Which sentence uses punctuation correctly?

English
1 answer:
ANEK [815]2 years ago

Answer:

<h3>OK, so this definitely A. I just read an excellent article about climate change, however; the author definitely had a bias on one side of the debate.</h3>

Explanation:

Semicolons used to replace commas

Use a semicolon to replace a comma when you use a coordinating conjunction to link independent clauses that already contain commas. The comma, in this case, makes these independent clauses difficult to read because of the other commas in the clauses: Incorrect: My dog is sick.

<h3>What is the difference between commas and semicolons?</h3>

A comma is a punctuation mark indicating a pause between parts of a sentence or separating items in a list. A semicolon is a punctuation mark indicating a pause that is more pronounced than that indicated by a comma.

<h3>What is a semicolon example?</h3>

When to Use a Semicolon. A semicolon (;) is a punctuation mark that has two main functions: Semicolons separate items in a complex list. For example, The Council is comprised of ten members: three from Sydney, Australia; four from Auckland, New Zealand; two from Suva, Fiji; and one from Honiara, Solomon Islands.

<h3>Where do we use commas?</h3>

Commas

  • USE A COMMA TO SEPARATE INDEPENDENT CLAUSES
  • USE A COMMA AFTER AN INTRODUCTORY CLAUSE OR PHRASE
  • USE A COMMA BETWEEN ALL ITEMS IN A SERIES
  • USE COMMAS TO SET OFF NONRESTRICTIVE CLAUSES
  • USE A COMMA TO SET OFF APPOSITIVES
  • USE A COMMA TO INDICATE DIRECT ADDRESS

1. In lines 1-14, mark vivid sensory details describing the time of year. Why does Chaucer focus on these sensory details? What
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The lines describing the time of the year are:

When April with his showers sweet with fruit ----- 1

The drought of March has pierced unto the  

root                                                                      ---------2

When Zephyr also has, with his sweet breath, ----------5

Quickened again, in every holt and heath, ----------------6

Then do folk long to go on pilgrimage ---------------------13

Chaucer focuses on these sensory details because he is trying to emulate some Latin and Greek authors who introduce their poems by creating inspiration through a muse. Chaucer then chooses to create inspiration by describing a natural phenomenon of the earth replenishing itself.

From the lines above, the season of the year is spring just after winter. The description implies spring as a symbol of rebirth and new life. A time when the earth replenishes itself after the dry air of winter, a time when there is rain, fresh air and when people long to go on pilgrimage.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: In this excerpt, the Dillingham Youngs are described as a

couple that <u>has a routine.</u>

Explanation:

This is an excerpt from "The Gift of the Magi", a 1905 short story by O. Henry. It features a young husband and wife and their struggle to buy Christmas gifts for each other with very little money.

In the excerpt, they are described as a couple that has certain daily routine.  We find out that Jim is never late, and always enters a particular door. The writer uses the adverbs 'never' and 'always' that indicate repeated action. Moreover, the word 'habit' is used, which also suggests that the situation described frequently happens.
