Which of the following sentences correctly uses a semicolon?
I was not afraid of the dark; but I didn't like being out in the dark, either.
I had gone for a long run during the day, my legs; however, were not tired.
No one showed up for the after school program still; we had a good time.
The park was closed; therefore, we decided to play soccer in my backyard instead.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - The park was closed; therefore, we decided to play soccer in my backyard instead.

Explanation:

Let’s go through the process of elimination to get to the correct option.

A) Is not correct because the conjunction BUT requires a comma, not a semicolon.

B) Is not correct because the semicolon here doesn’t make sense because of the order of words in the sentence. If the sentence said: I had gone for a long run during the day; however, my legs were not tired - then the semicolon would be correct.

C) Is not correct because the semicolon should come before the word STILL, not after it.

D) Is the correct answer as the semicolon is properly used to separate two independent sentences.

Why some people agree with “ where there is no law , there is no freedom” ? Explain

Answers

laws by definition  is commonly understood as a system of rules that are created and enforced through social or governmental institutions to regulate conduct, therefore it sets a certian standard of the freedom that a person can have. with out laws that freedom goes unchecked and as history shows us, no place can function properly without a couple rules in place. unchecked freedom is just as dangerous as no freedom because without they both damage the stability of a place or region. some people agree that "where there is no law, there is no freedom" because the law allows people to appreciate freedom in the first place.

The narrator in The Canterbury Tales, says he plans to "give account of all their words and dealings, / Using their very phrases as
they fell." For which kind of characterization would an author provide such details?
a. direct characterization
C. direct and indirect characterization
b. indirect characterization
d. dramatic characterization

Answers

The correct answer is B. Indirect characterization

Explanation:

When authors use indirect characterization they only explain the actions, words, and general behavior of characters to show the reader how the characters are, rather than directly describing the characters from their perspective (direct characterization). According to this, the narrator of The Canterbury tells will use indirect characterization because he will only explain the "words and dealings" of the characters through the characters "very phrases as  they fell", which shows the narrator will not describe the characters directly but let their words and actions show how they are.

Answers

Answer:

Our account manager, Amanda, graduated from college in 1997.

Have you seen Brian? No one seems to know where he is.

You can copy that section by highlighting the corresponding text box icon in the left frame of the document editor or by selecting the text box itself

His office is much cleaner than hers.

The new receptionist seems as if she is well qualified.

Explanation:

First, let's take:

Our account manager, Amanda, ____________in 1997

The options for this question are "graduated college" and "graduated from college"

In this case, the preposition "from" makes the sentence more clear since people "graduates from highschool/college" etc. Thus, the correct answer would be "our account manager, Amanda, graduated from college in 1997"

Have you seen Brian? No one seems to know where he ____________.

The options are "is" and "is at"

We can see that "at" is a preposition, prepositions are used to connect nouns and pronouns, however, when at the end of a sentence we should only use them when it's necessary, for example, in phrasal verbs. In this case we don't have a phrasal verb, thus the correct option is "Have you seen Brian? No one seems to know where he is"

You can copy that section by highlighting the corresponding text box icon in the left frame of the document editor or selecting the text box itself .

You can copy that section by highlighting the corresponding text box icon in the left frame of the document editor or by selecting the text box itself.

As we said before, prepositions are used to connect nouns and pronouns and they also help to make sentences clearer, in this case, the second option is clearer since they added the "by" in "by selecting the text box itself"

Therefore, the correct answer is "You can copy that section by highlighting the corresponding text box icon in the left frame of the document editor or by selecting the text box itself"

His office is much cleaner than hers.

His office is much cleaner then hers.

When we compare two different things, we need to use "than" to make the comparison between them. In this example we are comparing two offices, one that is cleaner than the other, Therefore the correct answer is "his office is much cleaner than hers"

The new receptionist seems like she is well qualified.

The new receptionist seems as if she is well qualified.

In this example, both options are right from a grammar point of view, however, the use of "as if" is a more formal way of saying things and we use it when we are not certain about something or we don't know if something is true for sure. Thus, the most formal and clearer option would be:

The new receptionist seems as if she is well qualified.

5. This story has a significant emotional crisis and a brutal physical climax. A) Define the crisis and

the climax of the story. B) Explain how the author uses suspense to lead to both plot events.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about the short story "The Wife's Story", by Ursula K. le Guin.

