Explanation:
i just did the test
Answer:
When the narrator says, “it didn’t pay well at all,” he means he felt like his identity presented challenges with few rewards
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the narrator speaks about the difficulty of going between two different communities. Though he is American Indian, he spends only part of his time on the reservation, and therefore he thinks of it as something he does “part-time.” It is like a job to him because it is a role. Here pay refers to rewards because he does not have an actual job.
You often get phone calls,______?
question tag
Answer:
aren't you?
Explanation:
Form
auxiliary verb + subject
We use the same auxiliary verb in the tag as in the main sentence. If there is no auxiliary verb in the main sentence, we use do in the tag.
You live in Spain, don’t you?
If the auxiliary verb in the sentence is affirmative, the tag is negative.
You’re Spanish, aren’t you?
If the auxiliary verb in the sentence is negative, the tag is affirmative.
You’re not Spanish, are you?
Meaning
We use tag questions to confirm or check information or ask for agreement.
You want to come with me, don’t you?
You can swim, can’t you?
You don’t know where the boss is, do you?
This meal is horrible, isn’t it?
That film was fantastic, wasn’t it?
We use tag questions to check whether something is true.
The meeting’s tomorrow at 9am, isn’t it?
You won’t go without me, will you?
Additional points
In the present form of be: In an affirmative statement, if the subject is “I”, the auxiliary changes to aren’t in the tag.
I’m sitting next to you, aren’t I?
I’m a little red, aren’t I?
With let’s, the tag is shall we?
Let’s go to the beach, shall we?
Let’s have a coffee, shall we?
With an imperative, the tag is will you?
Close the window, will you?
Hold this, will you?
We use an affirmative tag after a sentence containing a negative word such as never, hardly, nobody.
Nobody lives in this house, do they?
You’ve never liked me, have you?
When the subject is nothing, we use “it” in the tag.
Nothing bad happened, did it?
Nothing ever happens, does it?
If the subject is nobody, somebody, everybody, no one, someone or everyone, we use “they” in the tag.
Nobody asked for me, did they?
Nobody lives here, do they?
If the main verb in the sentence is have (not an auxiliary verb), it is more common to use do in the tag.
You have a Ferrari, don’t you?
She had a great time, didn’t she?
With used to, we use “didn’t” in the tag.
You used to work here, didn’t you?
He used to have long hair, didn’t he?
We can use affirmative tags after affirmative sentences to express a reaction such as surprise or interest.
You’re moving to Brazil, are you?
Pronunciation
If we don’t know the answer, it is a real question and we use a rising intonation with the tag.
You don’t know where the boss is, do you? ↗
If we know the answer and are just confirming the information a falling intonation is used with the tag.
That film was fantastic, wasn’t it? ↘

Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
Despite our best efforts as parents, we will always make mistakes in raising our children. It's inevitable. There are so many decisions to be made in any given day, week, month, or year. It's an inhuman task to make all of these decisions correctly. Who would even want to try for perfection?
We shouldn't worry too much, though, because it is precisely our mistakes that teach our children the most about life. Life is full of mistakes, obstacles, and trouble. Shielding our children from these by striving for perfection in our own parenting does them no favors.
Given this, a parent might be tempted to give up trying to make good decisions and simply let the chips fall where they may. Admittedly, that attitude is not without its benefits, but it goes too far in the other direction. Children are much more observant than we think, but often draw the wrong conclusions from what they observe. If we give up trying to make the right decisions, they might get the message that we don't care about their future.
We can take comfort in this much: we teach our children even when we're not trying to. That doesn't mean we should stop trying to do our best, to make the right decisions whenever possible. It just means that we shouldn't beat ourselves up when we make mistakes. Either it won't matter because it's something small, or it just might build some character in our children, a commodity that will serve them well.
"Despite our best efforts as parents, we will always make mistakes in raising our children"?

Answer:
The word "despite" is a transition that: A. contrasts.

Transition words are used to transition smoothly from one idea to another in a way that connects them. "Despite" is a type of transition word that indicates contrast between the two ideas being expressed. In this same category, we can mention: although, conversely, still, yet, even so, while, whereas, etc.

Answer: Changing the order of events can build tension and suspense.

New Hart’s Rules is the updated edition of Hart’s Rules for Compositors and Editors, a style guide published by the Oxford University Press. Hart’s Rules began as a single sheet of paper drawn up by university printer Horace Hart in 1893, but over the years it’s morphed into a tightly-written comprehensive guide to punctuation and style. It will not teach you how to write, or how to understand English, but if you don’t know what the right thing is to do, it will help you out. (It’s sometimes available with the Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors as the Oxford Style Manual, but I find the Manual a bit unwieldy and prefer them in separate volumes.)

His voice was distant, and Leon thought that his blue eyes looked tired.
"It's O.K., Father, we just want him to have plenty of water."
The priest sank down into the green chair and picked up a glossy missionary magazine. He turned the colored pages full of lepers and pagans without looking at them.
