What grammar lessons has Hairwoman been sneaking in?

• A. Punctuation rules
• B. Verb tenses, lively adjectives, and the difference between active and passive voice
• C. Spelling and capitalization
• D. Sentence diagramming

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is recognizing what Hairwoman is teaching. She’s slipping in lessons on verb tenses, lively adjectives, and the difference between active and passive voice. These areas focus on how sentences convey time, description, and who is doing the action. Verb tenses show when things happen, which helps place events in time. Lively adjectives brighten writing and make scenes feel real. The active versus passive voice choice changes whether the subject performs the action or receives it, shaping how direct or indirect a sentence feels. Together, these topics point to a focus on how sentences are constructed and how meaning is conveyed, rather than on punctuation, spelling and capitalization, or sentence diagramming.
