Read these paragraphs, noting the change of focus. carol harris had been sitting by the telephone all day. her hopes grew dimmer and dimmer. she had refused to eat, could not concentrate on the book she was pretending to read, and would not speak to anyone in the family. her mother tried to be patient and understanding because she knew how much carol wanted to be asked to go to the conference to represent her class. they also knew that the faculty members were, at that very moment, discussing whether to choose carol, who was class vice-president, or sharon, who was class secretary. both girls were well qualified and deserved the award. the harrises hoped that their daughter, who had worked so hard for this honor, would be chosen. no smiles were seen in the harris household. all their nerves were stretched as taut as the tight wires in the circus tent. everyone jumped when the telephone rang, and no one could move to answer it for a moment. then carol, her heart racing, picked up the receiver and whispered, "hello. this is carol speaking." her parents strained toward her, their eyes as anxious as carol's. "oh, you. you." she cried. she whirled from the phone, her eyes danced, a brilliant smile brightened her face. "they chose me, mom, dad. they chose me." the oppressive, gray gloom lifted, and the room was bathed in sunlight as the three harrises hugged each other and cried, "whoopee! " the primary change is a change of idea time place mood

Asap i will give brainliest to the first correct answer (1) wayne gretzky once said, “you’ll always miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” (2) life would be dull and boring if no one took risks. (3) many people have accomplished astonishing things because they took a risk. (4) in other words, my mind is set on the belief that it’s worthwhile to take risks. (5) one reason to take a risk is that you can learn from your mistakes, and that allows you to accomplish your goal correctly the next time. (6) for instance, the wright brothers dreamed of being able to fly. (7) they decided to invent the airplane. (8) certainly, they weren’t able to construct it perfectly the first time, so they took a risk and kept trying until they finally got it right. (9) because they learned from their mistakes, that encouraged them to continue to work hard and succeed at inventing one of todays most convenient inventions, the airplane. (10) another reason to take risks is that you can form relationships. (11) a good example of this is the play, “novio boy” by gary soto. (12) rudy, the main character, asks patricia, his crush, to go on a date with him. (13) he took a risk because she is older than him, and rudy wasn’t sure of what she would say. (14) fortunately, patricia agreed to go out with him. (15) therefore, taking risks can be positive and you form relationships. (16) in conclusion, you never know what you are capable of until you take a risk. (17) there could be many motives that could make you want to take a risk. (18) the result could turn out to be either good or bad. (19) despite the consequences, you never know what you could achieve before you take the risk. what change, if any, is needed in sentence 1? question 1 options: a) delete the comma after said b) change you'll to you'll c) change always to allways d) make no change
