A. Correlating
B. Compound
C. Subordinating
D. Coordinating
The correct answer is D. Coordinating

These conjunctions are mainly classified into subordinating conjunction, coordinating conjunction and correlating conjunctions. In the case of coordinating conjunctions these are used in compound sentences or to link ideas with the same importance and include the conjunctions and, so, or, and but that is the conjunction used in the sentence "I have always loved animals, but I am allergic to cats and my sister is allergic to dogs" to link two ideas of the same importance that are "I have always loved animals" and "I am allergic to cats and my sister is allergic to dogs". Therefore, the type of conjunction, in this case, is a coordinating conjunction.
In travel writing, how can writers best give their readers a sense of the “place” they are writing about?
A.) by describing places that their target readers will be familiar with
B.) by describing exotic locales only
C.) by giving a lot of statistics and information about the place
D.) by using imaginative and descriptive language
Answer:
D.) by using imaginative and descriptive language.
Explanation:
Travel writing, that is to say, writing whose focus is the places, culture, peoples, that a writer witnesses during a trip, is in fact a form of writing that many famous authors, such as Stendhal in his wonderful The charterhouse of Parma, explore with great genius. As Stendhal does, it would be advisable that any writer who wishes to explore this form of narrative make use of imaginative and descriptive language in order to make the reader become familiarized with what would be otherwise exotic and perhaps incomprehensible. This is undoubtedly the best way to make the reader gain a sense of the place he or she is reading about.

Which sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause that is punctuated correctly?
My boss—who was recently promoted again is great at motivating her employees.
My boss, who was recently promoted again, is great at motivating her employees.
My boss who was recently promoted again—is great at motivating her employees.
My boss, who was recently promoted again is great at motivating, her employees.
Answer: My boss, who was recently promoted again, is great at motivating her employees.
Explanation: A nonrestrictive clause is always surrounded by punctuation marks (commas, parentheses or dashes) to clearly define the information that could be removed from the sentence without altering its meaning. The dashes in options 1 and 3 combined would also make a correct sentence, but not on their own. In the last option, the second comma is wrong for two reasons: it is outside of the relative clause and it is separating the verb motivating from the object her employees.
Answer:
B.My boss, who was recently promoted again, is great at motivating her employees.Explanation:

what is the answer?
for this question
Your work placement is at a bank. You have access to people’s personal accounts. You are aware that a particular neighbour has an account of over $10,000. Your discussion at the dinner table with your parents results from a discussion regarding the payment of a bordering fence in which the neighbour is unwilling to pay their share due to lack of funds.
The confidential issue: (what is it you need to keep secret or private?)
Ethical Dilemma: (what is it you have to decide to do or not to do?)
Your response:
(what would you decide to do and why?)
(why do you think this is a good decision?)
In a situation where you have access to confidential financial information about a neighbor at your bank job, it is crucial to maintain confidentiality and not disclose this information in personal disputes, such as payment for a bordering fence. Doing so upholds legal and ethical standards, maintains trust, and avoids potential negative consequences.
The confidential issue in the scenario is that, as an employee of a bank, you have access to personal financial information, specifically, your neighbor's account balance, which is confidential. This information must be kept private and not shared with others.
The ethical dilemma involves whether to disclose the confidential financial information you have about the neighbor at the dinner table, given that it contradicts their claim of being unable to contribute to the cost of the bordering fence due to lack of funds.
Regarding my response, I would choose to maintain confidentiality and not reveal the neighbor's account details. This decision is supported by professional ethical standards that mandate the protection of client confidentiality. This aligns with legal obligations and the bank's policies, maintaining trust in the banking system and safeguarding the personal information of clients. Disclosing this information might offer short-term satisfaction regarding the fence payment dispute, but it could lead to loss of employment, legal consequences, and erode trust among clients.
In line with professional integrity, the competing obligations are to maintain client privacy while also feeling pressure to reveal information that could be seen as relevant to a personal matter. However, respecting client confidentiality is paramount and non-negotiable.

