Which sentence uses correct punctuation?

English

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 attorney general has warned people that secondhand smoke is dangerous to their well-being.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

<u>secondhand or second-hand</u>

Explanation:

A compound adjective is an adjective made up of two or more words, in which either of those words can be a noun, an adverb, a verb in their past participle form or a verb in their present participle form. Most of the time, these words are joined by a hyphen. The word <em>secondhand</em> is an adjective because it describes the noun "smoke", and it is compound because it is made up f two nouns <em>second </em>and<em> hand</em>. This adjective can also be separated with a hyphen: <em>second-hand.</em>

The other word that may look like a compound adjective, but it is not one, is well-being, because it is a word made up of an adverb + the verb be in their present participle form, HOWEVER, it does not act as an adjective but as a noun.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

sorry if these are dark its what happened to people sadly:(

A crematorium or crematory is a venue for the cremation of the dead. Modern crematoria contain at least one cremator (also known as a crematory, retort or cremation chamber), a purpose-built furnace. In some countries a crematorium can also be a venue for open-air cremation.

Between 250,000 and 300,000 Jews withstood the concentration camps and death marches, although tens of thousands of these survivors were too weak or sick to live more than a few days, weeks or months, notwithstanding the care that they received after liberation.

Life expectancy in many of these camps was between six weeks and three months. Over a million of the Auschwitz dead were Jews, and scholars have concluded that more than half of them were women.

It has been established so far that 928 prisoners attempted to escape from the Auschwitz camp complex-878 men and 50 women. The Poles were the most numerous among them-their number reached 439 (with 11 women among them).

hope this helped good luck with the assignment!!!!!
