The correct answer here is A.

The word "gross" in this line from Frederick Douglas's famous speech named
<span>“What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” </span>means flagrant or extreme. This term is often used with the word "injustice" and it means unacceptable and obvious which is definition for flagrant as well.

Which revisions describe how to correct this fused sentence? Check all that apply. Eliana heard the phone ring she ran to answer
garri49 [273]

Answer:

  • 2) Add a period after ring and capitalize the first letter of she.  
  • 3) Add a semicolon after ring.

Explanation:

The sentence described above is a compound sentence as it contains at least two independent clauses. The end of the first independent clause is ''ring'' so changes need to be made after this word to properly punctuate and join these independent clauses.

One way is to add a period after the ring but then also capitalize he first letter of she because the clauses are now separated. The other way is to add a semicolon after the ring.

Answer:

  • After eating lunch at the cafeteria, Ben went to the gym to have a swim.
  • Due to the damage caused by the storm, the ferry will not be running today.
  • The company's training session, which was due to take place on Tuesday, has been postponed.
  • If you are going to college this autumn, don't forget to sign up for a discount card.

Explanation:

Commas are punctuation marks that separate and help organize words, clauses, and concepts in a sentence. They usually follow participial phrases that introduce a sentence.

An adverbial phrase such as "After eating lunch at the cafeteria" at the beginning of a sentence, should be followed by a comma. Nonrestrictive clauses such as "which was due to take place on Tuesday" are should be set off by commas. If a dependent clause is used to introduce a sentence, it should be followed by a comma.
