1. When evaluating text, readers should ask themselves two specific questions and one of those questions is  "What's the difference between fiction and nonfiction?" This is to clarify confusion and understanding of what they are reading. The answer is B.2. The purpose of a graphic organizer is to help the reader organize details that reveal the main idea. It is a tool used to organize information and at the same time identify the relationship between the details and the main idea of the story. 3. The word "Hang out," is  considered informal speech or writing in this case. It used when addressing people who are within your closer circles. It should not be used though when writing a formal email.   The answer then is A.4.   In a workplace email, when addressing a coworker, you may use an exclamation point in your salutations. When addressing family, friends and co-workers of the same status or one who is considered close, informal writing is acceptable. The answer is B.5. She said, "Please share with me." The period should be within the quotation marks and not on the outside. Also, a comma is placed before the quotation. This rules out the other choices. The answer then is B. 6. Procedural writing presents the steps to accomplish a goal. It establishes a way something is to be done or a way of doing something. It can be in the form of step-by-step instructions or a how-to guide style. Narrative writing on the other hand is a story. I The answer is then C.7. The tone is the attitude of the author towards the topic. It is expressed through the choice of words and the details used to describe the events or the topic at hand. The answer is then B. 8. Most of the evidence used to support claims in a text are found in the text's body.  The introduction is the hook are what captures the attention of the reader. The conclusion is written at the end and is used to wrap up the text. The main idea is usually found within the body and is the idea that will be supported by the evidence found in the body. The answer is B.9. The Venn diagram is a type of graphic organizers that can be used to compare and contrast. The inner part of the circle, where they overlap is where similar ideas are represented. The outer circles show the areas where they are different. The answer is C. 10.   A writer includes figurative language when writing a narrative to strengthen descriptive details. Figurative language also adds character and style to a text. Other uses of figurative speech is to emphasize important details, especially when describing an event, person or emotion. The answer is C.
