Which sentence below is not properly punctuated? a. She finished her work and then took a long lunch. b. I am typing a letter, and she is talking on the phone. c. Mae said "Why don't you come up and see me sometime?" Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C

Answers

I believe it is C. There should be a comma after said and before the quotations.

Answer:

b. I am typing a letter, and she is talking on the phone.

Explanation:

The statement I am typing a letter, and she is talking on the phone is not properly punctuated and reason being that the comma(,) before the 'and' word should not be there since 'and' already serve as a conjunction and what conjunction does is to combine two statements together in a sentence. The comma that is present there is creating a pause while reading the sentence which is not suppose to be so because the presence of 'and' word there will cause the sentence to be pronounced at once without any pause.

The correct punctuation is - I am typing a letter and she is talking on the phone.

Reread sonnet 30 by william shakespeare. how does the speaker behave and feel in the poem before he thinks of his "dear friend"? how does the thought of his "dear friend" change his attitude? why is the shift that occurs in the speaker's thoughts viewed as a tribute to his "dear friend"? cite specific examples from the text in your response.

Answers

The speaker is very melancholic when he thinks of "things past". "I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought" - he grieves for not having fulfilled the wishes and desires of his youth, that has obviously passed. Many of his friends are now dead. But the thought of his "dear friend" changes his attitude by giving him a new sense of fulfilment, that he has otherwise forgotten. It is a tribute to his friend because it is an immense compensation for all things lost in life.

Question 7 options:

Run-on

Answers

A SIMPLE SENTENCE is a sentence consisting of only 1 clause, with a single subject and predicate.

A COMPOUND SENTENCE is a sentence with more than 1 subject or predicate.

A COMPLEX SENTENCE is a sentence containing a subordinate clause or clauses. 

A RUN-ON SENTENCE is a sentence in which 2 or more independent clauses are joined without an appropriate conjunction or mark of punctuation. 

A SUBJECT of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something.

A PREDICATE of a sentence is the part of the sentence or clause containing a verb and stating something about the subject. 

A CLAUSE is a group of related words that contains both a subject and a verb. 

An INDEPENDENT CLAUSE expresses a complete thought, so it can stand alone. 

A DEPENDENT CLAUSE / SUBORDINATE CLAUSE expresses only a part of a thought, so it can't stand alone. 

This sentence IS a COMPOUND sentence because it has 2 predicates, which is more than 1. Even though it has only 1 subject, it is still a compound sentence.
This sentence is NOT a SIMPLE sentence because it has more than 1 clause. 
This sentence is NOT a COMPLEX sentence because it does not include any subordinate clauses. 
This sentence is NOT a RUN-ON sentence because even though it has 2 clauses, they are joined by a semicolon, which is an appropriate mark of punctuation.

Which parts of Bangkok would not be shown in tourist brochures? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

More often than not, it would be the northwestern regions of Thailand that are not marketed very often and do not show up in the brochures. These would include the regions of the Mae Sot province, Kampheng Phaet and Sukhothai. This is mostly because this area is surrounded by a mountainous region which makes it quite inaccessible to most tourists. Because of this, most people prefer to visit the more crowded and accessible areas of Thailand such as Bangkok.


In which sentence is the underlined clause an adjective clause?

a. In many countries in the world, measles was eradicated (when a vaccine was developed in 1963.)
b. Chicken pox, (which causes bumps on the skin,) can be spread through coughs and sneezes.
c. (Whoever is exposed to parasite-carrying mosquitoes )can contract the disease malaria.
d. Typhoid fever is a disease that spreads (when food or water is infected with deadly bacteria.)

words in parenthesis are the words underlined in the sentence.

Answers

Answer:

The underlined clause is an adjective clause in sentence B.

Explanation:

Sentence b contains a nonessential relative clause. Relative clauses, also called adjective clauses, postmodify nouns and are introduced by relative pronouns. In this case, this nonessential relative clause has been introduced by the pronoun which. The clause is considered nonessential because the information it provides is not necessary to complete the meaning of the sentence. If it was removed, the sentence would still represent a complete thought and have the same meaning (see 1). That is why it is offset from the rest of the sentence with commas.

1) Chicken pox can be spread through coughs and sneezes.  

Answer: In sentence B., the underlined clause is an adjective clause "Chicken pox, (which causes bumps on the skin,) can be spread through coughs and sneezes".

Explanation: An adjective clause is a subordinate clause, that is to say a clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence, which modifies and describes a noun that precedes it. An adjective clause is introduced by a relative pronoun, such as "which" or "that". Among the sentences provided, B. "Chicken pox, (which causes bumps on the skin,) can be spread through coughs and sneezes" is the only one that includes an adjective clause. "Which causes bumps on the skin" is modifying the noun phrase that precedes it ("chicken pox") and providing additional information about it. Moreover, it has been introduced by the relative pronoun "which". In contrast, in A. and D., the underlined clauses are modifying a verb, while in C. the underlined clause is a noun clause.

They show that the Accused are not to be trusted.

They convey that the Accusers were judgmental.

They suggest how carefully the people are tested.

They hint at how guilty the Accused really are.

Answers

The answer to the first question would be "an enormous ornamental bat", it creates a comic tone because of the comparison between a bat and an umbrella and the fact that they can be compared makes it funny, as well as the irony of the phrase since obviously a bat is not ornamental nor is it enormous.

The answer to the second question would be "They convey that the accusers were judgmental", the words search and scrutiny imply that something has to be thoroughly examined or under constant supervision and that is a clear example of a person being judged with or without proof.

it could be A or B they both are related the bill would be easier you can just look up a graph and take the graph and turn it into words 

Answer:

The answer to this question would be A: How a bill becomes a law.

Explanation:

The purpose of a research paper is basically to expose a topic that is of interest and is debatable, that can be proven through the use of data, but also, that needs research in order for it to be accurate. However, one important fact about a research paper is that the topic selected needs to be open enough so that research can be done, but narrow enough that you do not lose yourself in the branches of the multiple subtopics that could come out if the main topic is too broad. As such, a really important strategy for a writer is to take a topic, and select from all the possibilities of that topic, the one smaller issue that he/she would like to debate, and research on. In the options given, except for A, the other options are too broad, and offer too many branches, that could be open for debate and research. This is why the answer is A, because it is a topic of research, but it is narrow enough to avoid unnecessary loss.
