I took the liberty to correct your typing. The original question does not have the verb "is" after the word "brother". The way you typed it, none of the options would be correct. The proper question is this one:

<em>Which sentence is punctuated correctly? </em>

<em>A) My brother a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>B) My brother, a truck driver spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>D) My brother, a truck, driver spends a great deal of time on the road.</em>

<em />

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is option C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road. The structure "a truck driver" is an appositive. That means its function in this sentence is to give further information or an explanation about something that was just mentioned - in this case, the word brother. The speaker is explaining that his/her brother spends a lot of time on the road because he is a truck driver. Appositives should come between commas. That's why option C is the right one.

After reading the excerpt represented above, I find out that the <span>part of this passage from the play which bring out the idea that Faustus’s human soul is predisposed to shun evil is being shown in the lines : "</span> My blood congeals, and I can write no more.'' I consider these lines to be suitable as they pose as an example of hesitancy to give his soul ito the devil's hands.

Read the paragraph.
AfilCa [17]
Based on the paragraph, the underlying emotion that is described is Lara's nervousness. There are many phrases that pinpointed to this emotion, and these are as follows: hesitated, sweaty, downcast eyes, shuffled, timidly. These speak of a person that is uncertain or afraid. 

She cannot be excited because of the word "timidly" which is the exact opposite of excitement. 

She cannot be disappointed because it seems that it is just the first time for her to be in the class thus she does not have any expectations yet. 

Compassion is simply out of context in this paragraph.

Read the excerpt below from A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf and answer the question that follows.
lidiya [134]

This is the correct statement:

Women who read and wrote too often were cast out of the home.

Explanation:

A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf is one of the markedly feminist tracts of all time and it asserts an important point through the existence of this fictional sister of Shakespeare by asserting a fact.

It is that the women were simply not allowed to read and write in his time and no matter how hard she would have tried she would not have amounted to much in her life.

The system was against her education and her pursuit of a career thus.