what is the diffrence between fabels and fairyttales
Final answer:
Fables are short stories with animals as characters that teach moral lessons, while fairytales are folk tales with magical elements meant to entertain.
Explanation:
The difference between fables and fairytales lies primarily in their structure, purpose, and characters. Fables are short stories that typically feature animals as characters and impart a moral lesson. They are considered didactic literature since they are intended to teach a lesson to the reader. A famous collection of fables is Aesop's Fables, where each story concludes with a moral such as 'even the smallest animals serve a mighty purpose.' Fairytales, on the other hand, are a form of folk tale that often involve magical or fantastical elements. They may include witches, dragons, and quests, serving more to entertain than to teach. An iconic example of fairy tale collectors is the Brothers Grimm, who were philologists that collected and published a wide array of German folk tales which became world-renowned, many through film adaptations.
Read the following excerpt and answer the question that follows. Abridged from Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York, of a good family, though not of that country, my father being a foreigner of Bremen, who settled first at Hull. He got a good estate by merchandise, and leaving off his trade, lived afterwards at York, from whence he had married my mother, whose relations were named Robinson, a very good family in that country, and from whom I was called Robinson Kreutznaer; but, by the usual corruption of words in England, we are now called - nay we call ourselves and write our name - Crusoe; and so my companions always called me. What does the historical context of the writing demonstrate or tell you? In that time, it was important to know where a person's family was from. In that time, it was important to lie about the true spelling of your name. In that time, it was important to avoid using a woman's family name. In that time, it was important to write novels about genealogy and history.
Answer:
In that time, it was important to know where a person's family was from.
Explanation:
The author gives an explanation about the place he was born, who was his family and where they came from which shows the importance it was given at that time to a person's family origins. Because of that the historical context of the writing tells me that at that moment, it was important to know where a person's family was from.

Which best describes the effect of this narration? A)It introduces the reader to the man being executed, Farquhar. B)It describes why Farquhar is being punished. C)It helps the reader understand Farquhar’s motivation for escaping. D)It tricks the reader into thinking that Farquhar survives.
Answer: A
Explanation:
100% on edge
The narration tricks readers into thinking Farquhar survives, exemplifying unreliable narration, which serves to make the story more compelling by causing readers to question the narrative's trustworthiness.
Explanation:The effect of the narration that tricks the reader into thinking that Farquhar survives best describes the impact of the narratorial perspective in the story. When the text says, "Suppose a man—a civilian and student of hanging—should elude the picket post and perhaps get the better of the sentinel," it suggests a situation wherein Farquhar might escape his fate. However, this is a narrative misdirection meant to engage the reader and create an unexpected twist that reveals Farquhar did not actually survive his execution. This technique is known as unreliable narration and serves to make the story more compelling and thought-provoking by encouraging readers to question the trustworthiness of the narrator and the narrative itself.
Let Me Not to the Marriage of True Minds" is an example of which type of poem? A. Narrative B. Discursive C. Descriptive D. Dramatic
BE Move with the times with cheer that styles, Yield not the sad when things turn rough. Play with bold chimes to cast sound smiles, Live poise most glad in moments tough; Ascend with grace in dreamy daze, Charm knows a surge of primal haste; Intuit deep space beyond mere craze, Dance that clear urge of lovely taste. Feel how you feel when pain brings tears, Instruct your heart with passage bold; Etch craft that heals to purge all fear, Stretch precious start as joy takes hold; Thought and word fund the deed you set, Apt arc of pun sparks a grand bet.

The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over the down, walking from Bramblehurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand.
In this first sentence from the passage, the author MOST LIKELY uses the words biting and driving rather than cold and heavy
A) to explain why the stranger had arrived in the town.
B) to increase interest to the opening sentence of the passage.
C) to show how difficult it was for the stranger to walk in the snow.
D) to convey the feeling of the freezing harshness of the winter weather.
Answer:
I too believe the best option to be letter D) to convey the feeling of the freezing harshness of the winter weather.
Explanation:
This excerpt was taken from "The Invisible Man", written by author H.G. Wells. It is common for writers to use figurative language instead of making direct statements when they wish to describe something or someone. In this case, Wells chose to attribute characteristics to the wind and to the snow of the wintry day. The adjective he chose to describe the wind is "biting". The author wishes us to feel the harshness of the wind, how strong and menacing it is. As for the snow, the adjective employed is "driving". That means the snow is falling rapidily and, as we know, that can be dangerous for someone who is outdoors. We may conclude that the first sentence of the excerpt intends to convey the feeling of the freezing harshness of the winter weather.
