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!

Dynamic characters in the old man and the sea
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

I believe that Santiago is dynamic character in "The old man and the sea"

Explanation:

Santiago is an old fisherman in Cuba who, at the beginning of the book, has not caught anything for eighty-four days.  Santiago's quest for the great catch that will save his career. Santiago endures a great struggle with a uncommonly large and noble marlin only to lose the fish to rapacious sharks on his way back to land.  Santiago ends with his spirit undefeated.

Remember a dynamic character also undergoes changes throughout the narrative, due to conflicts he encounters on his journey. A dynamic character faces trials and tribulations, and takes time to learn from his encounters, his experiences, and his mistakes, as well as from other characters.

So if by any chance you think I am wrong let me know and also think back to the story and try to figure out what characters in the book face "trials" and how that person learns from his/her mistake :) you will do great I believe in you!!

The things that are bold are hints of what your answer should be :) <3
