Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This may leave you wondering if you should use a colon or a semicolon to connect two independent clauses. Here's a good rule of thumb. If the two clauses are merely related, not necessarily sequential in thought, use a semicolon. However, if the two related clauses follow a sequence of thought, use a colon.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option B. Pedro summarized the speech; "Serving your country is a noble cause." uses a colon or a semicolon correctly.

What is semicolon?

A Semi-colon(;) and a Colon(:) exist as both punctuation marks utilized in a sentence or phrase. A semi-colon stand is essentially utilized to bring together two independent clauses that are related in a sentence.  It exists used to obtain together complex clauses utilizing coordinating conjunction.

A colon exists as a supporting component in a sentence. It exists used to demonstrate that a sentence observes the other. Colons are utilized to keep apart two independent clauses. It can also be utilized in a sentence having quotations.

Given the above, "Pedro summarized the speech" and "serving your country exists a noble cause" can stand on their own but exist joined by a semi-colon.

Hence, Option B is correct.

(1) Baseball is unique because it is the only sport in America that does not have a time clock—although tennis and


softball are not timed, either. (2) Instead, games last for nine innings, unless there is a tie after the ninth, in which case they go extra innings. (3) Nine-inning games last an average of three hours. (4) Extra innings tack on time to an already long game, but the end is always the most exciting part. (5) Most people in the US watch baseball and are fans of their hometown team.

Which sentence should be revised to eliminate a misconception?

Answers

Answer:

D). Sentence 5

Explanation:

As per the question, the fifth sentence in the given paragraph needs to be revised to remove the misconception as it conveys an opinion('Most people in the US watch...hometown team' without any supporting evidence that may mislead the readers. The first four sentences provide a factual description of the game of baseball, its distinctiveness due to being timeless, and the rules associated with it. While the last sentence goes off-track and displays a belief that the majority population watches baseball and admirers of their respective home teams. Thus, this must be revised as it not only creates a delusion but also breaks the flow of the idea by immediately shifting from facts to general idea. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

He delights in the sounds of warfare and suffering. These two beings rule the world and look after the affairs of men. During the day people have rituals to honor the right-handed twin. At night they dance and sing for the left-handed twin.

According to this excerpt, the two brothers represent

Answers

I think it’s Good and Evil. The right handed twin living in the Sky-World would seem to be a god. Having created the world below. The left handed twin being on earth he delights in the warfare and suffering. The text says, “these two beings rule the world and look after the affairs of men” I think that would mean that the right handed twin having created the world below and the left handed twin being man ruling the world. As men being the human race. The people have rituals meaning praises to god in the sky world in the day but at night they they dance and sing. I think that the left handed man is represented as evil. When you think of night you could think of it as dark, scary and evil. During the day you could think of it as happy and cheerful. I think the two brothers represent good and evil. This being the moral or the excerpt.

Read the sentence: "You don't have to reimburse
me for dinner it's my treat."
Which option shows the best place to add a
semicolon to the sentence?
Select one:

Answers

The correct answer is D. You don't have to reimburse me for dinner; it's my treat.

Explanation

The semicolon (;) is a punctuation mark made up of a period superimposed on a comma. Experts consider the use of this sign to be subjective. One of its main uses is to separate sentences with semantic relationships, which is used when two sentences are joined without a conjunction. An example of this is "You don't have to reimburse me for dinner; it's my treat" because it is separating two sentences that do not have conjunction that relates them, but that are related. So the correct answer is D. You don't have to reimburse me for dinner; it's my treat.

hello um, what is this ( see picture )? I thought the purpose and message were like the same thing. also, this is the speech:


Your Majesties, Your Highnesses, Distinguished Guests, Comrades and Friends:

