The answer is C: It compares the stars' reflections to diamonds to suggest the idea of beauty in nature.
The metaphor used here, in poetic terms, is stating that, as the stars reflect on the surface of the ocean, one can marvel at the beauty of such an occurrence in nature, and since the image shows not the influence of man on the occurrence, it is then perfectly comprehensible to interpret the metaphor as one referring to the beauty in nature.
Answer:
d) free or excepted from something expected of others
because the word exempt originally means free from an obligation or liability imposed on others.
The correct answer is C. before the conjunction.
If there is a conjunction between two independent clauses, then the comma will be placed in front of it. For example: <em>We had a lot of fun at the beach, but I feel tired now. </em>
As you can see, the comma is located in front of the conjunction <em>but. </em>Simply placing a comma between the sentences (without a conjunction) creates a run-on sentence, and that is grammatically incorrect.
