<span>The correct answer is b. The sea calmed, but no boats left shore. Option a is incorrect because there are unnecessary commas between the noun and its verb ("sea, calmed" and "boats, left"). Option c is incorrect because when using a semi colon, the phrases on both sides of it should be able to stand alone. While "the sea calmed" can work by itself, "but no boats, left shore" cannot, thus rendering the semi colon incorrect. Additionally, there is an unnecessary comma between the noun "boats" and the verb "left." Finally, option d is incorrect because there should be a comma before the conjunction "but."</span>
The answer is D; "Duncan is a guest in my house and I should be protecting him, not harming him myself."
Answer:
A. Sewing can be a time-consuming task.
Explanation:
Time-consuming means something that takes a lot of time to do, the only answer choice that makes sense is A. If John finished his homework in 10 minutes, it could not have been time-consuming. A clock is an inanimate object, it cannot be time-consuming, if she has a party to get to, she probably wouldn't want to have homework that takes time to do.
