The Igbo people are an African people of present-day Nigeria. In <em>Things Fall Apart</em> by Chinua Achebe, we learn about the culture of this people. Among the cultural practices he describes is that of the birth of twins.

Igbo people believed twins to be a bad omen, and they considered them supernatural beings that could bring tragedy to the community. Achebe writes that in order to appease the Earth goddess, twins were to be left in the forest to die. He says that "twins were put in earthenware pots and thrown away in the forest."

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Sarah, Matt's wife, works as a business software developer.

Explanation:

The noun Sarah preceding the appositive Matt's wife provides sufficient identification on its own, so we have to use commas around the appositive.

These sentences are written incorrectly:

The, local market, has the freshest produce and meats in town. We don't need to use commas around the subject <em>local market</em>.

Takeko, a painting student offered to help with a sculpting demonstration.

We need to use commas around the appositive <em>a painting student</em>.

The store offers, many products, which can be personalized with your initials. No commas are needed.

Read the passage from the Houston Chronicle about air quality in Houston in 2019. “I’m surprised and disturbed that Houston’s air quality worsened in this year’s [American Lung Association ‘State of the Air’] report,” said Luke Metzger, director of Environment Texas. “The trend since 1999 had been one of steady progress and instead now it seems we are backtracking and that’s bad news particularly for the hundreds of thousands of people who have asthma or other vulnerable populations like senior citizens. . . .”

Current models estimate that more than 60 percent of ozone pollution is from cars, according to Raun, and to address that, the city is trying to encourage practices such as the use of mass transit and transitioning to fuel-efficient or low-emission vehicles.

How is Houston trying to combat increasing ozone pollution?

by raising taxes on vulnerable populations

by increasing access to health care

by encouraging use of mass transit

by prohibiting the sale of new cars
