Answer:

The paragraph above only contains one sentence that is punctuated correctly. This is the last one (Without a moment's hesitation...)

Explanation:

The sentence above is the only one that is correctly punctuated in the whole passage. The comma has been used after the introductory phrase "without a moment's hesitation" and in the predicate in order to list what the girl did. There is a comma after each of the verb phrases (the girl walked over to the table on which the book lay, picked it up, and walked out of the room). Commas are used to separate three or more words, phrases, or clauses. This means that when three or more items are being listed in a sentence, a comma goes between each item in the list.

All the other sentences are wrongly punctuated. This is so because some of the sentences are separating subject and predicate with a comma (the girl, walked over the table...), others have no subject (picked it up and walked out of the room), others separate the complement from the verb (the girl walked, over to the table), and others are just too choppy (the girl walked over to the table on which the book lay, and without a moment's hesitation, she picked it...).

The last sentence is correct, because the other ones either had periods in the middle or too many commas in them.

Read the passage.
Helen [10]

The use of imagenology in literature, both prose and poetry, is a technique that has the purpose of communicating a message but through a visual experience and through imagination. Literally, in this passage, there is the mention of two images: the first, illumination, which brings forward the idea of visibility, and even more so, of underlining the importance of what is being shown. The second image is created by the description of the enormous and dangerous animals that swim inside and which represent both danger and fear. Through light and the idea of those dangerous animals, the author is trying to put forward the message of those fears that lurk inside and that might harm us. The correct answer then is C because light allows for colors to come through and it turns the shadows of fears (the twisting sharks) to be seen through the idea of hope.
