Read the beginning of Divya’s personal narrative, “The Graduation Speech.” “There’s no way I would ever volunteer to be our graduation speaker,” I snapped. Jill [WOL] surprised. “I don’t even like raising my hand in school,” I continued. “Why on earth would I put myself in a position to speak in front of our entire class?” She smiled knowingly. “I think you have a lot to say, Divya, and it’s time to finally let it out. You always give me great advice. Graduation is a major turning point, and everyone will be looking for a little advice and encouragement as they venture into the world. See? You [WOL] the perfect person to give this speech!” Fill in the blanks in order. seemed . . . . were seems . . . . were seemed . . . . are seems . . . . are

Answer:

1. Jill seemed surprised.

2.  You are the perfect person to give this speech!”

Explanation:

In the first blank, the correct word to fill up the sentence is seemed. The word seemed is the past tense of the verb, seem. It is used to indicate something that has the appearance of another. So in the context above, we can interpret this to mean that Jill had the appearance of a person who was surprised.

In the second sentence, the verb are is used to denote the second person singular of the verb to be. In the context of the excerpt above, are shows the quality of being the right person for a job.
