1. I used context clues and connotations to make inferences about the text. Words such as "'energetic," "dare," and "dream," give off positive connotations which help the reader identify the meaning of the passage. This is accomplished by the words that surround the above words in the passage, which allow the reader to guess what the above listed words mean. It is also accomplished by the connotations of the above words, which are positive and hopeful. Therefore, by using the above methods, I used context clues and the connotations of various words to decipher the meaning of the text.
The following sentence that is correctly punctuated is C.
Answer:
A semi colon is used to link 2 related clauses, before a conjunctive adverb or transitional phrase connecting 2 clauses, and separating items on a list that also contains commas
Explanation:
A semi colon ";" is a punctuation mark with 3 functions; it is used:
- <u>To link 2 complete and independent clauses that are related.</u> Example: Kate loves attending ballet class; when she dances, she feels like a butterfly.
- <u>Before a conjunctive adverb or transitional phrase that is connecting two complete and independent clauses.</u> Example: Susan has never enjoyed playing sports; nevertheless, she never misses an NFL game on TV.
- To separate items in a list that also contains commas. Example: Children usually like eating ice cream with different topping combinations such as: caramel, nuts and chocolate chips; strawberries, marshmallows and pecans; and coconut, brownie bites and whipped cream.
When reading, semicolons indicate a pause moderately longer than that of a comma, but shorter than that of a period.
I’d say # 1 since all other sentences support this point
Go to the teacher, and have a little nice friendly talk. Point out that you just joined the class, so of course you don't have the current assignment ready, simply because it was already in progress when you arrived. Ask her for some reading that you can start doing now, to start learning the subject that everyone else was working on before you arrived.
