It is might have been, because it is linking the subject, the reporter, with being correct about the approaching storm.

Answer:

'might have been'

Explanation:

A linking verb connects the subject, in this case <u><em>the reporter</em></u>, with a word (or words) offering more information about the subject. It qualifies the subject's condition or state.

The trick is to ignore the rest of the sentence, so read it as 'The reporter might have been right.' The reporter is the subject and 'right' is the condition/state. And therefore the complete linking verb is - 'might have been'.

Read the excerpt and answer the question.
adell [148]

Miller’s purpose to include this excerpt in the opening narrative was B. to compare the Salem Witch Trials with the political atmosphere of his time.

This introduction in the play signals a foreshadowing of what is going to happen as the events are recalled. However, Miller’s purpose throughout the play is to compare those historical events to what was happening at the time he wrote it. Arthur Miller sought to criticize Senator McCarthy’s prosecution of presumed communists US citizens by comparing it with the Salem Trials, in which innocent people were accused of witchcraft and later hanged.

How can the following simple sentences be joined to create a compound sentence?
torisob [31]

That's correct, it's option D) Both A and B.

Option C looks incorrect due to the misuse of punctuation. Since the conjunction "and" was added, there is no reason to use a semicolon before it in this situation.

Option A uses correct punctuation, comma, before the conjunction "and". Let's keep it in mind that it is a conjunction's role to connect two sentences in order to form a compound one.

Option B is also correct because, even though it does not use a conjunction to connect the sentences, it uses the semicolon to indicate the sentences are related, that their ideas are connected.

Which of the following is NOT an important component of the publishing phase of writing?
8090 [49]
Margins are not an important component of the publishing phase of writing. On the other hand, when text should meet it's first readers, other three listed components are pretty important. You should choose the good font, which is easy and enjoyable to read. Also, if you want to introduce yourself as a serious writer, you can not leave spelling mistakes in your text. Spacing is equally important. If you don't separate the words and sentences precisely, you will look sloppy, and the reader may have difficulties understanding your text.
