Part Two: Write two sentences for each of the word pairs. Correctly use each word in a sentence.
A. weather / whether
B. affect / effect
C. accept / except

Answer:

Weather - I’m surprised to see that the weather was becoming warmer.

Whether - Whether we want to admit it or not, we all wish everyone would like us.

Affect - An early frost in Florida can affect the orange crop negatively.

Effect - The effect of the medicine on her illness was surprisingly fast.

Accept - They offered him a job, & he accepted.

Except - Everything was in good order except the boots

Explanation:

Weather is primarily used as a noun. It is the state of the atmosphere in a particular place e.g., rain, sunshine, snow and so on. Whether is a conjunction. It is mostly used to introduce a clause and express a doubt or choice between alternatives.

Affect and effect are easy to mix up. Here's the short version of how to use affect vs. effect. Affect is usually a verb, and it means to impact or change. Effect is usually a noun, an effect is the result of a change.

Accept means to agree or to receive something offered. Except means excluding or with the exception of. The ex- of except can help you to remember that it means excluding.

Read the excerpt from "Healthy Eating."

But no one can ignore the damage being wrought by all this bad eating. More than one out of three adults in the United States -- 37.5 percent -- are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some of the leading causes of death -- heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes -- are directly linked to obesity. And childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years. With more than a third of kids between 6 and 19 considered obese, the CDC reports, they are at substantially more risk for developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bone and joint conditions, and cancer.

The author's argument that a poor diet can be harmful to a person's health is

ineffective, because it lacks clear and reasonable evidence.
ineffective, because it leaves the reader with questions.
effective, because it addresses and refutes a counterclaim.
effective, because it includes facts from a credible source.

Select all that apply.

Read this excerpt from “What I Hope to Leave Behind.” If we have known happy homes, we want to reproduce the same type of thing we have had; and even though we may always be critical of some things in our past, time nearly always puts a halo around even a few of the disagreeable things, and most women dream, as they rock their babies or busy themselves in household tasks, that their daughters will do the same things someday. Which statement explains how this excerpt relates to the position of women during Eleanor Roosevelt’s time? Although some women may have raised sons and daughters, they lived during a time when they taught their daughters to work in the home. Although some women had difficult upbringings, they lived during a time when working in the home was their only option. Although some women may have had doubts about working in the home, they lived during a time when doing so was often taken for granted. Although some women had been raised to consider individual careers, they lived during a time when they often opted to work in the home.

Why do we take chances?

Picture this: a herd of elephants flies past you at sixty miles per hour, followed by a streak of tigers, a pride of lions, and a bunch of clowns. What do you see? It must be a circus train! One of the first uses of the circus train is credited to W.C. Coup. He partnered with P.T. Barnum in 1871 to expand the reach of their newly combined shows using locomotives. That's another word for train. You see, before trains, moving the circus was hard. They had to lug around all their animals, performers, and equipment with a team of more than 600 horses. Since there were no highways, these voyages were rough and took a long time. Circuses would stop at many small towns between the large venues. Performing at many of these small towns was not very profitable. Because of these limitations, circuses could not grow as large as the imaginations of the operators. After they began using circus trains, Barnum and Coup only brought their show to large cities. These performances were much more profitable and the profits went toward creating an even bigger and better circus. More stages or "rings" were added and the show went on. Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus relied on the train to transport their astounding show until they went defunct in 2017.
