Hello!

Let’s begin with the second sentence:

“To change your life,” said William James, start immediately and do it flamboyantly.”

This sentence is not correct because it does not contain an opening quotation mark before the word “start.” Therefore, we can eliminate the second sentence. Now for the third sentence:

Ms. Winters said, Do all of the math problems on page 98 for homework tonight.

This sentence is not correct. The sentence above contains a direct quotation but does not have opening or closing quotation marks. Therefore, we can eliminate the third sentence as well. Now for the fourth sentence:

“I hope I don’t have to go, Ron said, but if I do, I’ll try to have fun.”

This sentence is not correct. The sentence above does not contain a closing quotation mark after the word “go” nor an opening quotation mark before the word “but.” Therefore, we can eliminate the fourth sentence as well. That leaves only the first sentence:

”If you get a hamster, you’ll be responsible for its care,” my mother said.

This sentence makes proper use of both commas and quotation marks. That being said, we can now conclude that the first sentence is the only one to use correct punctuation.

I hope this helps!

The primary advantages enjoyed by 16th and 17th century European sea vessels were?
S_A_V [24]

The answer is C. Better cannons and ship rigging

During the 16th-17th century, is the height of sea trading. Voyages were longer and farther. Most voyages focused on trading rather than warfare. However, it is inevitable to engage in such warfare when necessary. Artillery such as cannons were redesigned to be lighter and more compact so they would consume less space. Before, cannons occupy much space in the ship thus, the goods that merchants can load on the ship are reduced. Ship rigging was also improved by adding up to 6 masts overall. This was done so that large ships can sail at great distances and reduce the number of trips to cut cost.
