Hi!

When we have a quote, we often times use a colon to separate our text from the quote's text.

With this in mind, the best answer choice here is C.

Hopefully, this helps!

Answer:

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is sentence C.

Explanation:

When you use a complete sentence to introduce a quotation, you need a colon after the sentence. If you used a comma, you would create a comma splice. In the sentence above, the sentence introduces the quotation, the words actually said by the speaker's grandmother. That is why the words are inside quotation marks.

The quotation is not a question, so that leaves out option D. In B, the colon is wrongly placed. Finally, the semicolon in A would create a similar error as with the comma. Taking all this into account, it can be said that C is the right choice.

Answer:

B. harmed more patients with infections than they helped with surgery.

Explanation:

Before Joseph Lister was inspired by Pasteur's germ theory to perform sterile operations, doctors harmed more patients with infections than they helped with surgery.

This was because doctors didn't do enough to prevent the spread of bacteria through surgical equipment and in the end they ended up causing more problems for their patients than the help they gave.

Prior to Joseph Lister's sterilisation which was influenced by Pasteur's germ theory, surgeons were unhygienic and didn't wash their hands or change their clothing before surgery which made infections after surgery widespread.

Which do you regard as Crevecoeur's most compelling observation in the first paragraph? Why?
puteri [66]

Answer:

The most convincing consideration made by the author is that in America there was freedom, since no individual was responsible for maintaining aristocrats and nobles. Each person was only responsible for himself and worked to enrich himself, something that the English could not do.

Explanation:

Letters from an American Farmer is a series of texts written by J. Hector St. John de Crèvecœur. The texts are written in a letter format where the author reasons about the exploitation of america, american identity, the advantages that america has and even slavery.

The third letter is entitled "what is an American?" where the author replies that to be an American is to have freedom and autonomy. He reinforces this argument by informing that in Europe, people do not have freedom and autonomy, because they are trapped by an aristocracy that they need to maintain. In that case, workers do not work to enrich themselves, but rather their princes. This does not exist in America, where each individual is not responsible for any noble person, but for himself and works for his own success.
