Unnecessarily capitalised words: Cattle, Longhorns.
Words that should be capitalised: Ranch, Trail (in the context of Santa Fe).
Words that follow after the names of certain places (road, boulevard, etc.) should always be capitalised, as they too are part of the names.
Cattle & Longhorns shouldn't be capitalised as they are common nouns & aren't part of any names, places, etc.

what is the author seeking to show in this section about the social movement underlying the protests in standing rock
Kipish [7]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The protests at Standing Rock aimed to prevent the destruction of historic and sacred sites for North American indigenous peoples. These protests triggered a series of adjacent movements that sought protection not only for indigenous rights, but addressed themes such as religion, historical protection of a country, suppression of cultures, imperialism, among others.

These movements show that when a right is suppressed, a series of social elements are hurt and questioned.

Group of answer choices.

A. The man who wore a checked tie.

B. The man somewhat out of place.

C. The man in the blue pin-striped suit and checked tie looked somewhat out of place at the party.

D. The man in the blue pin-striped suit looked out of place because of his checked tie.

Answer:

C. The man in the blue pin-striped suit and checked tie looked somewhat out of place at the party.

Explanation:

In English language, a simple sentence can be defined as a sentence that comprises of a single independent clause, a predicate or verb and a subject. Also, the subject in a simple sentence is joined together by a conjunction such as "and" to reflect the action that is being performed or done by the verb in the sentence.

<em>An example of a simple sentence is;</em>

  • The man in the blue pin-striped suit and checked tie looked somewhat out of place at the party.

In the above example, the subject is "man" while "blue pin-striped suit and checked tie" is a modifier and they are all performing the same action.

<em>Additionally, all the other examples given are not a complete sentence or is a complex sentence. </em>

Read the excerpt below from Interview with Marielle Tsukamoto and answer the question that follows. I think the saddest memory i
Sonja [21]

Answer:

The central or main idea either refers to the point or purpose of a paragraph or it refers to the summary of a piece of writing. These two concepts are closely related in a piece of writing because the point of each paragraph should contribute to the point of the entire piece of writing. In order to discover the point or purpose of a paragraph, one must first identify the topic of the piece of writing. Then, one must identify the structure or medium used to discuss the topic. Finally, for a paragraph, one should identify the sentences that the other sentences seem to support, and for an entire text, one should identify the statement or idea that the paragraphs seem to discuss or support. When this process is applied to the excerpt from An Interview with Marielle Tsukamoto, I come up with the following answers:

Topic: Japanese internment

Structure: Interview

Central Idea: "I think the saddest memory is the day we had to leave our farm."

Why: The first sentence is the main idea because the sentences that follow it support it. The first few sentences explain why the memory is so devastating. The last few sentences explain that the most devastating aspect was that the family was forced to leave for no legal or just reason.
