(1) In "The Gettysburg Address," Abraham Lincoln says, "the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it,

far above our poor power to add or detract." He believes that the world has taken notice of the battle but that the war is far from over. (2) He urges that it is "for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining . . . that this nation . . ." He hopes that others will continue to fight for the freedom of all men. (3) Finally, he is determined to make sure that, "these dead shall not have died in vain." Identify whether each quotation is formatted correctly, and, if not, how it needs to be improved.

Answer:

Quotation 1 contains a capitalization error.

Quotation 2 wrongly uses 'ellipses.'

Quotation 3 makes incorrect use of a comma.

Explanation:

The first quotation communicates a complete sentence and therefore, the first letter must be capitalized('The brave men') to make it grammatically correct.

In the second quotation, ellipses have been used incorrectly. It is a punctuation mark consisting of three periods('...') to indicate the omission of a word or phrase that can be inferred from the text. It communicates a complete idea but in this quotation, the idea is not completed after 'nation...' and therefore, the readers are not able to understand it.

The last quotation employs comma inappropriately succeeding the word 'finally' as the sentence is quite short and the use of comma unnecessarily breaks its meaning. There is no need for a comma here as the meaning is more clear and precise without using it.

in one whole sheet of bond paper, make a slogan that will show how beautiful and great fun it is to see the Philippines.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

You could just steal the slogan from Philippine Airlines: "It's more fun in the Philippines!" and then like elaborate. It would be more like an infographic than a slogan poster, but I mean whatever works. Or you could say "Las Pilipinas: Kay Ganda at Masaya!" (it's supposed to say the philippines: so beautiful and fun, but idrk cuz my mom's the one who is filipino and speaks tagalog not me)

Which excerpt taken from “Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall is an example of sensory imagery? “brushed her night-dark hair
cestrela7 [59]

The excerpt from “Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall which is an example of sensory imagery is <u>“brushed her night-dark hair.”</u>

“Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall is a poem which is a conversation between a mother and daughter about a 'Freedom March' which will be happening on the streets of Birmingham. The daughter wishes to attend the march but her mother restricts her to go there and tells her about the dangers of going there. Instead, she sends her daughter to Church which is a safe place. But unfortunately, a bombing happens in the church in which the mother finds her daughter dead. She falls prey to the act of racism.

The line“brushed her night-dark hair” appeals to both the sense of touch and sight in the poem.
