The Railway Children
By Edith Nesbit

Chapter I, The Beginning of Things

They were not railway children to begin with. I don't suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook's, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud's. They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and 'every modern convenience', as the house-agents say.

There were three of them. Roberta was the eldest. Of course, Mothers never have favourites, but if their Mother HAD had a favourite, it might have been Roberta. Next came Peter, who wished to be an Engineer when he grew up; and the youngest was Phyllis, who meant extremely well.

Mother did not spend all her time in paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her. She was almost always there, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons. Besides this she used to write stories for them while they were at school, and read them aloud after tea, and she always made up funny pieces of poetry for their birthdays and for other great occasions, such as the christening of the new kittens, or the refurnishing of the doll's house, or the time when they were getting over the mumps.

These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys, and a Mother Goose wall-paper. They had a kind and merry nursemaid, and a dog who was called James, and who was their very own. They also had a Father who was just perfect—never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game—at least, if at any time he was NOT ready, he always had an excellent reason for it, and explained the reason to the children so interestingly and funnily that they felt sure he couldn't help himself.

You will think that they ought to have been very happy. And so they were, but they did not know HOW happy till the pretty life in the Red Villa was over and done with, and they had to live a very different life indeed.

The dreadful change came quite suddenly.Prompt Choice 2 (Informational Response)

Review the excerpt above. Answer the following question in a well-developed paragraph.

How does the story describe the ideal life? What details create a sense of perfection? Be sure to use information and details from the excerpt to support and explain your answer.

**Be sure to re-state the question in your topic sentence and use specific examples and details from the story to support your answers. Proofread your work before submitting.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: To begin, we need to review the question:  How would you describe a scene from your childhood? What colors and images do you remember most clearly? Write a narrative of an early childhood memory.

Here is an outline; one introductory paragraph, followed by three body paragraphs, and an conclusion:

Introduction: Use a hook and introduce the first topic.

Body Paragraph 1: 2nd scene and how its alike

Body Paragraph 2: 3nd scene and how its alike

Body Paragraph 3: 4nd scene and how its alike

Conclusion: wrap it up!!

I suggest the Informational Response Paragraph: Write at least 1 paragraph (best is 2) about How does the story describe the ideal life? What details create a sense of perfection? Be sure to use information and details from the excerpt to support and explain your answer. Tips: Don't focus on one question too much, plus i'm not giving you answers, sorry.

a. Correct
b. believes

Answers

Answer:

b. Believes.

Explanation:

Subject-verb agreement refers to the use of the same number for the subject and the verb used. In other words, the subject-verb agreement means the subject and the verb are the same in number, meaning a singular subject will have a singular verb, a plural subject will have a plural verb, etc.

In the given sentence, the subject is "neither of my little brothers". This means it is a singular subject, referring to none of the brothers. Thus, according to the subject-verb agreement, the verb will be in the singular too.

Therefore, the correct sentence will be

Neither of my little brothers believes in Santa Claus.

The correct answer is option A. “Setting a Path to End All Homelessness.” United States Interagency Council on Homelessness. 2017. 18 Sep. 2017.

Explanation

In research, documents from government entities are preferred over others such as news reports or general texts. This occurs only with the first source because this was written by a government agency. Moreover, this means the authors are experts and the text was revised, and therefore, the text is credible. On the other hand, this is the most relevant source because it focuses on the same topic as the research which is solutions to homelessness in modern America. So, the correct answer is A.

The rays of the numerous candles (for there were many) now fell within a niche of the room which had hitherto been thrown into deep shade by one of the bed-posts. I thus saw in vivid light a picture all unnoticed before. It was the portrait of a young girl just ripening into womanhood. I glanced at the painting hurriedly, and then closed my eyes. Why I did this was not at first apparent even to my own perception. But while my lids remained thus shut, I ran over in my mind my reason for so shutting them. It was an impulsive movement to gain time for thought?—to make sure that my vision had not deceived me—to calm and subdue my fancy for a more sober and more certain gaze.

C.

D.

Answers

Answer: C.  The setting causes the characters to have difficulty finding food.

Explanation:

The setting infers that the characters in question are looking for food to eat. First the men who came in on horseback ask for food and say they are starving which means that they have had difficulty finding food.

Then the notice that the ranch may not have food as well when they say that there is no way the place can be empty and lacking of food seeing as there was a child there. This means that the woman herself wants food so the setting is such that the characters seem to all have difficulty in finding food.

make this passive voice pls ...[it help us to make oo7 conversation style.it will definitly bring a great revolution in our life.]​

Answers

Answer:

The elaboration of the oo7 conversation style was carried out thanks to the help of it, which caused a revolution in our lives.

Explanation:

A sentence that has a passive voice is one where the subject undergoes the action presented by the verb and does not perform the action presented by the verb. As you may already know, the verb is the word that promotes an action or a state, while the subject is the term that allows the action of the verb to happen, promoting it in some way. In this case, in the sentence shown in the question above, we can see that the verb is the word "help" and the subject is the word "it" in the first sentence. "It" is promoting the action represented by the verb "help," which makes this sentence a active voice sentence. To transform it into the passive voice, we must rewrite this sentence, making "it" start to suffer the action of this verb. This can be done as follows:

"The elaboration of the oo7 conversation style was carried out thanks to the help of it, which caused a revolution in our lives."
