a piano track instead) but to this day I still play around with a guitar whenever I’m stuck on something and need to think. — Tim U.

Read the passage from a speech by President George W. Bush. We have other work to do on taxes. Unless Congress acts, most of the tax relief we've delivered over the past 7 years will be taken away. Some in Washington argue that letting tax relief expire is not a tax increase. Try explaining that to 116 million American taxpayers who would see their taxes rise by an average of $1,800. Others have said they would personally be happy to pay higher taxes. I welcome their enthusiasm. I'm pleased to report that the IRS accepts both checks and money orders.

Look for some news about Peace and Conflict in Colombia and the president’s comments about it. Then, write your Column giving your opinion about this topic. You must write the source where you took the information. The column must have from 250 to 300 words. Take into account the structure of a column.
Answer:
Peace in Colombia and the ongoing conflict.
Peace in Colombia has been a topic of discussion for many years, the guerrilla in Colombia was created on April 9, 1948, however, there is a history that this armed organization began in 1946.
The guerrilla in Colombia was born from the conflicts of the treacherous parties of the 40s, the ideology of the Colombian guerrilla is “the use of the armed struggle to denounce and promote the solution of the social needs of the population in the face of national exploitation and In addition to pointing out the other failures and injustices within a democracy that they do not consider as such ”, however, during the years of development of this organization in the Colombian jungles, it has been demonstrated with clear facts that the guerrilla organization has as base of its organization the production and export of hallucinogenic substances with which it sells and finances its ideology, which in my opinion is far from protecting or fighting for social causes, but is directed to the accumulation of wealth from the sale of drugs, search for power, violation of human rights and totalitarianism.
Peace in Colombia is scourged by the leaders of the country, who through the use of power and direction of the media, show a biased peace and an oppressed people, with fear and with the pain of homeland.
In the current demonstrations due to the tax reform, it shows the discontent of the people for the abuse of power and for the exhaustion of the embezzlement of the nation, seeing that the monies that citizens pay in taxes are not used in education, development of the country or In social investment, in addition to these protests, we find armed groups infiltrated in the protests that develop vandalism, without counting on the usual vandalism of the cities.
On the other hand, the division of the people, between military forces and the community, when we should all be united to be able to move forward and show that there are more good people in this country, that there are more of us who want quality public schools, regardless of the stratum, class or religion, we all want a country of inclusion, in allowing wealth to grow through the hard and horrendous work of each one.
Unfortunately, the pandemic that plagues the world, the hunger that has awakened in the country, the loss of companies, jobs, trying to promote a tax reform in Colombia at a time of so sensitive in our country makes peace in Colombia is not an easy subject to deal with, easy to understand and easy to explain.
Our president Iván Duque has not made a pronunciation where he reaches agreements and we manage to reorganize the current situation.
