I. Read an interview with Michelle Fossett, a knife thrower's assistant.
Fill in gaps a)—f) in the article with questions 1-6.
1. Did you have any accidents in those ten years?
2. How did you meet your knife-throwing partner?
3. Did he say sorry?
4 How did you become a knife thrower's assistant?
5. Which is worse, being the assistant or the thrower?
6. When was your first show together?
a) ...............................
I was born into the circus. My dad was a knife thrower and my mum was his assistant. One day Mum couldn't assist him, so I did. I didn't have to, it was my decision. This was when I was 12. Dad never hit me or my mum - he was very good.
b) .... ...
I met him at my uncle's circus. He wanted to be a knife thrower and he needed an assistant. We had to practise for hours every day. But it was fantastic to hear our first audience go "Ooh!". The last part of the act was throwing six knives on fire. The audience really loved that.
c)..... . Did you have any accidents in those ten years?..........................
Over ten years ago. And we worked out that, in the first ten years of our act, my partner threw 195,200 knives at me!
d) ...............................
Yes, when he tried to throw the knives too close together. He hit me three times — in the leg, in the arm and the top of my head! But I couldn't go to the doctor's because I had to do the next show. That's what circus people do — the show must go on.
e).... Did he say sorry?.......
No, he didn't say sorry, but then he never apologises! I got really angry about that and we had a big arguement — but after the show, not in front of the audience. That's unprofessional.
f) ...............................
It's the same. If something goes wrong, we both feel really bad! But I love the excitement It's wonderful when 500 people are watching me and I'm making them happy.
II. Read the article again. Complete the sentences.
1. Michelle first assisted her father because her mother...............................
2. We know her father was a good knife thrower because he ...............................
3. Her partner hit her three times because ...............................
4. She had to do the next show so she ...............................
5. Her partner didn't apologise so they ...............................

II.
1. Michelle first assisted her father because her mother couldn't assist him one day.
2. We know her father was a good knife thrower because he workes as a knife thrower in the Circus
3. Her partner hit her three times because he tried to throw the knives too close together
4. She had to do the next show so she couldn't go to the doctor's
5. Her partner didn't apologize so they had a big argument
Explanation:
To answer the first question, make sure to carefully read the beginning of each answer. For example, the one that begins with "No, he didn't say sorry," would most likely be the answer to "Did he say sorry?"
To answer the second question, look for the information provided and change the grammatical person:
...I couldn't go to the doctor's
...she couldn't go to the doctor's
From what you know about "get, what does "Did you get how to do that math
- problem?' mean?
O
A. Understand how to do the math problem
B. Buy a program to help you with math
C. Pick up the math notes
D. Keep up with the math notes
Answer:
A. Understand how to do the math problem
Explanation:
When someone says "Did you get how to do that math problem? " they're asking you if you understood it. Not to keep up with the math notes or pick it up, there isn't even a mention of any notes in that sentence.
For example:
"Hey Mitchell, did you get how to do that math problem on the geometry quiz?"
" Yeah, I used the Pythagorean theorem"
You were invited to a movie premier in which the President was the guest of honor.However,in the middle of the premier,a murder took place .
As an eye witness,give a scenic description of what happened and what you saw.
Answer and Explanation:
When I reached the movie theater, I saw faces excited and curious about the film that was to be broadcast, but after a few minutes I could only hear a very loud, deafening crack! A shot!
People started running in a disorderly way and I could hear lots of screams and noise of people falling and running over each other. Chaos mingled with the movie's audio and everything got really scary, until the security exit opened and everyone started running out of the room, in complete chaos.
I couldn't see from where in the room the shot was released, but as I ran out of the room I tripped and fell and looking to the side I could see someone's body on the floor, in a pool of blood. I believe this person was shot. Terrified, I got up shakily and ran to the exit, where I awaited the arrival of the authorities.

What's the answer to the picture taken
The correct answer is D. Get as closer to the subject as possible.
Explanation
The text is about the composition of a photograph and the methods to make it suitable depending on the requirements and taste of the person taking the photos. According to the author, the objects or subject to be captured in the photo must also be taken into account, and from this, the distance between the photographer and the object is essential "farther you are, the more of the surroundings will be included in your photo". He later talks about the importance of the orientation and angle of the photo to improve the composition of the photo. According to the above, if a photographer only wants to capture the subject in a photo, he must take the photo from a very close distance. So the answer is D. Get as closer to the subject as possible.
The room in which I found myself was very large and lofty.

Answer:
When the person clearly states his opinion and provides specific examples - Most likely to persuade.
The person is older than the reader - Somewhat likely to persuade.
When the person shouts, uses lots of exclamation points, or accuses anyone who doesn't agree of being ignorant - Not likely to persuade.
Explanation:
The above are correct. I have been able to match the element of argument with the likelihood that it will persuade a reader.
When opinions are clearly stated and communicated and backed up with specific examples, it is most likely to persuade. The specific examples provided reinforces and solidifies the person's opinion. The older person can persuade if the younger reader knows of the person's expertise and experience.
Using shouting and accusation will not lead to any form of persuasion.

Think about the two specific stanzas that the blues singer sings in “The Weary Blues.” What happens in each of the stanzas? How does the contrast between the two songs reinforce the overall theme of the poem?
Answer and Explanation:
The poem's first stanza shows how the environment was affected by the music the man played. In the second stanza, the poem shows all the melancholy and sadness in the music that the man sang, but somehow, the reader can see that music is a way of expression for this man, it's the way he puts these sad feelings out . Thus, the contrast between these two stanzas show how the man who is very sad about his own life, feels better after singing, because the music relieves him.
This reinforces the overall theme of the poem. This theme shows that melancholy, loneliness and sadness can be lightly relieved through music and artistic expression.
Answer:
Explanation:
The poem's first stanza explains how the environment was affected by the music the man played. In the second stanza, the poem shows all the melancholy and sadness in the music that the man sang. However, somehow, the reader can see that music is a way of expression for this man. It's the way he expresses his sadness. In other words, the contrast between these two stanzas shows how the man, who is very depressed about his own life, feels better after singing. This occurs because music eases his pain.This reinforces the overall theme of the poem. This theme shows that melancholy, loneliness and sadness can be lightly relieved through music and artistic expression.

Which equation shows 2.4 as the constant of
proportionality?
Answer:
c) a = 2.4b
Explanation:
Option C is the correct answer.
Constant of proportionality refers to the ratio between two quantities which are proportional to each other.
In the given equation, the two quantities a and b are directly proportional to each other. When two quantities are directly proportional to each other, they increase and decrease at the same time.
So, a and b are directly proportional to each, therefore the relationship between them is:
a = 2.4b
where 2.4 is the constant of proportionality while a and b are the quantities.
