Answer: C. Perfect in motivations and actions.
Explanation: In ancient Greece, Aristotle was the one who defined tragedy like ""the imitation of an action that is serious and also as having magnitude, complete in itself." he also wrote a meticulous and strict description of how the tragic hero or heroine must be, and how must they act. The characteristic that isn't typical of a tragic hero or heroine is that is perfect in motivations and actions, in the contrary the heroes always had flaws that made them realistic to the audience.
I want to buy groceries to be prepared for the week.
The purpose of this sentence is to state the speaker's desire to be prepared for the week by buying groceries. In order to cut out fluffy words, we can take out any extra adverbs or phrases. Also, it is implied that to buy groceries, one would need to go to the store, so this prepositional phrase can also be eliminated if necessary.

Dear diary,
Today 6 students of our school are found to have contracted Corona Virus. One of them is my classmate. They all were asymptomatic except for our classmate. At the assembly time, principal announced that the school is going to be closed for 14 days, it can be extended if necessary. In the same announcement he told this news too. He told that none of them have any serious problem and that they are currently in hospital. They were taken on a half day basis a day before, but none of us knew that they had contracted Corona Virus. I have given my sample for test also. They told that the result will come tomorrow. I hope I haven't contracted it.
Yours,

Dear diary,
My test report is negetive. Phew! But I am realy scared for my schoolmates. I got the news that one of them is on ventilator. I hope they recover soon. I have already lost many people this year to cope the loss of another person whom I know. Oh! I don't want to think about it. But I simply can't stop. My mind comes at the same point even if I try to distract it. Please, please, please! I really want them all alive. I really do hope for them to be healthy again.
Yours,

Answer:
1: Independent clause
2: Dependent clause
3: Yes, it is punctuated correctly
Explanation:
An independent clause is a bunch of words that can work on its own as a sentence. It is called "independent" because it works on its own. For example, "Jacob walked down the street."
A dependent clause is extra background information that can be added on to an independent clause, but it can't work on its own as a sentence. That is why it is called "dependent," because it depends on the independent clause. For example, "when the bell struck 9." This doesn't make sense on its own, but when you add it to the dependent clause, you get "Jacob walked down the street when the bell struck 9."
Usually to add a dependent clause to an independent clause you use a comma to separate them. A comma is only used when the dependent clause goes before the independent one.
If you look at question 3, see each part of the sentence before and after the comma. Which part can stand on its own as a sentence and which part does not work on its own? The first part "though I hate beans" is dependent while the second part "I love eating chili" is the independent clause.
