To find the answers, let's analyze each question step by step:
1. In this question, the term that best fits the sentence is being asked. The sentence states that when you have given the facts, details, and plot points without showing your opinion, you are being something. To find the answer, let's look at the options: chronological, objective, transitional, subjective. Since the sentence specifically mentions not showing your opinion, the best term that fits is "objective."
2. The question asks which of the following items should be included in a summary. To find the answer, let's look at the options: the conflict or problem of the story, descriptions of all the characters, the writer's personal opinion, an inference the reader discovered. A summary is a brief overview of a story, so it should include the essential elements. The conflict or problem of the story is a crucial element that should be included in a summary.
3. This question asks which item contains a transition word between events. To find the answer, let's analyze each option:
- In option 1, there is no transition word ("to watch" is not a transition).
- In option 2, "At home" is a phrase that provides additional information but not a transition between events.
- In option 3, "after" is a transition word that shows the sequence of events, making it the correct answer.
- In option 4, "had" is not a transition word, but rather a past tense verb.
4. In this question, we need to determine which sentence in the summary is subjective. To find the answer, let's analyze each sentence:
- The first sentence, "Fiona took a trip to California with her family," is a factual statement and not subjective.
- The second sentence, "After the long plane ride, she accidentally left her cell phone on the plane," is also a factual statement and not subjective.
- The third sentence, "She must have been very worried about it!" expresses an opinion and subjective assessment, making it the correct answer.
- The fourth sentence, "A family happened to find it and brought it to the help desk," is a factual statement and not subjective.
