English

The correct answer is C. The other day, one of the gentlemen from Georgia … came down on us astonishingly.

Explanation:

In grammar, an ellipsis (...) is a punctuation mark that consists of three consecutive periods to show words or even phrases have been omitted from the original text. Because of this, the ellipsis is commonly used by omitting complete phrases including punctuation marks, which means ellipsis is not placed along with other punctuation marks such as comma, semicolon or period. Also, it is recommended to place a space before and after the ellipsis and avoid omitting words or phrases that are necessary to understand the meaning or essence of an excerpt.

Considering this, the sentence that correctly uses ellipses is "The other day, one of the gentlemen from Georgia … came down on us astonishingly" because in this sentence the ellipsis is used to show the omission of sentences without changing the meaning of the original text, which is the main purpose of using ellipses. Also, in this phrase, the ellipses are not placed with other punctuation marks and there is a space before and after them has been included which is correct according to grammar and style.

Answer:

The other day, one of the gentlemen from Georgia … came down on us astonishingly. (third option)

Explanation:

An ellipsis takes a space before and after, so the last option is correct.

The first option is wrong because it uses a comma.

The second option is wrong because there is no space before the ellipsis.

In what way does the article contrast traditional advertising<br> with more recent advertising?
Marina86 [1]

The way the article contrasts traditional advertising  with more recent advertising is by showing how different they are and how their roles have changed in recent times.

Your question is incomplete but I will try my best to give you a general  answer that will help you.

The major difference between traditional advertising and more recent advertising is that<u> </u><u>recent advertisement</u><u> is more compelling and has a wider reach than </u><u>traditional advertising.</u>

Traditional advertising is a type of advertisement that was used in the past to try and convince people to buy a particular product or service.

Recent advertising has to do with more modern techniques of adverts where pathos,  ethos, and logos are employed in a more aggressive manner to draw customers.
