Answer:

The answer to your question would be that the sentence in which the quotation is introduced correctly is the following one: The majority leader wrote about the first lady's accomplishments: "She has earned my respect".

Explanation:

The colon can be used instead of the semicolon between independent clauses when the second sentence explains, illustrates, or paraphrases the first sentence. In this case, the second clause illustrates the first one as it states the words written by the majority leader. These words are between quotation marks because they are not the words by the speaker or the one uttering the sentence. What is more, in American English, periods go inside the punctuation mark, so it can be said that the sentence in question follows all the punctuation rules regarding quotations.

What is the common noun in the sentence we ate good food all week,too.<br>

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

"We".

Explanation:

A common noun is a noun (Person, place, or thing) that isn't like proper nouns, and that isn't capitalized.

We, unless used at the beginning of a sentence, shouldn't be capitalized.

For example:

Yesterday, we ate waffles.

Yesterday, We ate waffles.

Which sentence is correct? The first one. This is true because, "we" isn't a proper noun, therefore it shouldn't be capitalized unless put in the start of a sentence.

A proper noun is a noun (person, place, or thing) that is specific.

For example, a common noun would be:

burger
ball

While some proper nouns are:

Kansas

Mrs. Andrews

Names would often be a proper noun, because they are always capitalized, no matter where they are in a sentence, and they are always talking about a specific person, place, or thing.

Which event led to the arrest and imprisonment of many National Women’s Party activists?

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Repeatedly picketing the White House

Explanation:

The National Woman's Party was formed with the sole purpose of fighting for a passage of a constitutional amendment ensuring women's suffrage throughout the United States. The prominent leaders were Alice Paul and Lucy Burns.

Before, during and after the World War 1, most women in America and many other parts of were disenfranchized. Despite the fact that the American President then Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, championed democracy in the world during the wartime, the disenfranchizement of women in America was seen by the National Woman's Party as hypocrisy on his part. Therefore, the group started picketing the White House from between January 10, 1917 until June 1919. These protest group known as the Silent Sentinels were tolerated at first, but were subsequently arrested by police for obstructing traffic when they continued their picketing after the United States declared war in 1917.
