question #2
instructions for student
read the question carefully and select the best answer.

the main text is written in the ________ tense, from a(n) ________ point of view.
a. present; first person
b. present; third person
c. past; first person
d. past; third person

Explanation:

Question 1

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Visualizing goals is not related to a batter's action in a quarter - second.
• Option B: Wearing special glasses is not a typical action a batter does within a quarter - second during a pitch.
• Option C: A batter needs to see the pitch, judge its speed, and decide when to swing quickly (within a quarter of a second) to hit the ball.
• Option D: Measuring speed is more precise than what a batter does; they judge speed, not measure it in a strict sense, and also need to decide when to swing. So Option C is the best.

We consider tense and point of view:

• For tense, if the text is about a batter's action (like in the first question), it's likely in present tense as it describes a general action.
• For point of view, when talking about a batter (using "they"), it's third - person (not first - person as first - person uses "I/we"). So the text is in present tense and third - person point of view.

Answer:

C. They must see the pitch, judge its speed, and decide when to swing.
