Answer:
The words from the excerpt that best help the reader determine a tone of distress are:
B. "sob," "groped," and "dragging"
Explanation:
Tone is conveyed through word choice, in literature. It helps readers understand what the narrator and/or other characters are feeling, or what the situation is supposed to inspire in readers. The only way for the author to convey such sensations and emotions is by choosing words that are connected to them.
In the passage we are analyzing here, the words "sob," "groped," and "dragging" convey distress. Distress means extreme anxiety or extreme sorrow, suffering, affliction. A person who is not feeling anxious, sad, or suffering is not likely to sob, to grope, or to drag. Lighter words would be used to describe them. Now, if people drag their feet and grope around while sobbing, we can sense they are distressed.
Answer: "sob," "groped," and "dragging"
Explanation:
distress means: extreme anxiety, sorrow, or pain. You can tell by the words sob, groped and dragging that T.J. is upset which is another word for sorrow.

Most jobs now require computer skills, but the digital revolution has not improved our quality of life. Since a desktop computer, complete with headphones for sound-based functions, exist in every office, work should be simpler. However, neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale have resulted from our switch from paper to computers. Indeed, each worker’s tasks has become more complex. In the past, for example, one invoice or two purchase orders was needed to complete a request for supplies. The process, including online confirmation, now require five separate documents. The result of this unnecessary complication, not surprisingly, are frustration and curses. Everyone, including the supervisors, are fed up with the extra work. When our division implement a new computer system next month, I expect at least two of my co-workers to quit. Fifteen hours of training are needed to learn the new system, and that is more time than any of us have to waste.

Explanation:
According to what you've written in the question, there are approximately 10 errors in the passage. I was able to find nine. Notice that, in the original passage, the verbs were not agreeing with the subjects properly. In the passage I posted above, they have already been corrected.
They are as follows:
1. a desktop computer... exist --> exists (singular subject, singular verb)
2.neither increased efficiency nor improved employee morale have --> has (subjects with "neither... nor" need a singular verb)
3. tasks has --> have (plural subject, plural verb)
4. one invoice or two purchase orders was --> were (when the subject has "or", the verb agrees with the noun closest to it)
5. the process... require --> requires (singular subject, singular verb)
6. the result... are --> is (singular subject, singular verb)
7. everyone... are --> is (singular subject, singular verb)
8. our division implement --> implements (singular subject, singular verb)
9. any of us have --> has (the verb agrees with "any", not "us")

I was enjoying a great afternoon at Meadowlark Park last week, and then an unfortunate event occurred. I was riding my skateboard in the parking lot, trying a new trick. I think most of you can imagine this, because I have seen you out there doing the same thing. Anyway, I was crossing an empty part of the lot, gaining speed, when a county employee appeared. He said there is a new rule forbidding skateboarding in the parking lot, and official signs would be posted next week.

Children need lengthier recess sessions in order to reap the full benefits from the play session. They need ample time to move their body, to explore, to tinker, to problem-solve, to work through their emotions, and to dive deep into their imaginations. Short fifteen- to twenty-minute recess sessions often interrupt the children just as they are about to figure out who and what they are going to play.

my english hw is getting difficult! A man wants to enter an exclusive club, but he doesn't know the password. Another man walks to the door and the doorman says 12, the man says 6, and is let in. Another man walks up and the doorman says 6, the man says 3, and is let in. Thinking he had heard enough, he walks up to the door and the doorman says 10, he says 5, and he isn't let in. What should he have said?
Answer:
3
Explanation:
it's the amount of letters in each word number as the code. Ten has three letters.
Answer:
i think i know 3?
Explanation:
well at first i thought that it was half because half of 12 is 6 and half of 6 is 3
and so half of 10 is five, but since it wasn't correct, i looked closely and look at this
TWELVE= 6 letters
SIX= 3 letters
and so they have the answer correct, and it want half, because it was the amount of letters the number had.
so....
TEN= 3 letters
so maybe that's the answer
