Read this before answering! from the time when i could remember anything, i had been called simply “booker.” before going to school it had never occurred to me that it was needful or appropriate to have an additional name. when i heard the school-roll called, i noticed that all of the children had at least two names, and some of them indulged in what seemed to me the extravagance of having three. i was in deep perplexity, because i knew that the teacher would demand of me at least two names, and i had only one. by the time the occasion came for the enrolling of my name, an idea occurred to me which i thought would make me equal to the situation; and so, when the teacher asked me what my full name was, i calmly told him “booker washington,” as if i had been called by that name all my life; and by that name i have since been known. later in my life i found that my mother had given me the name of “booker taliaferro” soon after i was born, but in some way that part of my name seemed to disappear and for a long while was forgotten, but as soon as i found out about it i revived it, and made my full name “booker taliaferro washington.” i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i have. which of these best defines the form of this passage? a. persuasive speech b. expository essay c. autobiographical narrative d. biography

Read this student's rough draft. i know it doesn't sound like much, but am psyched about the school fundraiser this spring. we are sponsoring a slam-dunk contest (on an eight-foot rim) for local middle schoolers. we're charging an entry fee for participants that will cover our costs, and we’ll charge admission at the door! three dollars per person—ka-ching! six of my neighbors have already said they are coming. i mean, who wouldn't come? participants will wear their school jerseys, and all their friends will come to cheer! which concluding sentence best reflects the writer's voice? the contest will take place in the liberty middle school gym, and the maximum capacity is 250 spectators. the contest promises to enrich our community as a variety of schools unite to support our fundraising effort. it will be sweet, because the band is providing music in the stands, and the dance squad is performing. students’ enthusiasm for this endeavor has blossomed, and it will reach full flower as the contest approaches
