Usually, when people write, they tend to get confused about the correct use of commas in a sentence or a text. This is because people tend to believe that commas are used for pause, much like a period. But the reality is that this is not so. Use it before a linking word like but, of, etc, to connect two independent sentences or clauses. The second case is much like in this example; commas are used to divide dependent clauses. Also, and most importantly for this case, commas are used to divide items that make part of a series. So, the correct answer is C: The former astronaut gave an inspiring, opening address to the crowd of excited, fascinated, students, because words like inspiring, and fascinated are words of a series used to describe and amplify the information regarding a main issue. So, for example, inspiring describes the opening address and then the second clause, which talks about the group of students, both excited and fascinated are working as descriptors of the students. This is why you use commas in these places.

"<span>The former astronaut gave an inspiring opening address to the crowd of excited, fascinated students" is the best choice, although a comma could technically be placed after "inspiring" </span>

Read this line from chapter 3 of The Metamorphosis: Was he an animal if music could captivate him so? How does this line reveal
slega [8]

The line from The Metamorphosis shows us that although Gregor has changed into an insect, he still has human thoughts and emotions. He can still think and feel like a human and appreciate the finer things in life, such as music, which would presumably be lost to him if he were solely an animal, especially an insect. So the line shows that although he has physically changed, mentally and emotionally he’s still a human.

Gregor’s role as a son and brother also undergoes a transformation along with his physical transformation. Prior to his transformation, his entire family is dependent on him and his job. However, after his transformation, he becomes dependent on other members of his family for his sustenance and survival. For example, in the initial days after his transformation, Grete feeds him, and he comes to depend on her for nourishment.

Gregor struggles with a number of identity issues in his new form. Although he has been transformed into an insect, he still has human feelings and sensations. However, being an insect, he cannot find a suitable outlet to express his feelings and emotions. The few instances in which he tries to reach out to other people or experience pleasure, as when he wants to hear Grete play the violin, he’s vehemently dismissed because of his repulsive form.