5. This story has a significant emotional crisis and a brutal physical climax. A) Define the crisis and  the climax of the story.

The story is told from the perspective of a werewolf. This female narrates how strange her beloved husband has become over time, and how others from her community have told her there was something in his blood that he inherited from his father. She does not know what it is, and she loves him too much to ask.

The emotional crisis comes when she realizes her husband transforms into a human from time to time, when there is no moon. The climax comes immediately afterward, when she, her sister, and others from the community chase him down to kill him. It is the narrator's sister that does it.

B) Explain how the author uses suspense to lead to both plot events.

The author limits our perception and knowledge when she chooses to narrate the story from a first-person perspective. Not only that, but suspense is skillfully used. The narrator reveals information little by little, at first tricking us into thinking they are all humans. Slowly, she talks of them all sleeping during the day while her husband goes "hunting" in broad daylight. She smells something different in him when comes back from those hunting trips, and even her daughter reacts to his presence with fear. Then she describes his transformation, how all of his hair disappears. She finally calls him a man. All this time, she toyed with us readers, leading us to believe this is a werewolf story when, in reality, it is a "werewolf's story", an inversion to the myth. The wolf who becomes a man is cursed, not the man who becomes a wolf. But she takes her time, confusing readers, building the suspense.

In any academic paper, the pattern and correct citation of sources is a must for academicians. It is this simple yet complicated method that enables the readers to know whether the paper is worth reading and whether it has solid proof of sources or is just a 'hypothetical' paper without much sources to validate it.

Among the options given for an in-text citation for an encyclopedia, the correct way of putting the in-text citation is to put the name/ title of the book followed by the year of publication and then the page number. And considering our given options, the year is not provided so that will be omitted. In that case, the correct answer will be "the title" and then the page number. Thus, "Herbivore" p. 14 is the correct answer.

Answer:

D. ("Herbivore" 14).

Explanation:

Hi, the person above is incorrect regarding MLA format.  In a parenthetical citation for MLA format, there is no "p" for page number.  It is simply the page number and/or author's surname.  If there is no author, it is an abbreviation of the work's title in quotation marks, just like above.

Hope this helps.

PS.  There are no commas in a parenthetical citation either for MLA format.

Answers

Answer:

1. /p/ [voiceless stops]

2. /t/ [voiceless stops]

3. /k/ [voiceless stops]

 /p/, /t/, /k/ are consonant sounds which have voiceless stops. These sounds are also aspirated at the beginning of words- i.e when pronounced, there is usually a forceful expulsion of air in words like "top", "tap", "kill", etc.

When the sounds are used at the end of words or joined with some consonants, they are not aspirated e.g drop, stop, etc.

4. /m/ [nasal stops]

When pronouncing nasal stops, the velum usually lowers to allow a free flow of air from the nose.

Examples of words that have nasal stops are:

"mouth", "mud", etc.

the problem of clutter?
20 marks​

Answers

As shown in the question above, we are bombarded with advertisements when we watch TV, the problem with all of this is that the advertisements are of the most varied we have, which can leave us tired and sadly confused, as a result, we usually do not pay attention to these advertisements and probably we will not look for the advertised products. However, advertisers continue to look for TV stations to advertise their products, the reasons for this are probably:

TV is still a strong communication vehicle. TV is a device present in almost all houses, which facilitates the visualization of the advertisement. TV is unable to filter the interests of its owner to display only advertisements that may interest him. Broadcasters profit a lot from different ads.

As already shown above, this confusion of ads can be harmful to the advertiser, to reduce this problem, the advertiser can choose to:

Invest more in online ads, than in ads on TV stations. Make ads with a cleaner look, but with attractive factors. Charge broadcasters to have their ad displayed with related ads. Hire a strong team that has the ability to make your ad stand out.

What is an effective way to organise text?

Effective organization of text should use headers to break a text into topics, use bullet points to create a list, use bold font for emphasis, and include appropriate amounts of white space to make the text easier to read and navigate.

Leaving too little white space can make the text appear cluttered and overwhelming, making it difficult for the reader to follow the content. Effective use of white space can improve the readability and visual appeal of a text, making it easier for the reader to focus on the main ideas and understand the content.
