Answer:
The tomatoes look ripe, the peppers are not ready to pick yet.

"The tomatoes look ripe, the peppers are not ready to pick yet" is a sentence that contains the comma splice. Thus, option second is correct.
What is Comma Splice?A comma splice is a type of run-on whereby two independent clauses—or complete sentences—are incorrectly joined by a comma. A comma splice is a type of comma error that occurs when you use a comma to combine two separate clauses.
If you start a sentence with a dependent clause, you must separate the dependent and independent clauses with a comma. The inverse is not true.
"The tomatoes appear ripe, but the peppers are not yet ready to pluck," is a phrase with a comma splice. The comma should be replaced by a semicolon. As a result, option two is correct.

“Mary clanged two glasses together, rudely interrupting the conversations going on around her. But why should she care? She was clearly the most interesting person in the room. Once she had the attention of the room, she rose slowly from her seat flaunting her new dress and making sure everyone could see her overly showy jewelry. She stood as still as a statue with all eyes on her. She finally simply said ‘thank you for coming,’ her words biting the ears of all who heard them. She then sat down satisfied with her actions.” What is the author’s tone towards Mary?
A. She is elegant
B. She is beautiful
C. She is depressing
D. She is snobbish
Answer:
The correct answer is Snobbish (even though it sounds marshian)
Explanation:
Because she is Snobbish and acts like she is Snobbish.
Hope this helps....
Have a nice day!!!!
Answer:
The best answer is most likely "D"
Explanation:
"rudely", "overly showy", and "biting the ears of all who heard them" aren't things the author would say or mention if she were "elegant" or "beautiful". This doesn't seem to portray her as a depressing person either.
The clanging of the two glasses together make her seem entitled (since it only shows that the believes that what she has to say is much more important than other peoples' conversations). The overly showy jewelry probably means she wants to seem above everyone else in some way, which is the definition of a snob.

In The House on Mango Street Sandra Cisneros uses simile to enrich the reader's experience. Which of the following offers the best example of this? A. Esperanza finds it strange that the very people who she thinks should be nice to her, are not. B. The author wishes her name was Alexis or Maritza. C. Esperanza likens her sister's laughter to the sound of a pile of dishes breaking. D. The author and Rachel joke about the fat lady in the street.
The correct answer is C. Esperanza likens her sister's laughter to the sound of a pile of dishes breaking.
Explanation:
Simile is a common figure of speech, which allows authors to explain an idea by using comparison. This occurs if the speaker compares two objects, people, ideas, etc. by using words such as "like" or "as". In this context, the one that is an example of a simile in The House on Mango Street is "Esperanza likens her sister's laughter to the sound of a pile of dishes breaking" because if Esperanza says her sister's laughter is like/as the sound of a pile of dishes breaking, the author is using comparison to better explain an idea, which is the sound of a laugh. Moreover, the word likens suggest an explicit word for comparison was used.

‘For song, issuing from its birth-place, after fulfillment, wandering Reck'd or unreck'd, duly with love returns' a) Why are the last lines put within brackets? b) ‘Reck'd or unreck'd', what does this phrase mean? c) Where does the song return?
Answer:
Explanation:
a)
the last lines are put in a bracket because they do not make the thoughts of the poet, and neither do they make the voice of the rain. What they contain, is the observation that the poet made as regards the course the poem is taking.
b)
reck'd or unreck'd means that whether or not you cared for the sound of the rains, if someone listened to the sound made by the rain, if someone didn't listen, whatever the case may be, it does not affect the rains and neither does it affects the poet.

) Intro
Answer:
the ability to think,
water and land,
fire, sun and air,
people and animals
Explanation:
From the exerpt, the narrator described how the earth was without form and void and how hunger and death covered everywhere then he thought to himself, "let me have a self", then created the mind which explains the ability to think.
Furthermore, he created water and land, then divided himself into three parts: fire, sun and air. He went further to split himself into two matching parts and formed husband and wife, then the wife changed to a cow, he changed to a bull and their union brought cows, which explains the myth of people and animals.
1. Is this an example of an independent or dependent clause? “my mom is picking me up after school” independent clause dependent clause 2. Is this an example of an independent or dependent clause? “wherever you want to eat” independent clause dependent clause 3. This sentence has an independent and dependent clause. Is it punctuated correctly? Though I hate beans, I love eating chili. Yes No Not enough info given
Answer:
1: Independent clause
2: Dependent clause
3: Yes, it is punctuated correctly
Explanation:
An independent clause is a bunch of words that can work on its own as a sentence. It is called "independent" because it works on its own. For example, "Jacob walked down the street."
A dependent clause is extra background information that can be added on to an independent clause, but it can't work on its own as a sentence. That is why it is called "dependent," because it depends on the independent clause. For example, "when the bell struck 9." This doesn't make sense on its own, but when you add it to the dependent clause, you get "Jacob walked down the street when the bell struck 9."
Usually to add a dependent clause to an independent clause you use a comma to separate them. A comma is only used when the dependent clause goes before the independent one.
If you look at question 3, see each part of the sentence before and after the comma. Which part can stand on its own as a sentence and which part does not work on its own? The first part "though I hate beans" is dependent while the second part "I love eating chili" is the independent clause.
Answer: Yes it’s both dependent and independent.
