Choose the sentence that contains a comma splice.

English
1 answer:
RideAnS [48]3 years ago

First of all, you need to know what a comma splice is. A comma splice, also known as a run-on sentence, means that two or more sentences are mixed into one large sentence but with improper punctuation. So, a comma is inserted where a period should be to separate two or more unrelated sentences.
Having this in mind, the correct answer is C. <span>As I sat on a bench and drank my coffee, a seagull passed over, he relieved himself on my head. 
There should be a period between the words 'over' and 'he.'
</span>

In the space below, type the spelling word derived from the root word, describe. Notice how the b changes to a p.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The derived word is: description.

Explanation:

A root word is one that originates other words. A derived word is one that comes from a root word. One way to derive words is by adding affixes to the root word. Affixes can be divided into prefixes and suffixes, which are added, respectively, to the beginning and the ending of the root word.

When it comes to the word "describe", a derived word can be formed by adding the suffix "-tion" to it. The root word drops the final -e and the -b becomes -p:

describe --> description

The change in the consonant may happen in order to make pronunciation easier. The phonemes represented by letters "t" and "p" do not require the use of vocal cords, while the phoneme represented by "b" does. Thus, it is easier to pronounce "p" with "t" than it is to pronounce "b" with "t".

Circle the examples of "convection"
Musya8 [376]

Answer: Convection defines the heat transfer by air or water. It is the process by which heat is transferred from a hotter body to a colder body.

Explanation:

Examples of convection are: Steam rising from a coffee mug, smoke rising from campfire, heater blowing warm air.

The warmer air moves up and the colder air sinks in or down. This is how the convection works.

The heat from coffee moves through the steam particles into the air. Another example is heated air blows from the blower. The smoke rising from fire carries warm air to the upside and colder air to downside.
