The following anecdote would be more fun to read if the indirect statements were turned into direct quotations. Rewrite it using

direct quotations. Try to make the punch line as effective as possible.
The startled waiter looked hard at the customer who had just ordered one rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast for breakfast, and asked him why he wanted such a dish. The man replied that his wife was out of town and he missed her cooking.

One afternoon, an old man ordered in a nearby restaurant for breakfast.
He went inside, find a seat and sit comfortably. 

Then one smiling waiter approached him and asked: "What's your order for this morning, sir?" The old man replied, "Can I have one rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast, please?" 
The waiter with his two brown eyes glow with awe, answered, "One rubbery egg and two slices of burnt toast? (with an emphasis on the word "rubbery and burnt") Was that correct sir?" "Yes, you just said it right", the man replied.
 
"Why on earth would you want such a dish?" asked the waiter.  
 "My wife was out of town and I missed her cooking." replied the old man. 
"Oh! I see". the waiter answered with a smirk and walk back scratching his head.

Select all that apply. Which of the following are correct? "Bakersfield," the old man said, "is my hometown." He never learned t
Sphinxa [80]
"Bakersfield," the old man said, "is my hometown." This one is correct. A fragment of the sentence is being separated by a comma, and then continuing after another comma. If the man had paused after Bakersfield and had proceeded to perform an action instead of "said," this one would have been wrong. 

He never learned to tie his shoes, however he didn't need to, as he only wore sandals. This one is wrong. The word 'however' is not being used correctly and is in the wrong format. For this sentence to be correct, it would have looked like this: He never learned to tie his shoes; however, he didn't need to, as he always wore sandals. Remember that however more often times than not, can only be used when followed after a semi-colon. 

"He isn't here," the somber gentleman mumbled, "I don't know when he will return." This one is wrong. "He isn't here" is a complete sentence, not a fragment of one. For this to have been right, it would have to have looked like this: "He isn't here," the somber gentleman mumbled. "I don't know when he will return." See the difference? There should have been a period after mumbled, so that he could continue onto his next sentence. 

From the first line, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife," Austen established an underlying irony to the tone of the novel. This one is correct. I at first believed it to be wrong, but I misread it. Here it uses the sentence structure where it gives an object a name. What I mean by this is if you said "My dog, Charles, went for a walk." You would use commas to separate the name you have now given your dog from the rest of the sentence. A pause, if you will. This is the same thing going on here, making the commas correct. The reason there is a comma after "wife" and not after the quotation marks is because you are not allowed to place punctuation after a quotation mark like that. They must ALWAYS be kept inside of your quotation marks. 

Your correct sentences would be the first and last.

60 POINTS DO NOT CHOOSE THE REQUIRED SCHOOL UNIFORMS PLSS
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

You see, as we do not attend your school we do not know any facts to write about. Though, you might like to write about the use of technology or school activities. For the tech, maybe write about how many people use it daily (estimated) and what for, go around asking your classmates, etc. For the activities you can write about them in general.  Then take a paragraph or two on 1-3 specific clubs you think are the best and why. Try to switch between vocab and not repeat the same topic all over again in other words.
