Which sentence below shows correct use of an em dash?
a. He didn't hear the doorbell broken - since last week when - the delivery person arrived. b. He didn't hear the door-bell broken since last-week when the delivery-person arrived. c. He didn't hear the doorbell-broken since last week-when the delivery person arrived. d. He didn't hear the door-bell broken since last week - when the delivery person arrived
Final answer:
The correct em dash usage is when it sets off an abrupt change or additional thought within a sentence. None of the given options use the em dash correctly. Commas should be used to separate independent clauses, after introductory elements, and in lists.
Explanation:
The correct use of an em dash in the given options is none of the above. The em dash should be used without spaces on either side to set off a part of the sentence that is an abrupt change in thought or as an additional thought, not to replace missing words or to connect hyphenated words that aren't compound modifiers. An example of correct usage would be: 'He didn't hear the doorbell—since it was broken—when the delivery person arrived.' In this sentence, the em dashes are used correctly to add additional information within the sentence.
Now, regarding the review questions, here is how you correctly use commas within them:
I finally found my keys, and I got to work just in time. (Comma before the conjunction 'and' that connects two independent clauses.)
Mrs. Contreras threw out her old coffee table and cleaned the carpet. (No comma needed because there is no independent clause following 'and.')
Taking the elevator to the roof, we hoped we could see the skyline and the bay. (Comma after the introductory phrase and no comma before 'and' since it connects two objects of the sentence.)
Though Susan wasn't feeling well, she went to the store anyway and bought ice cream, pizza, and candy. (Comma after the dependent introductory clause and commas in the series.)
I let my neighbor borrow my phone because she said hers was tapped by the police. (No comma is needed as the clause 'because she said hers was tapped by the police' is essential to the meaning of the sentence.)

Read this quote from Zimmermann in The Code Book.
In the past, if the government wanted to violate the privacy of ordinary citizens, it had to expend a certain amount of effort to intercept and steam open and read paper mail, or listen to and possibly transcribe spoken telephone conversations. This is analogous to catching fish with a hook and a line, one fish at a time. Fortunately for freedom and democracy, this kind of labor-intensive monitoring is not practical on a large scale. Today, electronic mail is gradually replacing conventional paper mail, and is soon to be the norm for everyone, not the novelty it is today. Unlike paper mail, e-mail messages are just too easy to intercept and scan for interesting keywords. This can be done easily, routinely, automatically, and undetectably on a grand scale. This is analogous to driftnet fishing—making a quantitative and qualitative Orwellian difference to the health of democracy.
What is the purpose of the quote from Zimmermann?
It explains how much faster e-mail travels than ordinary mail.
It shows how easily digital mail can be monitored by outsiders.
It states exactly how many people use e-mail instead of regular mail.
It proves that e-mail is better for the health of democracy than regular mail.
Answer:

Which of the following is an example of an emotional appeal?
A. Many organizations have offered recommendations.
B. It will have global impact in the near future.
C. It will be the greatest environmental tragedy.
D. More than 90 percent of the scientists agreed that it is probable.
The correct answer is C. It will be the greatest environmental tragedy.
Explanation:
When a speaker uses an emotional appeal he/she focuses on using words that will have an emotional impact on the audience or referring to situations that are related to emotions either positive or negative ones. This appeal can be seen in "It will be the greatest environmental tragedy" because it is likely the use of the words "greatest... tragedy" has an emotional impact on the audience considering these words are related to negative feelings such as regret, fear, and apprehension. As a result, this phrase causes the audience to feel in a certain way and believe the words of the speaker.

Question 1:
Franklin Roosevelt's "State of the Union Address, 1941," excerpt
"That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
To that new order we oppose the greater conception-the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear."

No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation.
If the Congress maintains these principles, the voters, putting patriotism ahead of pocketbooks, will give you their applause."

From what point of view is The Alchemist written and why?
Final answer:
The Alchemist is written from a third-person omniscient point of view, with a narrator who can reveal the thoughts and actions of all characters, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the narrative.
Explanation:
The Alchemist, a novel by Paulo Coelho, is written from a third-person omniscient point of view. This means that the narrator is not a character in the story and provides a detached perspective, using 'he/she/they' when referring to characters. The third-person omniscient narrator has the capability to reveal what all the characters are thinking, feeling, and doing throughout the novel, without being bound to any one character's perspective or knowledge.
This point of view is chosen for its ability to explore the inner thoughts and feelings of multiple characters, which enhances the storytelling by allowing the reader to understand the characters' motivations and challenges. Additionally, it enables the author to weave together various narrative strands and themes, such as love, loss, and the pursuit of one's personal legend, which are central to the novel's message.

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.
On several occasions Room 40 received an unexpected but welcome gift when a German codebook was recovered after a sea battle and presented to the British code breakers. One such gift was a codebook from the German ship Magdeburg, a light cruiser that ran aground on an island off of Finland. When Russian ships quickly bore down on the cruiser, the captain of the stranded ship immediately did what all naval officers were taught to do: he ordered his signalman to bring him the ship's codebook so he could throw the book, wrapped in lead covers, into the sea. But before the signalman could deliver the book to his captain, he was killed by Russian guns. When the Russians recovered his body, the sailor was still clutching the codebook in his arms.
