In "rules of the game", what do waverly's mother's comments reveal indirectly about her ambitions for waverly? "next time win more, lose less." / "ma, it's not how many pieces you lose," i said. "sometimes you need to lose pieces to get ahead." / "better to lose less, see if you really need." / at the next tournament, i won again, but it was my mother who wore the triumphant grin.

a) she wants waverly to block her opponent
b) she wants waverly to lose
c) she wants waverly to stop playing
d) she wants waverly to be successful

A

Explanation:

Waverly's mother is upset that she often loses chess pieces to her opponent, which is made clear when she says "Next time win more, lose less." Because of that and the other comments, we know that it's not B or C, because she never said anything that insinuates that she wants Waverly to lose or stop playing. Although her mother is happy when Waverly wins again, she never says anything about wanting her to be successful, so it's not D.

Basically, A is the correct answer because Waverly would lose less pieces if she blocked her opponent, and her mother wants her to lose less chess pieces.

all of the statements cuz

what: when quoting a source, use the author’s words verbatim, or word-for-word. this means you shouldn’t change any grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc. put quotations around the words to tell your reader where the quote begins and where it ends.

you also need to acknowledge the author. for example, if using mla format for your research paper, you should have in-text citations with the author’s name and page number listed at the end of each quote.

when: use quotations to provide concrete examples to support your claims. using direct quotations is a great way to build your credibility on the subject. it’s also a good idea to quote your source when the author states things in a powerful way. if you think he or she said it best, then use the exact words to share the ideas.

example: in the short story “a jury of her peers”, mrs. hale compares mrs. wright to her caged bird, saying “she—come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and—fluttery. how—she—did—change” (glaspell).

paraphrasing

what: paraphrasing differs from quoting because you restate the passage in your own words. since you don’t use the author’s words, you don’t need to use quotation marks. however, you still need to acknowledge the author for his or her ideas.

when paraphrasing a text, you should communicate the full meaning of the text; don’t change the meaning. it can be a condensed version of the text, or it could end up being longer than the source it’s paraphrasing.

when: you use paraphrasing when you take notes, or explain a chart or diagram to someone. paraphrasing highlight the important parts of a larger text. it also allows you to simplify the ideas for your readers.

example:

original: “it was no ordinary thing that called her away–it was probably further from ordinary than anything that had ever happened in dickson county. but what her eye took in was that her kitchen was in no shape for leaving: her bread all ready for mixing, half the flour sifted and half unsifted” (glaspell).

paraphrase: as mrs. hales walks around mrs. wright’s home, she notices that the kitchen is in disarray as if she was in the middle of baking bread (glaspell).
