Read this paragraph from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.

Well, three or four months run along, and it was well into the winter now. I had been to school most all the time and could spell and read and write just a little, and could say the multiplication table up to six times seven is thirty-five, and I don't reckon I could ever get any further than that if I was to live forever. I don't take no stock in mathematics, anyway.

Answers

Answer:

Do you ever wonder why a grammatically correct sentence you’ve written just lies there like a dead fish?

I sure have.

Your sentence might even be full of those adjectives and adverbs your teachers and loved ones so admired in your writing when you were a kid.

But still the sentence doesn’t work.

Something simple I learned from The Elements of Style years ago changed the way I write and added verve to my prose. The authors of that little bible of style said: “Write with nouns and verbs, not with adjectives and adverbs.”

Even Mark Twain was quoted, regarding adjectives: “When in doubt, strike it out.”

That’s not to say there’s no place for adjectives. I used three in the title and first paragraph of this post alone.

The point is that good writing is more about well-chosen nouns and strong verbs than it is about adjectives and adverbs, regardless what you were told as a kid.

There’s no quicker win for you and your manuscript than ferreting out and eliminating flabby verbs and replacing them with vibrant ones.

Your first hint is your own discomfort with a sentence. Odds are it features a snooze-inducing verb.

As you hone your ferocious self-editing skills, train yourself to exploit opportunities to replace a weak verb for a strong one.

At the end of this post I suggest a list of 249 vivid verbs you can experiment with to replace tired ones.

3 Types of Verbs to Beware of in Your Prose

1. State-of-being verbs

These are passive as opposed to powerful:

Is

Am

Are

Was

Were

Be

Being

Been

Have

Has

Had

Do

Does

Did

Shall

Will

Should

Would

May

Might

Must

Can

Could

Am I saying these should never appear in your writing? Of course not. You’ll find them in this piece. But when a sentence lies limp, you can bet it contains at least one of these. Determining when a state-of-being verb is the culprit creates a problem—and finding a better, more powerful verb to replace it—is what makes us writers. [Note how I replaced the state-of-being verbs in this paragraph.]

I really hope this helps (。・//ε//・。)

your story must begin with: one day, a boy was walking home​

Answers

Answer:

Walking home from school wasn't always the greatest thing I enjoyed doing, but it was the quickest way. I made sure to slow down so I didn't trip on any dead branches that might have fell during the hours I was gone, very carefully placing my feet on the ground one by one. Twigs would crack from under my feet, and I could hear insects flying around my head. Possibly at one point, I heard other creatures crawling about the floor. .

At a moments' glance, I see a shadow of a figure in the distance. A rather tall figure, with long hair blowing in the wind. The forest became silent as I quickly came to a halt so I could listen. I could have sworn on what I saw, but after that moments' glance, the figure was gone. I waited a good five-ten minutes before continuing to move forward, just so I could catch something if it did happen to appear again, but nothing showed. I wondered what all the possibilities of that figure could be, even the one I could have sworn it to be. I had to make sure that it could have been nothing else. .

I came to the conclusion that it could have also been a figment of my imagination, a sort of hallucination that my mind was playing on me. For me being out there alone, it was almost too much for me to handle, imaging the idea of another human being out there wandering around. And the fact that I had no clue what their intensions would have been to appear like that in front of me, also made me even more uneasy about the situation. But I still continued to move forward. I didn't have too much further to go.

I could see the light through the trees as I was nearing the end of the forest into the clearing. I emerged and started my journey to my house that was just over a small hill. When I started my journey, I saw the figure again in my peripheral vision on my left side.

One day a boy was walking home. he was a couple blocks from his house. when walking down one street is connected to his street he heard a sudden loud noise. he quickly turned around to find nothing. he stood there puzzled as he swore he heard something. He kept walking. then all of a sudden another loud noise. speed walk home open the door and close it shut lock the door and ran up to his room. later that day as he waited for his parents to come home he turn on the TV. adi started watching TV breaking news all of a sudden went on the screen.

Answer:

B. It lends credibility to your paper.

Explanation:

A persuasive essay (also called an argumentative essay) is a type of essay written to convince readers to believe in an idea or opinion and perform an action. When writing a persuasive essay, you should use logic and reason to prove that your point of view is the correct one. Your arguments should be supported by convincing facts.

Besides that, it's very important to pay attention to the conventions of the language you are writing your essay in. We are more likely to believe someone who uses correct grammar than someone who makes mistakes. That is how proper language lends credibility to your paper.

What is a passage?

A passage is simply a portion or section of a written work, either fiction or nonfiction. Some hold that a passage can be as short as a sentence, but most consist of at least one paragraph and usually several.

One iteration of SAT Passage-based Reading included both Short Passages of 1-2 paragraphs and Long Passages of 4-9 paragraphs. These days, most test passages, at least at the high school level, come in at what is amorphously described as medium length.

Some passages incorporate excerpts from multiple sources and may lack a central idea of their own. However, in most instances and on most test sections, a passage presents a carefully curated excerpt that can be perceived as containing some sort of greater meaning.

This greater meaning might present as a thesis or claim in a nonfiction passage or a contained story in a fiction piece.