Today, all of us do, by our presence here, and by our celebrations in other parts of our country and the world, confer glory and hope to newborn liberty. Out of the experience of an extraordinary human disaster that lasted too long, must be born a society of which all humanity will be proud. Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity's belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all. All this we owe both to ourselves and to the peoples of the world who are so well represented here today. To my compatriots, I have no hesitation in saying that each one of us is as intimately attached to the soil of this beautiful country as are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees of the bushveld. Each time one of us touches the soil of this land, we feel a sense of personal renewal. The national mood changes as the seasons change. We are moved by a sense of joy and exhilaration when the grass turns green and the flowers bloom. That spiritual and physical oneness we all share with this common homeland explains the depth of the pain we all carried in our hearts as we saw our country tear itself apart in a terrible conflict, and as we saw it spurned, outlawed and isolated by the peoples of the world, precisely because it has become the universal base of the pernicious ideology and practice of racism and racial oppression. We, the people of South Africa, feel fulfilled that humanity has taken us back into its bosom, that we, who were outlaws not so long ago, have today been given the rare privilege to be host to the nations of the world on our own soil. The time for the healing of the wounds has come. The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come. The time to build is upon us. We have, at last, achieved our political emancipation. We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people from the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination. We succeeded to take our last steps to freedom in conditions of relative peace. We commit ourselves to the construction of a complete, just and lasting peace. We have triumphed in the effort to implant hope in the breasts of the millions of our people. We enter into a covenant that we shall build the society in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be able to walk tall, without any fear in their hearts, assured of their inalienable right to human dignity - a rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world. We dedicate this day to all the heroes and heroines in this country and the rest of the world who sacrificed in many ways and surrendered their lives so that we could be free. Their dreams have become reality. Freedom is their reward. We understand it, still, that there is no easy road to freedom. We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success. We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world. Let there be justice for all. Let there be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Let each know that for each the body, the mind and the soul have been freed to fulfill themselves. Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another and suffer the indignity of being the skunk of the world. Let freedom reign. The sun shall never set on so glorious a human achievement.

God bless Africa!

Thank you.

Johnson and answer the following question.As I rode the George Washington Memorial Parkway back to the White House only yesterday afternoon, I saw nature at its purest. And I thought of the honor roll of names--a good many of you are sitting here in the front row today--that made this possible. And as I thought of you who had helped and stood up against private greed for public good, I looked at those dogwoods that had turned red, and the maple trees that were scarlet and gold. In a pattern of brown and yellow, God's finery was at its finest. And not one single foot of it was marred by a single, unsightly, man-made construction or obstruction--no advertising signs, no old, dilapidated trucks, no junkyards. Well, doctors could prescribe no better medicine for me, and that is what I said to my surgeon as we drove along.This bill does not represent everything that we wanted. It does not represent what we need. It does not represent what the national interest requires. But it is a first step, and there will be other steps. For though we must crawl before we walk, we are going to walk.I remember the fierce resolve of a man that I admired greatly, a great leader of a great people, Franklin D. Roosevelt. He fought a pitched battle in 1936 with private interests whose target was private gain. And I shall long remember the words that I believe he echoed at Madison Square Garden, when he declared to the Nation that the forces of selfishness had not only met their match, but these forces had met their master.Well, I have not asked you to come here today to tell you that I have a desire to master anyone. But until the clock strikes the last hour of the time allotted to me as President by vote of all the people of this country, I will never turn away from the duty that my office demands or the vigilance that my oath of office requires.And this administration has no desire to punish or to penalize any private industry, or any private company, or any group, or any organization of complex associations in this Nation. But we are not going to allow them to intrude their own specialized private objective on the larger public trust. Beauty belongs to all the people. And so long as I am President, what has been divinely given to nature will not be taken recklessly away by man.This Congress is to be thanked for the bill that you have given us. I wish it could have been more, but I realize, too, that there are other views to be considered in our system of checks and balances.The grandchildren of those of you in this country that may have mocked and ridiculed us today, someday will point with pride to the public servants who are here in this room, who cast their lot with the people.And unless I miss my guess, history will remember on its honor roll those of you whom the camera brings into focus in this room today, who stood up and were counted when that roll was called that said we are going to preserve at least a part of what God gave us.Thank you very much.The first paragraph of the excerpt uses mainly _______ to persuade the audience.categorical claimsopinions and emotional appealsfacts and logical appealad hominemappeals to ego Que es elabora un esquema sencillo, describiendo los pasos que seguirs para definir la problemtica, objetivo, asignacin de tareas, investigacin y diseo de productos, contemplando el actual contexto escolar y familiar que estamos viviendo.
