Read the excerpt from the common sense of bicycling: bicycling for ladies. as you place the saddle forward raise it in front. many riders fail to do this, and the result is that they have to bear heavily on the handles to keep from slipping forward. read the paraphrase that bruno wrote to him understand the excerpt. to avoid grabbing the handles too hard when you ride, slide the saddle forward but raise the front of the saddle, too. to improve his paraphrase, bruno should add extra ideas like “and loosen your grip” that clarify the meaning. delete “slide the saddle forward” to maintain the meaning of the original excerpt. add information about avoiding “slipping forward” to include key details he skipped. change the phrase “grabbing the handles” to be restated in his own words.

bruno should change the phrase "grabbing the handles" and rewrite the sentence. grabbing the handles is a consequence of slipping forward, so what riders should avoid is slipping forward.

"to avoid slipping forward when you ride, slide the saddle forward but raise the front of the saddle, too."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.
