Answer:

Fewer people had decided to buy lunch at the cafeteria; instead, they packed a lunch to bring from home.

C. ;instead, they packed a lunch to bring from home.

Explanation:

This question is concerned with the use of commas and semicolons. One of the functions of semicolons is to join two independent clauses with closely related ideas that are not joined by a conjunction like “and,” “or,” and “but.” The sentence provided consists of two independent clauses: “Fewer people had decided to buy lunch at the cafeteria” and “instead, they packed a lunch to bring from home,” which are not joined by a coordinating conjunction. Therefore, a semicolon should be placed between these two clauses.

Besides, option C is the correct answer because it also uses the comma correctly. The comma here separates the introductory word “instead” from the rest of the sentence. Other examples of introductory words that require a comma after them are “meanwhile,” “thus,” “furthermore,” “besides,” “finally” and “however.”

Read the excerpt from the interview with E.Y. (Yip) Harburg.
Art [367]

Answer:

Because the man worked for it.

Explanation:

Harburg feels it is a legitimate question because it goes beyond a man just begging for alms to fend for himself. The man played a pivotal role in creating the wealth that circulates the economy, he took part in keeping the society safe, he grew up in the society and contributed his quota to seeing it better. However, now he has to wait in line to partake of a wealth he helped create. So the question goes beyond him asking for what to fend for himself with, it is also him asking for what should be his by virtue of labour.

PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE 2 <br> THANKS

There are two truths in this passage, and, unfortunately, they do not coincide.There is the author's truth and there is a mother's truth.

No mother in her right mind would say that her son was lucky because he did not have to kill a conscript, but the author feels that way. War is a terrible thing. It  is premised on on the notion that the "team" that can inflict the most damage or kill the most number of the enemy is the winner. The rules are, there are no rules. Anything goes.

So the first sentence I would pick would be the one beginning. "I thank my God he did not have to do it..." That is the author's point of view.

The second sentence I would choose is "What you got black on for ...? " This may not be what your marker is looking for, but on principle I would pick it. She is saying "We should not mourn his death. We shouldn't celebrate it either. The only good thing is that his death meant that someone else didn't die."

This last sentence is the hardest to justify. Most women I know couldn't live with the unnecessary death of a child. But the author could. He could say that such a death was needless and pointless, and should not be mourned.
