Answer:

Zora's lemon tree produces too much fruit. She gives them away, therefore, to her friends and neighbors.

Explanation:

Out of the three sentences given in the question, the correct sentence with correct punctuation will be the second option.

The second sentence's use of the punctuation marks, the separation all makes it correct. The use of a comma before and after 'therefore' is correct, for it is the joining word or the bridging word for the sentences.

Zora's lemon tree produces too much fruit. She gives them away, therefore, to her friends and neighbors.

While in the other two sentences, we see the continuous flow of the sentence without any use of the full stop.

Sentences1 and 3 are wrong as -

Zora's lemon tree produces too much fruit. She gives them them away therefore, to her friends and neighbors.

Zora's lemon tree produces too much fruit. She gives them away, therefore to her friends and neighbors.

Sidana [21]

He mentions that America wrote a bad check for freedom to African Americans, but he states that he “refuses to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.” He also states, “We’ve come to cash this check… of freedom and security of justice.”

Let's just walk through each option.

Option 1: He says that he chooses “to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation,” so it shows that he has given up hope. - This is simply not true. MLK has not given up hope. In fact, he has hope that people listening to this speech will help to create change and allow all people of all backgrounds to have equal opportunities.

Option 2: He states, “so we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches” of the nation for everyone. This proves that he wants government money to be equally shared. - This is also a completely wrong interpretation of the text. The check is symbolic of a promise America made to African Americans. It really has nothing to do with actual currency being handed over.

Option 3: MLK explains that America should give African Americans “a bad check, a check that has come back marked ‘insufficient funds.’” - This is also incorrect. He doesn't want America to give African Americans anything bad. This includes a bad check, or promise.

Option 4: He mentions that America wrote a bad check for freedom to African Americans, but he states that he “refuses to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.” He also states, “We’ve come to cash this check… of freedom and security of justice.” - This one is correct. He is saying that America has not lived up to their promises of equality, but hope is not lost. America can still bring about justice and change to make sure that everyone has equal opportunities no matter their race.
