Read the excerpt below from the article “aprons” from the ladies’ work-table book and answer the question that follows. we now proceed to lay down what we hope will be found clear though concise rules, for the preparation of various articles of dress and attire. aprons.—these are made of a variety of materials, and are applied to various uses. the aprons used for common purposes, are made of white, blue, brown, checked, and sometimes of black linen; nankeen, stuff, and print, are also employed. the width is generally one breadth of the material, and the length is regulated by the height of the wearer. dress aprons are, of course, made of[39] finer materials—cambric, muslin, silk, satin, lace, clear and other kinds of muslin, & c., and are generally two breadths in width, one of which is cut in two, so as to throw a seam on each side, and leave an entire breadth for the middle. aprons of all kinds are straight, and either plaited or gathered on to the band or stock at the top. those with only one breadth, are hemmed at the bottom with a broad hem; those with two breadths, must be hemmed at the sides likewise. the band should be from half a nail to a nail broad; its length is to be determined by the waist of the wearer. it should be fastened at the back, with hooks and eyelet holes. to some aprons, pockets are attached, which are either sewed on in front, or at the back, and a slit made in the apron to correspond with them. the slit, or opening of the pocket is to be hemmed neatly, or braided, as may be most desirable. in some kinds of aprons, bibs are introduced, which are useful to cover the upper part of the dress. their size must be determined by the taste of the person who is to wear them. source: “plain needlework: instructions in the preparation of body linen.” the ladies’ work-table book. new york: j. winchester, 1844. project gutenberg web. 1 aug. 2009. these instructions appear in a book written in 1844. what could be done to make these instructions easier to follow? i. including visuals ii. numbering the steps iii. using common language i only ii only ii and iii i, ii, and iii

Read the following short excerpt of student writing. use your vocabulary and grammar knowledge to determine which suggestions you would make to improve his or her grammar and word choice. i really thought she loved me but i discovered her grave betrayal one afternoon. it was easy to figure out because she accidentally sent a text to me that was meant for him. i was confused by the text because it said, "don't tell mike." i felt insulted that she thought she could get away with this infidelity. at first i felt very angry bitter and hateful but then i felt so hopeless and depressed. i longed for her to call me. i thought if i could just hear her pleasing voice, maybe then i would not be filled with such bitterness. instead of calling her i talked to another friend who is good at listening and feeling my pain. talking with her makes me feel euphoric. i think i may be on the road to recovery.what word would you suggest to replace the underlined word or words in this excerpt? instead of calling her, i talked to another friend who is (good at listening and feeling my pain). talking with her makes me feel euphoric. amorous sentimental empathetic grave
