The phrases in this excerpt from Robert Stawell Ball's "Great Astronomers" that have a commendable tone towards Ptolemy's work are:

"Ptolemy is, without doubt, the greatest figure in ancient astronomy. He gathered up the wisdom of the philosophers who had preceded him. He incorporated this with the results of his own observations, and illumined it with his theories."

The author acknowledges Ptolemy's importance to ancient astronomy even if his theories and speculations were later found to be wrong. He explains that, even if they weren't quite right, they resembled the actual facts considerably.

Why should student's wear uniform?
Kitty [74]
I go to a school where we wear uniforms. I love it. So I don't really have a hard time in the morning trying to figure out what I am going to wear and if any of the other girls are going to say anything mean about what I am wearing and if it is not in "style". I think it looks more professional.

Talja [164]

Answer:

1. True.

2. False.

3. The dialog tag is not the start of a new sentence if it is in the middle of a sentence.

4. The sentence is incorrect because the word "said" should have the lowercase "s" as it is part of the middle of the sentence.

5. none of above.

Explanation:

Dialog tags are clauses that identify a speaker of a speech in a text. Examples of speech tags are: She said, he yelled, she asked, he asked, among others.

It is common for these dialog tags to appear in the middle of sentences, being part of the sentence that starts the dialog and not as a new sentence, although this can happen in certain cases. Therefore, the dialog tag is usually enclosed in commas. The comma that precedes the dialog tag must be placed before the closing of the quotation marks, while the comma placed after the dialog tag must be placed before the opening of the quotation marks. An example of this can be seen in the sentence: "The cat is black," said John, "that's why it's so cute."

If the clause before the dialog tag ends with an exclamation or question mark, the comma must not be used.

What is more important? What a person thinks, or what a person does?
skelet666 [1.2K]
It's more important to what a person does because as they say, actions speak louder than words do. A person can think a certain way but not act on it but what a person does reflects what they decide internally and what they wanted to do with that idea externally showing that they are serious with that idea of theirs in their head.
