<em>a reference in a text to a well-known text, person, event, or thing</em>. This is the right option. The author makes the decision to refer to these items generally in an indirect way. For example, you should not wait as <em>Penelope</em>. Get out and meet a new man!.  Penelope is Odysseu's wife.

These are not correct options:

- words, events, or dialogue in a text that hint at a future plot development. This is called foreshadowing.

-a communication between characters that develops character or plot.  This is characterization

- incidents placed in a text by the author to mislead or trick the reader: This is plot device.

Which of these is something Henry David Thoreau argues in “Resistance to civil government”?
lukranit [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>That citizen must do something to resist injustice, not just say they don't like  </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Resistance sometimes occurs because people do not give up easily; therefore protesting against laws that prohibit human rights is a right for each individual. Thoreau was an author in America who believed in the existence of civil laws. And he supported the idea of disobeying the laws of the government that were unjust. He, therefore, opposed slavery law and was against the wars in American against the Africans. To him, it was a way of spreading slavery to other parts of the country.

Read the sentence.
kozerog [31]

The best way to revise the sentence is " The campers rowed across the lake and set up their tent in a clearing under the trees," as stated in option D.

<h3>What is the best revision?</h3>

The sentence we are revising here consists of two independent clauses. When that happens, we need to pay attention to the following:

  • Two independent clauses cannot be connected only with a comma.
  • If we choose to use a comma, we also need a conjunction (and, so, but, etc.) and a subject in the second clause.
  • If we choose to use a semicolon, there is no need for a conjunction, but we do need a subject in the second clause.
  • There is no need for a comma if we use a conjunction but no subject in the clause.

Thus, we can eliminate option A for using only a comma. We can eliminate options B and C because they use the semicolon in the wrong way.

The correct option is letter D, since it uses a conjunction without a comma, but no subject for the second clause.
