Answer:
B. The meeting was only supposed to be for an hour; however, it ran for nearly 3 hours.
Explanation:
A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. When a semicolon is used to join two or more ideas (parts) in a sentence, those ideas are then given equal position or rank. Use the semicolon if you have two independent clauses <em>connected without a conjunction</em>. Also use the semicolon when you already have commas within a sentence for smaller separations, and you need the semicolon to show bigger separations.
Hey there!
Em dashes are meant to indicate brief pauses within a running sentence. If you were to include one within a quote, it would go wherever a person pauses for an extended period of time (at least longer than the person would normally take to start their next word).
In your first answer choice, the reader is put under the impression that the em dashes used between "I", "uh", and "am" are pauses, as if Carla was at a brief loss for words. Since she likely paused and said "uh" while thinking of the next thing to say, this is the correct use of the em dash.
In your second answer choice, an em dash wouldn't be appropriate. It's not likely that Bianca would stop her sentence midway, pause, then tell Nawal to duck before the frisbee would hit his head. She likely stopped her sentence and immediately told him to duck instead.
In your third answer, this sentence doesn't even require a dash anywhere. There isn't a need for a pause between "shrieked" and "Laura".
In your fourth answer, this is also an incorrect use of an em dash. There wouldn't be a dash before "exclaimed" in this sentence.
Your answer will be your first option.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
In Act IV, scene I, Macbeth tries to demonstrate his ambition to the witches.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Macbeth wishes to take up the throne and believes he would be the next king. In Act IV, scene I, Macbeth tries to demonstrate his ambition to the witches.
The witches show him who is going to be the next king through three prophecies. Through the sign of 'armed men', 'bloody child' and 'baby with a crown on the head' shows him that it was the sons of Banquo who was going to be the next king of Scotland.
With a mental state of ambition, Macbeth tries to plan a murder plot of Macduff's wide and children. Once an idea was sowed that Macbeth would become a king, ambitious gets him to attain it and push him to tragedy.
