Most people have never heard of the instrument called the marimba. It is played in many countries around the world. The marimba

is a percussion instrument, a type of xylophone nearly ten feet long. The forerunner of the modern marimba comes from Guatemala. The instrument, however, is even older in its origins, which are thought to be Mayan.
The marimba consists of a set of wooden keys or bars that are hit with two or more mallets to make musical sounds. Some pieces of music require the use of up to six mallets. The instrument slightly resembles a piano, but the musician plays the marimba standing up instead of sitting down.
The marimba is not special because of its wooden bars. Instead, resonators, the metal tubes that hang beneath each bar, are what make the marimba unique. They are made in different lengths and produce different sounds and tones. Some resonators are made of aluminum, but brass is preferred. Resonators were originally made of hollowed-out gourds. The mallets also make a great difference in the quality of the sound. Softer mallets are used for the low notes. Harder mallets are used for the high notes.
It takes a great deal of skill to handle multiple mallets, two or three in each hand. Some musicians have developed special grips to help them control the mallets as they play. One of these, the Stevens method, uses four mallets, two in each hand. The grip involves holding one of the mallets with the ring and pinky fingers while the other is controlled between the thumb and the middle finger.

Which word in the sentence should be followed with a semicolon ?
cupoosta [38]
I think the correct choice is D such that the sentence becomes: <span>Jan's speech was interesting and lively; Tim's was a bit too long. This is because semicolons are typically used to link two independent clauses that are very much related. In this case the two independent clauses are: 

(1) Jan's speech was interesting and lively
(2) Tim's was a bit too long</span>

Assess the important of finding a balance between personal freedom and responsible social behaviour?
alekssr [168]
It has been said that "one's rights ends where another person's rights begins." In other words, there is a proper place and time for each person's expression of his freedom and it should be maintained under certain limits and conditions. For instance, an individual has the freedom to choose his own clothes; thus, he can wear his style for as long as he does not distract or offend others by his clothes. This is also true with drinking alcohol. Nobody's stopping anybody from drinking but they are expected to behave properly so as not to cause public disturbance. The worst scenario is driving under the influence of alcohol where many lives are cut short because of car and road accidents. Peace and order is maintained when personal freedom and responsible social behavior are put in place. Going beyond the limits will only deprive the society of harmony and hinder others from enjoying their own personal freedom.
