Read the introduction to miguel’s personal narrative, “the baby birds.” i decided to ride my skateboard to school this morning. as i onto bryce road, i saw the parkers’ cat crouched under a tree, hissing at something on the ground. approaching the cat, i noticed that a nest full of tiny birds was on the ground; it must have fallen from a branch. i shooed the cat away and my older stepbrother, a veterinarian, because he would know just how to them. which words correctly fill in the blanks?

turned, called

turned, was calling

turn, calling

turn, call

A: turned, called

Explanation:

 The words turned  and called  correctly fill in the blanks because the narrative is describing an experience that the author had . All the actions must follow the same tense of the verb, having consistency and verb agreement. First he "decided to ride...", and  "As [he] turned onto...{he] saw...noticed..shooed and called." All the verbs express actions in the past.

i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

i do not think they will sing to me

subject: why anyone can be a genius.

occasion: moving forward in life.

audience: average person

purpose: to push you further in life

speaker: many famous geniuses.

here is the poem:

here is thy, and here is thee, genius is for what he can be.

poem is a matter of rhyme, but like ben frank said, life is a matter of time.

we have great inventors such as thomas edison, who said, "genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration." no, no perspiration as what comes from your skeleton.

we have great minds, from places of all kinds, such as yu kaw la chi tie, (now im switching languages because yu kaw was japanese.)

てちハラスイヒイス, てちラスイヒイス

てちのちみスイヒイス.

you are a genius, well not yet, but you are capable, and that is a bet.
