Answer:
Participle
Explanation:
Participles are verb forms that can be used as adjectives, to create verb tense, or to create the passive voice. There are two types of participles:
present participle - they end with -ing;past participle - they end in -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n.These endings make it easier for us to recognize these words. In the given sentence, we have the participle fighting. It's a part of the verb phrase is fighting.
A gerund is a noun derived from the verb by adding -ing to its root. Since we can see that fighting isn't a noun here, we know that gerund is the wrong option.

A Three-Point Turn
Chapter 1
"You know, hardly anyone ever needs to do a three-point turn anymore," said Justin, trying to help Becky calm down.
"Oh, so it's not a useful skill AND I am probably going to fail the driving test because I can't do it anyway," Becky said, raising her voice for emphasis. "That should make me feel like a million bucks when I flunk."
Justin was riding with Becky so she could take her driving test. He had volunteered for the job because he thought she would be less nervous with him than with their mom, but so far, he wasn't sure he was making any difference.
"Slow down, your turn is coming up here," he said, looking ahead.
"I know, I know," she replied, "I've been here before remember—the last time I flunked."
Justin was pretty sure if he had let her miss the turn, things would only have deteriorated further, but he wasn't sure he was fond of being the scapegoat for Becky's anxiety.
"Listen, you need to take a few deep breaths," he said, hoping he could help her at least relax a bit. "Being nervous won't help you with the three-point turn or anything else you have to do. Hey, did you just take that turn without your turn signal on?" This was going to be harder than he thought.
"Stop yelling at me," Becky replied, clearly frustrated, "I can't concentrate."
"Look, you need to stop and get yourself together here," Justin started. "It is not just about passing the driving test. I don't want to get in an accident, so pull into that parking lot."
Becky drove into the office building's parking lot where Justin was pointing. Justin knew they were less than a mile from the licensing office, and if she continued in this condition, he'd be having this same discussion three months from now when she tried the test again for the third time.
"You need to get a grip," he started after she put the car in park, "because you have studied and practiced driving all year. You know this stuff inside and out, backwards and forwards. What are you so nervous about?"
"I don't know, I don't know," Becky wailed, resting her head on the steering wheel. "I just get so tired of failing."
Listening quietly as Becky sobbed, Justin realized this was about much more than a driving test. He also knew if he didn't find a way to help Becky things would just get worse.
Chapter 2
Justin took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. Becky was an unbelievably consistent straight-A student. It was Justin who got the bad grades in school, and Justin who had to repeat every math class he'd ever taken. It was Justin who wished he could get the grades Becky got. Some things came easier for Justin: He was athletic, handy with tools, and good at making the best of whatever life threw at him. Mom called him her "lemons into lemonade" kid. But for the most part, Becky succeeded easily, whereas Justin had to work and work to just get a passing grade.
Rather than having Becky catalogue all the things she supposedly "failed" at, Justin decided to try an alternative approach, one that wouldn't remind him of all the ways he had failed.
"Okay, Becky, let's assume for a moment you fail this test again. What is the worst thing that could happen?" he asked.
"I would be the oldest kid at school without a license and be humiliated," she replied. Justin thought he heard a bit of panic in her voice but continued with his plan.
"Yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway?" he asked.
"Yes, but..." she started.
"And who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? You know Mom can't afford another car just for you, right?"
"Yes," she said quietly.
"So what difference does it make, really," he said. "Another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right?"
"I suppose not," she said.
Justin could tell she was breathing more slowly now. "Besides," he said, "I would miss all the practice driving with you," and for good measure he reached over and pinched her arm.
"Ow," she said, hitting back at him, "that hurt."
"So let's go do this, okay?
"Okay," she said. Becky cranked up the car, backed slowly out of the parking spot and drove up to the parking lot's exit. Justin noticed, as they waited for the traffic to clear, that she had remembered the turn signal.
Using both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of "The Three-Point Turn," write a short essay explaining how Justin is able to convince Becky that flunking the driving test will not be all that bad.
please read it and do it
Answer:
In both chapters on and two Justin is trying to convince Becky that isn't that bad if to fail the driver's test text and he gives very good reasons like here in the text "
'And who will know, if you don't tell anyone except your friends, that you don't have your license? You know Mom can't afford another car just for you, right?'
'Yes,' she said quietly.
'So what difference does it make, really," he said. "Another three months to wait in the grand scheme of your life doesn't seem like all that long, right?'
"(Chapter 2 sentence7-8)
Justin also tells her that she still needs to carpool with him for another year in this sentence of the text "
'Yes, but won't we still have to drive to school together for at least one more year anyway?' he asked.
" (Chapter 2 sentence 6) this shows that if she fails it wouldn't matter because if she did they still had to ride together and the other piece of the text shows that her mom can't afford another car right now. so if she fail she would need to wait three months and she could retry and by then her mom may have enough for her to have a car.

Read this excerpt from Chapter II of Alice in Wonderland.
"Good-by, feet! Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I shall be a great deal too far off to trouble myself about you."
Just at this moment her head struck against the roof of the hall; in fact, she was now rather more than nine feet high, and she at once took up the little golden key and hurried off to the garden door.
Poor Alice! It was as much as she could do, lying down on one side, to look through into the garden with one eye; but to get through was more hopeless than ever. She sat down and began to cry again.
How does the author use opposites to illustrate how tall Alice is growing
A: by mentioning Alice’s desire to enter the garden
B: by describing Alice’s head hitting the roof
C: by mentioning that Alice is crying
D: by describing Alice trying to find shoes that fit

If a story has a shifting point of view, then the fiction work will be more ___________.
Answer:
Inconsistent.
Explanation:
A shift in point of view occurs when there is a change in pronoun perspective such as changing from first person to third person pronoun, etc.
For example,
As WE drove into the city, YOU could hear the silence of the frightened residents.
There is an inconsistency in the sentence because of the pronoun shift which results in a shifting point of view.
That sentence can be rewritten with a consistent point of view such as:
As WE drove into the city, WE could hear the silence of the frightened residents.

King wrote letter from Birmingham jail in response to what
Answer:
"A Call for Unity "
Explanation:
“A Call for Unity” was an open letter composed by the white clergymen. It was published in Birmingham, Alabama after the arrest of King and other people who urged for civil rights by actions of civil disobedience.
In the letter, the men stated that they are agreeing with the need for equality, but not in the way in which King tried to gain it. They deemed him as the outsider and urged people to try to legally solve problems, and not by protests and disobedience.
King referred to these men at the beginning of the famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail”. He noted that he sees they have the right ideas, but that there is a good reason for his actions, and proceeds to explain them, as well as the problem.
