English

The correct answer is C. Leo, one of thirteen constellations in the Zodiac, contains ten stars.

Explanation:

In grammar, a nonessential appositive phrase refers to a phrase or set of words that adds extra information usually by explaining or defining one of the elements of the sentence but that is not necessary for a sentence to be complete. In terms of punctuation, these phrases should be set apart by using commas or parentheses before and after the appositive phrase.

In the case of the sentence presented the nonessential appositive phrase is "one of thirteen constellations" because this phrase only explains the term "Leo" but is not necessary for the sentence "Leo contains ten stars" and therefore, the sentence that punctuates correctly this phrase is "Leo, one of thirteen constellations in the Zodiac, contains ten stars" because according to grammar appositive phrases should be enclosed by commas or parentheses and in this case the commas are placed before and after the appositive which is correct.

Which best explains London’s purpose for comparing the consequences of stealing for a man and for a husky?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Not sure but can narrow it down

Explanation:

I don't have enough info to be sure about the answer. I don't know if there is an article or passage to read. If there is, please upload it so I can help you further. I think the answer should be either the first choice or the last choice. If you want to persuade readers that huskies sometimes steal food from humans, in order to compare the consequences, it could be to open up someone's eyes as to what they are doing is wrong. It would be like asking a thief, how would you feel if a husky snatched your filet mignon off of your plate? They would hopefully see that it wouldn't feel good, therefore they shouldn't steal because it will hurt someone else.

The option that says they want to persuade readers that humans and huskies are treated as equals, in my opinion, means that if we would give consequences to a dog such as scolding him, a human should also receive some sort of consequence.

o-na [289]

Answer:

C. Statement [3]

Explanation:

Statement 3 is the inferential statement in the argument, because from the fact that the Japanese companies make group decisions (which is the main reason given for the efficiency of Japanese companies), it is inferred, by logic,  that the Japanese companies do not rely on single individual decisions.

What does comma means
belka [17]

A comma is a punctuation mark (,) indicating a pause between parts of a sentence. It is also used to separate items in a list and to mark the place of thousands in a large numeral. It can also mean a butterfly that has wings with irregular, ragged edges and typically a white or silver comma-shaped mark on the underside of each hind wing.
