Jackie is writing a speech that claims that students should sell fruit instead of candy for the school fundraiser. in her speech, jackie wants to rebut the counterclaim that “students should sell candy like last year.” which is the best rebuttal that jackie could use in her speech?

a i know that we sold candy last year, but we don’t always have to sell candy every year we have a school fundraiser. we could try selling something different this year, like fruit.

b last year we sold several thousand dollars worth of candy, and all you students ate
that candy, which is probably why you want to sell candy again this year. but i don’t think that’s a good reason.

c i know a lot of students want to sell candy like last year, but fruit tastes sweet too and is better for us. isn’t the country trying to encourage healthier eating these days?

d last year i sold a lot of candy, just like you did, and we made a lot of money for the school. but i felt guilty selling so much candy to little kids whose teeth would rot and who might have gotten sick from eating all that candy. don’t kids get enough candy as it is?

Which of the following is best written: 1. my favorite day of the year is july 24 my birthday 2. my favorite day, of the year, is july 24 my birthday 3. my favorite day of the year is july 24-my birthday 4. my favorite day of the year is (july 24) my birthday

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
