Answer:

The correct way to repunctuate the sentence in the structural style is the following one:

The strange boy whistled and put his hand into his pocket as far as the big coat sleeves would let them go.

Explanation:

"The strange boy whistled and put his hand into his pocket" is a quick sequence of actions, and as so it needs no pause, that is, no comma, let alone a semicolon.

"as far as the big coat sleeves would let them go" is an adverb clause, and adverb clauses that appear at the end of a sentence do not have to be preceded by a comma.

shusha [124]

Answer:

Blame can put you in jail, take away your rights, deny you an afterlife, or <u>worse </u>- cause you to change your behavior.

Explanation:

The word <em>satire</em> refers to the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to criticize people or their ideas. For example, politicians have always been easy targets of satire.

In the last sentence, the word <em>worse</em><em> </em>stands out. The narrator says that it's worse if blame changes your behavior than if it puts you in jail, takes away your rights, or even denies you an afterlife. Objectively the change of behavior is the least severe of the listed consequences, but the narrator for some reason says otherwise.
