Which student does not have a positive mind-set?
i was confused about this question because all of these sound positive.
a. ralph wants to be the captain of the basketball team, so he comes to practice early every day to work on his dribbling skills.
b. john gets nervous when speaking in class, so he practices in front of his parents before he has to give a presentation.
c. dave wants to go to college with an excellent reputation, so he's taking the easiest courses in high school to get good grades.
d. bob wants to be a car mechanic, so he worked all summer mowing lawns tosave enough money to buy an old car.

I would say it is C.

Explanation:

All of them do seem positive, but C isn't. All the others worked hard to achieve their goal, but Dave went with an easy way. You can't always do the easiest to succeed, because you'll have to go through many difficulties.

I hope this helped you! :)

for instance, he uses alliteration to use repetitive consonant sounds when he is writing a word at the beginning of a phrase. he uses personification to give personality to a thing or action. he uses imagery when he is describing the woman. we also can find metaphors to better compare a moment.

these techniques add to the reader’s experience of beauty when the author describes the woman physical beauty and the purity of her mind, using imagery.
