Hey there!
Em dashes are meant to indicate brief pauses within a running sentence. If you were to include one within a quote, it would go wherever a person pauses for an extended period of time (at least longer than the person would normally take to start their next word).
In your first answer choice, the reader is put under the impression that the em dashes used between "I", "uh", and "am" are pauses, as if Carla was at a brief loss for words. Since she likely paused and said "uh" while thinking of the next thing to say, this is the correct use of the em dash.
In your second answer choice, an em dash wouldn't be appropriate. It's not likely that Bianca would stop her sentence midway, pause, then tell Nawal to duck before the frisbee would hit his head. She likely stopped her sentence and immediately told him to duck instead.
In your third answer, this sentence doesn't even require a dash anywhere. There isn't a need for a pause between "shrieked" and "Laura".
In your fourth answer, this is also an incorrect use of an em dash. There wouldn't be a dash before "exclaimed" in this sentence.
Your answer will be your first option.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
The key feature of writing is a paragraph.
The speaker compares “Imagination” in the poem, to a soaring bird through a variety of forces in the universe. He believes, that there are a lot of advantages of having an imagination, it keeps you sane and your ideas can spread like wildfire through the process. Thus, option "A" is correct.
<h3>What is the theme of the poem "On Imagination"?</h3>
In the poem "On Imagination" by Phyllis Wheatley, imagination was compared to that of a soaring bird probably because the bird can reach the highest of mountains, the clouds and even beyond the sky. Just like the imagination, the bird is limitless and with no boundaries. The bird can see everything up and out there that cannot be seen by common folks much like the imagination wherein everything is possible and anything and everybody exists.
The bird just like the imagination flies so high to the vast outer space seeing wonders and beauties as they travel and fly leaving those in time when the imagination needs to go back to reality and the bird to his home.
Thus, option "A" is correct.
