6 0

Answer:

Use dashes to set off appositives that contain commas; in other words, if you are renaming a nearby noun with something that contains commas, use dashes to set if off.  

OR.

Use a dash to prepare for a list, a restatement, an amplification, or a dramatic shift in tone or thought.

Charles Dickens became well-known for consistently utilizing what theme throughout his writings?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The theme of good people coping with bad circumstances

Explanation:

<u>The theme of bad people prevailing over good people</u> – this is not the right answer. Dickens’ novels do have the endings when good people end happily.

<u>The theme of rigid adherence to social norms and patterns </u>– this is not the correct answer. Some of Dickens's characters went extremely against the norms of society.

<u>The theme of societal improvement through charitable works </u>– this is not the right answer. Dickens's work did not deal much with the subject of charitable work.

<u>The theme of good people coping with bad circumstances – this is the correct answer. Many of Dickens’ works dealt with good people who found themselves in unfortunate circumstances and had to fight hard for a better life.</u> <em>David Copperfield</em> follows the life of a man from childhood, as he goes through ups and downs when both of his parents die, and he is sent to a strict boarding school. In <em>Great Expectations</em>, both protagonist, Pip, and his love, Estella, live in the lamentable circumstances and have to fight through life. In the novel <em>Oliver Twist</em>, the protagonist of the same name is also an orphan who lives difficult life and meets people who use him; other characters in the novel, for example, Nancy, are described as nice people who had hard life shaped by bad experiences.

Try to pronounce the initial (first) sound of the word (thin) and identify its place of articulation. *
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Concerning the place of articulation, the initial sound of thin is a voiceless dental.

Explanation:

Place of articulation is one of the three dimensions used to classify consonantal sounds (as well as voicing and manner of articulation), and refers to the area of the mouth where the constriction happens.

Dental sounds are oral and can be voiced or voiceless. They are called apico-dental sounds because the tip of the tongue, known as the lower articulator, articulates with the upper front teeth through soft contact. The symbol of this sound is [θ], called ‘theta’.
