<h3>1. Why are punctuantion marks, like the comma and the semi-colon important?</h3>
Punctuation marks, like the comma and the semi-colon, are very important since effective communication in English also requires competence in the correct use of other punctuation marks. Of course, students are presumed to have learned the correct use of punctuation marks and capitalization in the ten years of exposure to the English language both in formal and informal settings. In this review, it is hoped that what students learned will be reinforced so they will develop more competence in observing the standards of punctuation.
<h3>2. Give examples of punctuation marks.</h3>
<u>PUNCTUATION MARKS</u>
1. <em>Period</em> ( . ) is placed after the end of a sentence.
- Ex. Help prevent drug addiction.
2. <em>Comma</em> ( , ) are the most commonly used mark of punctuation. Probably, it is because of this reason that it poses more writing problems compared to other marks.
- Ex. The father, after ten years of absence from the Philippines is home at last.
3. <em>Exclamation point</em> ( ! ) is used after sentences that express strong feeling or excitement.
- Ex. Help!
- Ex. What a view!
4. <em>Question Mark</em> ( ? ) ends a direct question
- Ex. What is a Filipino?
- Ex. Are you proud to be one?
5. <em>Semi-colon</em> ( ; ) joins closely related sentences.
- Ex. The Filipinos need a better life; they don't need a bitter life.
6. <em>Hyphen</em> ( - ) is used to divide or join words as in
a. Some compound words
Mother-in-law re-example
Forget-me-nots twenty-one
Self-control self-study
b. Syllabication
Interferes = in-ter-feres
Nevermore = nev-er-more
Answer:
The media has all control over society. Everyone is addicted to it. That means they can say whatever they want and people will believe it. If all media sources fell into the hands of one person or group they make things up that are crazy. If they make things up that are crazy people will all watch it. Most of the people will believe this. With more people watching it, they make more money. It's possible they might tell the truth, but that's a low percent.
Explanation:
Answer:
1. The tone being conveyed is a laudatory tone.
2. The poet achieved it by asking a rhetorical question and providing the answer.
Explanation:
1. The tone being conveyed in the last stanza of the poem was a laudatory one. This means that the poet was praising the boy Icarus for trying the boundaries of his intellect.
2. To achieve this, the poet asked a rhetorical question;
<em>Should it matter
</em>
<em>that neither shepherd nor farmer with his plow
</em>
<em>watched him fall?
</em>
He answered the question by saying that 'he now had the answer'. So, even though the boy eventually fell, he had explored the heights of his freedom and had satisfied his curiosity.
Reading Jane Eyre's Education, the most striking positive outcome of her engagement in education is the desire for self-education. This certainly contributes to her prospect for future life, because such a developed character helps throughout the whole life in various newly emerging circumstances. Furthermore, the ability to read gives her a sense of the world, and develops her imagination, improves the use of language, as well as the invocation to say and to fight for what she thinks. What she develops as a tool for achieving what she thinks, which is the result of reading and developing imagination, intuition, and strong attitude, is creating strong preferences and antipathies to what she considers to be unjust. Thus, she develops a strong sense of justice and hatred for oppression. All this is certainly preparation for future life.
On the other hand, a school with a rigorous and rigid Christian morality constantly reminds them of a dependable status, and it implies female non-generative nature and uses rudeness to suppress their natural behavior. This fact always limits personality, and it never reflects well on future life. What also fails to prepare for future life is the fact that education teaches them basic musical performances, basic art skills and a little foreign language. They teach them to be cultivated but do not make them useful for anything other than teaching. Education is a safe haven, because it does provide emotional satisfaction in a protected area separate from the world's hardship. That is partly good, but education should teach how to cope with all the difficulties of the world.
The comma in the sentence is used to separate the clauses, "The Great Hall is open to the public" and "you must reserve a spot in advance". These clauses are both independent. Thus, the answer to the question above is letter D.
