Choose the letter of the implied main idea of the passage below.
A fundraiser comes to your door and asks for a five-hundred-dollar contribution. You laughingly refuse,
telling her that the amount is way out of your league. She then asks for a ten-dollar contribution. If you are
like most people, you'll probably be a lot more agreeable than if she hadn't asked for the huge contribution
first. Similarly, college students were stopped on the street and asked to agree to a substantial favor-acting
as unpaid counselors for juvenile delinquents two hours a week for two years. Surprisingly, no one agreed to
such an outrageous request. But when they were later asked the considerably smaller favor of taking a group
of delinquents on a two-hour trip to the zoo, half the people complied. In comparison, only 17 percent of a
control group of subjects who had not first received the larger request agreed.
People are basically selfish and unwilling to help others.
Only a small percentage of any group will agree to perform voluntary service.
More people are willing to contribute money to a cause than donate their time.
People are more willing to agree to a small favor after they have refused a large one.

Choose a stanza from any poem, including those in this lesson. Write a paraphrase of those lines. Then compare the original stanza with the paraphrase. What has changed in the transition from poetry to prose?

Answers

Answer:

I love to write

Day and night

What would my heart do

But cry, sigh, and be blue

If I could not write

Paraphrase:

The (writer) loves to write! The writer would be very sad if they weren't able to write.

Comparison: While the Poem rhymes and used descriptive words to tell how sad the writer would be if they couldn't write (cry, sigh, be blue) the paraphrase just states clearly and simply the interpretation of the stanza.

Answer:

Here is the second stanza of "The Sparrow":

So birds of peace and hope and love

Come fluttering earthward from above,

To settle on life's window-sills,

And ease our load of earthly ills;

But we, in traffic's rush and din

Too deep engaged to let them in,

With deadened heart and sense plod on,

Nor know our loss till they are gone.

And here is a paraphrase of the stanza:

Peace, hope, and love are like birds that come fluttering down and sit upon our window sills. They try to draw our attention, but we ignore them because our lives are busy. We fail to notice that these elements are missing from our lives, but we regret that failure only when we realize that we have lost them.

The paraphrase does not have the same effect as the poem because it does not use the sound devices. It sounds like a flat statement of facts. However, the ideas gain clarity in the paraphrase.

Explanation:

A - is incorrect because having only short-term goals will work out in the short-term, but once those are completed there needs to be something more.

B - is incorrect because while having educational goals are important, it will not make sure that you reach those goals.

C - is correct because having something specific in mind can help to visualize what you need in order to achieve those goals, which can help you on a path forward.

D - is incorrect because financial goals, while important, will not help you reach any goals, and because money isn't everything.

There are various versions of English verbs. The word sing, for instance, might be conjugated as sang, sang, sung, singing, or sings. Hence option C is correct .

What is the form of Verb ?

There are 5 forms in all. Not many, especially when you consider that certain languages—like French—have more than 30 versions for a single verb. Although English tenses can be rather complex, the forms we employ to create them are really pretty straightforward.

English major verbs only have three, four, or five forms, with the exception of the verb be. 8 types of Be exist. Because most of them never change, helping verbs have even fewer forms.

We will examine the forms of major verbs and supporting verbs in this lesson, followed by a quiz to assess your comprehension.

Various Main Verb Forms

key verbs(apart from "be") have three, four, or five forms. There are eight different forms of the verb "be." The number column in the table below displays the actual number of forms for each verb.

All verb tenses, as well as other verbal structures in all moods, aspects, and voices, are created using these forms.
