Responses

used omniscient perspective to show the narrator knows everything there is to know
used omniscient perspective to show the narrator knows everything there is to know

used third-person pronouns to tell the story from an outside perspective
used third-person pronouns to tell the story from an outside perspective

used second-person pronouns to bring

Answer 7

The correct response regarding what the writer did to establish a point of view is:

• used second-person pronouns to bring

(Note: The sentence in the paragraph provided uses first-person pronouns such as "I" and "my," which indicates a first-person point of view rather than second-person pronouns. However, if we assume the response was cut off, it seems the intended answer should reflect first-person perspective.)

If there's another response option regarding first-person perspective, that would also be the correct choice in this context.

Answer 8

Use the paragraph to answer the question.

You didn’t mean to come here, but you came anyway. Now that you’re here, you might as well take a look around and figure out how to make our time together useful. Let’s begin.

Answer 9

The correct response regarding what the writer did to establish a point of view is:

The use of "you" and "let's" indicates a second-person point of view, directly addressing the reader and making them a part of the narrative.

Answer 10

Use inspection to solve the equation x^2=81, then select the complete solution set below. If there are no real solutions, select “There are no real solutions.”(1 point)
Responses

{−9,9}

{−9}

There are no real solutions.

{9}

Answer 11

To solve the equation \( x^2 = 81 \) using inspection, you can take the square root of both sides. The solutions are:

\[ x = \sqrt{81} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\sqrt{81} \] This results in:

\[ x = 9 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -9 \]

Thus, the complete solution set is:

{−9, 9}
