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.

Descriptive writing<br> persuasive writing<br> autobiographical writing<br> biographical writing
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The primary purpose of descriptive writing is to describe a person, place or thing in such a way that a picture is formed in the reader's mind. Capturing an event through descriptive writing involves paying close attention to the details by using all of your five senses.

Persuasive writing intends to convince readers to believe in an idea or opinion and to do an action. Many writings such as criticisms, reviews, reaction papers, editorials, proposals, advertisements, and brochures use different ways of persuasion to influence readers.

An autobiography is a non-fiction story of a person's life, written by the subject themselves from their own point of view. Certain autobiographical writing, such as Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, can endure for well over a century and become part of the literary canon.

Biographical writing is a specific form of writing and research that takes as its subject the lives of individuals. As such it concentrates on constructing personal histories, and places them within their social, political and historical context, in order to discover and explain the influences on an individual's life.
