The correct answer is B. Eager for the game to start again, he watched the half-time clock.

Explanation:

The hyphen (-) is a common punctuation mark, mainly used to join two or more words and combining the meaning of them. Because of this hyphen is used in the case of two or more adjectives that are placed before the noun they describe; in the case of compound words such as brother-in-law; in the case of fractions of compound numbers or in some cases to clarify when two or more words need to be understood as one in case this changes the meaning. Considering this, in the case of the sentence "Eager for the game to start again, he watched the half time clock" the hyphen should be placed to join the words "half" and "time", considering the word "half-time" acts as a compound adjective to describe clock. Therefore, the sentence that shows the correct use of the hyphen is B. "Eager for the game to start again, he watched the half-time clock".

At the start of discussion students should

Answer:

Agree to disagree is one of the common rules in discussion or debate. To say disagreement, one should express it politely; by establishing agreement first then stating the disagreement. Agree to disagree is not only expressed at the beginning of a discussion but also during the discussion.  

As a student who holds a discussion, giving an opinion and arguing a certain point has to be in “academic” language. It means that, although the tension of a discussion might be increased, and heated, it is always needed to express an argument politely, especially when it comes to stating disagreement. You should politely disagree. It can be done by acknowledging the opponent’s opinion first and then saying your reasons why you disagree. Stating agreement or disagreement also have to be followed by reasons and shreds of evidence.  

Here are examples of polite agree to disagree in a discussion by acknowledging the opponent’s ideas and stating the disagreement:

1. I see what you are getting at, but don’t you think that ……..

2. That’s a good point, but how about ………

3. I see what you mean, but …………..

4. I see what you mean, I’m not sure that’s right.

5. That’s a good point, but I’m not sure that’s right.
