Answer:
OC. No chores or obligations faced us, therefore, we actually had time to enjoy the holiday.
Explanation:
A conjunctive adverb is a word that acts as a conjunction but also at the same time as an adverb. It connects the two sentences while also modifying the verb in the sentence.
The conjunctive adverb "therefore" is used in the given sentence. And in a correct grammatical form, whenever therefore is used in the middle of a sentence as a conjunctive adverb, it should be used alongside two commas, before and after. So, the right way to use it should be <u>"....., therefore, ....."
</u>
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
No chores or obligations faced us<u>, therefore,</u> we actually had time to enjoy the holiday.
Answer:
It shows that Parris is only concerned about his ministry and though he cares for his daughter, his reputation is more important to him.
He is not a good father for he gives more importance to his image than his daughter, when he said to Abigail in Act 1, that his "ministry's at stake", and that his "enemies will ruin (him) with it".
Explanation:
In Act 1 of "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller, we see the character of Parris, the Reverend of the church in Salem, Massachusetts kneeling in front of his daughter's bed. His daughter Betty had been accused of being under the spell of witchcraft. She and some girls had been found dancing at night in the woods, accused of indulging and practicing witchcraft. Reverend Samuel Parris is worried that this accusation will ruin his family and also since Betty is still unconscious with the doctors unsure of what is wrong with her.
The actions of Rev. Parris in asking Abigail about the occurrence and trying to settle the issue shows that he is more concerned about how the people of the town will think of him. Though he may be the respected reverend in the church, this witchcraft accusation may have a negative impact on his image and may even ruin his ministry. Instead of focusing on the welfare of his daughter, who by the way is still unconscious, he kept telling Abigail how this whole issue will be the ruin of him. He implores her to tell her everything, for he fears that "<em>my enemies will, and they‘ll ruin me with it…</em>", adding "<em>my ministry‘s at stake</em>". This only indicates his poor parenting skills, instead thinking of saving his own skin even when his daughter is sick.

Positive connotation: home, happiness, rose. Positive connotation implies that the words carry an extra meaning apart from the literal one and affects positively in the context used. In this case, the word “home” implies the physical place as in house but it also implies that it is a cozy place where we feel comfortable. The word “happiness” is by itself a word with a positive connotation since we associate it with good things. And finally, the word “rose” has also a positive connotation since it is associated with love, flowers and spring.
Whoever they are talking about has multiple jobs or responsibilities. They don’t just do one specific thing.
