Only two of the four sentences contain a direct address.  A direct address exists when someone addresses someone directly, meaning speaks to them by name.  In (A), Walt is being addressed.  In (C), Denise is being addressed.  Direct addresses are always set off (separated from the other words) by commas.  If the direct address is the first word in a sentence, it is followed by a comma.  If the direct address is the last word in a sentence, it is immediately preceded by a comma.  If the direct address appears elsewhere in the sentence, it is sandwiched between commas.  For example,  "I was wondering, David, if you'd mind helping at the event?"  By the way, when a title or endearment functions in a sentence as a name, it is also considered a direct address:  "If you don't let me go to the party, Mom, I'll never speak to you again."  In your problem, (C) contains the direct address that is punctuated properly because Denise is followed by a comma.

I need someone to write me an essay on why a teenager should have a dirt bike
olasank [31]

Some things that are fun about dirt biking is the difficulty of riding. When someone keeps trying to do the same trick over and over. Then they finally get it just right then your heart would be pumping a mile a minute in excitement. Some people could try to do a trick and get hurt and not be able to ride anymore.

Another thing about dirt biking being fun. Is how everybody is so competitive over racing. There are different types of races. There is free style, pair racing, and then  there is  normal  racing.

  that’s why dirt biking is fun. The amount of continuous time spent on your dirt bike will help improve your cardiovascular health by improving your endurance. If an average ride on a dirt bike is an hour or more, you will be engaging the muscles in your legs and arms as well as increasing your heart rate continuously throughout the ride.Riding a dirt bike is a great physical activity that engages your whole body as well as your mind. Tell your parents that your reflexes will improve, you'll get plenty of exercise, and your mental acuity will be sharper
