Rousseau said that he never took delight in tormenting harmless animals.

Option A.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Jean Jacques Rousseau was a Swiss philosopher and writer among other notable things. The excerpt: 'I had the faults common to my age, was talkative, a glutton, and sometimes a liar; made no scruple of stealing sweetmeats, fruits, or, indeed, any kind of eatables; but never took delight in mischievous waste, in accusing others, or tormenting harmless animals.' was taken from the book 'The confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau'

He talks about how he had many faults that would dwell up and show when you come to a certain age. He confesses of lying on certain occasions, he would talk a lot as many others of his age would and that he stole food at times without hesitation or moral questioning. But he pointed out that despite being mischievous to an extent, he did not partake in acts of cruelty such as causing harm to animals who do not pose any threat.

How do we punctuate a subordinating adverb phrase or clause that comes before the main clause?

jeyben [28]

Answer:

We put a comma after the subordinate clause.

Explanation:

When a subordinating adverb phrase or clause comes before the main clause of a sentence, the subordinate clause should be followed by a comma to separate the subordinate clause information with the independent's clause information. Here are some examples:

After the walk, we went to the shopping mall (Adverb phrase underlined).

In total silence, she waited (Adverb phrase underlined).

Before you leave, could you please shut the door? (Adverb clause underlined)

Since you do not care about the class, you may leave the room (Adverb clause underlined)

Notice that the difference between adverb phrases and clauses is that clauses always have a subject and a verb while phrases do not.
