Sometimes. If the sentence is two independent clauses then they would need either a period or a semicolon. A comma would be used if you had an independent and dependent clause.
Answer:
To correctly punctuate the sentence, we must:
A. Add a comma after the word dark.
D. Add a comma after the word evil.
Explanation:
We must use a comma to separate coordinate adjectives in a sentence. Coordinate adjectives have the same degree of importance in the structure and describe the same noun. The sentence we are analyzing here uses coordinate adjectives in "evil mad scientist" and "dark distant mountains". However, the punctuation is off. To correct it, we must add a comma after "evil" and another after "dark":
- The unicorns know of an evil, mad scientist who lives beyond those dark, distant mountains.

One change that is being implemented is that "school lunches are required to provide a specific variety of produce each week" (Rita 4).

Explanation:
A quotation occurs when the author of a text wishes to use the words of another author, who are in another literary work. So that this practice does not turn into a case of plagiarism it is important that the author who will make a quote provides information that allows the reader to realize that a quote is being made, in addition to being able to know the name of the author and where to find the original text.
In this case, the MLA format states that for a quote to be made, it is necessary, first, that quote be placed in quotation marks. Then, it is necessary that, in parentheses, the surname of the author and the page number where the quote can be found are presented.

Indians <u>are </u>known for their hospitality. They feel that guest is a person to be <u>honoured </u>and respected and <u>serving </u>him is a sacred duty. My mother <u>is</u> very particular about <u>keeping </u>things in their proper place, but the moment Mr. Narayan <u>arrived</u>, our guest room as well as our drawing room is in a total mess. He is very unsystematic and <u>throws </u>things here and there. As long as Mr. Narayan is in the house. our whole routine<u> is going to remain </u>upset.
Explanation:
Here, we need to pay attention to the tenses and voice of verbs.
The present simple tense (<em>are, throws</em>) is used to talk about habits, unchanging situations, general truths, and fixed arrangements.
The past simple tense (<em>arrived</em>) is used to talk about actions that took place and finished in the past.
The construction <em>is going to + infinitive</em><em> (is going to remain) </em>can be used for predictions based on something we can see or hear now.
Gerunds (<em>serving, keeping</em>) are nouns derived from verbs by adding -ing.
The passive voice (<em>to be honored</em>) is used when we want to emphasize the action and the object of a sentence rather than the subject.
