GIVING BRAINLIEST AND 200 POINTS PLEASE HELP URGENT ONLY 5 QUESTIONS

(1) “Come on. (2) Don’t be a baby,” Brandy taunted as I stood facing the Spin-Out, the scariest and most fastest ride at the carnival. (3) My heart sank as I muttered, “It can’t be that bad….” (4) At that moment, a thought popped into my head that caused me to become hesitant and scared. (5) “If I don’t do it, she’ll make fun of me for the rest of my life.” (6) There was no way I was going to allow that to happen. (7) My hands started to shake like maracas, and I gulped down my fear. (8) I push Brandy aside dramatically and stated, “I’m going to do it. (9) I’m going to ride the Spin-Out.”

(10) As I trudged towards my seat, I could feel my palms getting sweaty and my heart starting to race. (11) I climbed in and buckled up. (12) My heart felt like it was going to beat right out of my chest. (13) I peered out of the corner of my eye and saw the man push the button on the machine. (14) Before I knew it, I was being lifted off my feet. (15) “Don’t look down. (16) It’s a long way to the ground,” I muttered to myself. (17) I closed my eyes clutched my hands tightly to the metal bar, and took a deep breath. (18) When I opened my eyes, I was upside down! (19) My heart sank, and I started to shriek. (20) I was spinning faster and faster with every breath I took. (21) After a while, the ride started to gradually slow down, and then it finally came to a stop. (22) As I took my first steps off the ride, I could barely walk without stumbling.

(23) My head was spinning, but I couldn’t get my mind off the fact that I did it! (24) All around me people were laughing. (25) I didn’t even notice. (26) I was too caught up in the fact that I actually rode the Spin-Out. (27) “I’m not such a baby now, huh?” I boasted to Brandy while smiling. (28) As we continued to walk through the carnival, my smile grew even bigger. (29) These few moments will forever be in my mind because I faced my fear and conquered it. (30) I proved to myself and Brandy that I was not scared of a little carnival ride.

B)After sentence 13
C)After sentence 14

(2) Don’t be a baby,” Brandy taunted as I stood facing the Spin-Out, the scariest and most fastest ride at the carnival. You can remove most, because fastest is already the correct superlative form. It is not correct to use double superlative.

Question 2

B) Change push to pushed.

(8) I push Brandy aside dramatically and stated, “I’m going to do it. In this sentence the action finished, so the verb must be in simple past.

Question 3

A)Insert a comma after eyes.

(17) I closed my eyes clutched my hands tightly to the metal bar, and took a deep breath. A comma is needed when you have a serie of actions and is best placed between verbs that indicated different actions.

Question 4

D)All around me people were laughing, but I didn't even notice.

(24) All around me people were laughing. (25) I didn’t even notice. In this case with a coordinating conjunction you can use a comma between the independent clauses because the coordinating conjunction is not ommited.

Question 5

C)After sentence 14

(14) Before I knew it, I was being lifted off my feet. [As we went up, my heart jumped into my throat.] Following the events sequence this option would be the correct.

Answer:

1. Delete the word most

The adjective fastest is in its superlative form already. One syllable adjective add the suffix -est to create the superlative. Adjectives with three or more syllables form their superlatives by adding the word 'most' or 'least' in front of the adjective

2. Change push to pushed

The action has occurred already, hence, the verb should be in the past tense

3. Insert a comma after eyes

On line 17, there are a series of different actions following each other. A comma should be added after each action to separate them

4. All around me people were laughing, but I didn't even notice

You use a but to combine the clauses of a compound sentence.

5. After sentence 14

Before I knew it, I was being lifted off my feet. [As we went up, my heart jumped into my throat.]. "Don't look down".

The next sentence here, "don't look down" shows that they were ascending
