Which of the following sentences uses apostrophes correctly?

English
1 answer:
sleet_krkn [62]3 years ago
6 0

An apostrophe is used when you want to do one of the following: show possession, when changing a single noun to its plural form and when you are using contractions, or contracted words, like it and is. In this particular case, we have two cases in which we need to use apostrophes. The first is the use of the last name of two subjects. This last name is, in its singular form, Smith, but because we are talking about more than one (plural), we need to change the singular word into its plural form. To do this, we add the apostrophe after the H and add an s. This shows the plural form. Also, we have a contracted word, it and is. The correct way to show the contraction is by using an apostrophe between the original word (it) and to signify the presence of is adjoined to it, we add an apostrophe and we add the "s" after it. This is why the correct answer is A.

Why is it a mistake to overuse exclamation points in your writing?
Lemur [1.5K]
The answer is A., it makes it feel as if you're shouting at the reading. Exclamation marks are used to show lots of emotion, as sometimes it is also used for shouting.

B., C., and D. all are completely not related.
Your opinion can be expressed with exclamation marks, it won't confuse anyone. Like I said, exclamation marks are used to show lots of fire and emotion. It wouldn't confuse anyone.

Exclamation marks do not confuse the main point. The reasoning for why it isn't C is similar to the reasoning for B. Exclamation marks do not change the main point.

C. is pretty much the opposite. Exclamation marks are used for emotions, not to show no emotion.

An Easy One: (American Movies/ Books)
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explanation:

A Walk to Remember.

Being a cancer patient myself, I understand how both might experience what they did. She was angry with him because he reminded her that she may not see graduation let alone marriage.

He lacked a lot of understanding in the beginning until she tamed him. He couldn't possibly understand, even at 18, what her problem was. Was it God? Was it what was left unfinished? Was it how he cleverly manipulated her deepest wishes -- like being in two places at once. Slowly she began to see that he was adapting to a philosophy of "Not me but thee." Like marriage. She looked the part of an emaciated cancer patient especially in the hospital.

The scene that is particularly heartbreaking for me was the scene between Landon and his father. I am a parent and I know how it feels to be dressed down by your kid especially when that kid is right. The father must have felt Landon's helplessness. So he did something about it. It is not unrealistic; it is just what fathers do.

It is a not to miss movie or book. Any well stocked library has a copy of one or the other or both.

Which type of compound does the sentence contain?
MariettaO [177]

The correct answer is A. Compound object

Explanation:

In grammar, the object refers to the entity that is being affected by the subject (agent of the action) and the main action or verb. This means the object is the entity being acted upon and usually placed after the main action or verb. Additionally, a sentence with a compound object is one that contains two or more objects usually linked by coordinating conjunctions such as "like", "and", "or" and "neither".

In the case of the sentence "Mrs. Khan likes baseball and softball" the subject or agent that performs the action is "Mrs. Khan" the main action is "likes" and the object or entity being acted upon is "baseball and softball" which is composed by two objects or ideas separated by the coordinating conjunction "and". Considering the object of this sentence is composed of two ideas it can be concluded the object "baseball and softball" is compound. Therefore, the type of compound the sentence "Mrs. Khan likes baseball and softball" contains is a compound object.
