Answer: D.
Explanation:
Person above me got it right
The correct answers are B. To learn about traveling to Italy and D. TO learn about Mark Twain
Explanation:
In the excerpt, Mark Twain describes his experiences while visiting Italy; this includes a detailed description of the places he visited such as the Leaning Tower and the Duomo (cathedral), as well as his impression of the places. For example, in "makes your flesh creep, and convinces you for a single moment in spite of all your philosophy" Twain describes his thoughts and emotions when he tried to see the base of the leaning tower.
According to this, the two purposes that fit the content of this text are to learn about traveling to Italy because the text focuses on describing important touristic places in this country; and to learn about Mark Twain because the text is a memoir of Mark Twain, and therefore shows readers the life, emotions, and experiences of this writer.
A nonrestrictive modifier adds information that is not essential for the reader to understand the sentence. In case the nonrestrictive modifier is eliminated, the meaning would remain the same. Only nonrestrictive modifiers are separated by commas. Taking this into account, the sentences that contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers are:
- My oldest sister, Maria, is a pilot - If we remove <em>Maria</em>, we can still identify which sister we are talking about.
- My two best friends, Tory and Monica, met me at the movies - If we remove <em>Tory and Monica</em>, we can still identify which two people we are referring to.
- Bulldogs, which I love, are the cutest! - If we remove <em>which I love</em>, we can still identify which dogs we are talking about.
