How should the underlined words be written so that sentence 2 has the right
tone?
O A. Were totally useful
B. Had great value
C. Had a ton of uses
D. Were way important

B. Had great value

Explanation:

The words that are underlined in sentence 2 are were really cool. This type of language, which we usually use in everyday conversations with our friends, isn't used in informational texts, i.e. texts that give us information about a certain topic. Instead, we should use more formal language. The best substitute would be the words had great value.

Option A is incorrect because it also contains informal language (totally useful - very useful would be better).

Option C also isn't formal enough (had a ton of uses - had many uses is a better version).

Option D is incorrect because the given combination of words isn't correct. Something can't be way important. It can just be very important.

This is why option B is correct.

explanation:

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
