1. Obviously, the most in my QRG is Active verbs that are more general. There are still a good amount, however, of specific active verbs. Based on what I've analyzed I think it's more important for the verbs to be more specific and very unique for each sentence because it makes the QRG more interesting an overall exciting story which it the point of the assignment. There still needs to be a balance with general verb as well, but overall I think the verbs should try to be as exciting as possible throughout.

2. I could definitely change some of my more general verbs into more specific verbs throughout the whole project. For example, my sentence for a general verb is "he stood in front of the PetSmart" . I could change the verb to "he planted his feet in front of the PetSmart" making the sentence more exciting, conveying the importance of standing in front of the PetSmart.
