Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C) Swimming is my favorite form of exercise; it gives me energy".

Explanation:

Semicolon may be used to separate and/or organize independent clauses and/or headings and subheadings. In this case of letter C, the semicolon is used to better organize the sentence by dividing the first main independent clause ("Swimming is my favorite form of exercise") from the second clause which expresses a secondary idea ("it gives me energy"). All the other options are lacking in some way.

Remark

Left Pane

What is freedom? What do people mean when they say they want freedom? Is that really what Andrew wants? Does he know? Suppose someone gave him 10 million dollars. What would that mean?

Would it mean he would never have to return to the business of packing grocery bags and listening to blaring announcements that really mean nothing to him? Would it mean that he could do anything he wanted? Would it mean that he could live endlessly on a beach when he wasn't driving around. Yes, it would mean all of those freedoms. That's what Andrew thinks is Freedom.

So having defined Freedom for Andrew, where do we find it in the writing. Begin with the second paragraph. Gets home, turns on the ignition and kicks the thing into a high roar. And off he goes.

He's responsible. So he starts off slow, but soon speeds up to keep up with the highway traffic. That's part of the freedom: keeping up with whoever is on the highway -- fast driving. Andrew always preferred driving in open air. Wherever he lives, Open Air feels good. [Good thing he doesn't live in Canada where it can get to > - 40oC.]

He dreams of riding forever and never returning to his job. That's freedom. Just find the sentences that say what I've said.

Middle Pane

One: The first one depends on what you are told. The character is against a whole bunch of people, plus whoever is competing in the Marathon. I would say it is character against society because there is no one person he is competing against. Check your notes.

Two: A Snake bite? Are snakes not a part of nature? It's man against nature.

Three: A husband and wife arguing? What else is new? Character against character.

Four: Character vs. Self. What shall she do? There's no one else in this scenario. So it is one character vs no one else but herself.

Right Pane

For this one, I'm just going to post an answer. If you disagree, use your answer. The sentence at the end of the first paragraph is the one I would go with. "The world to me what a secret which I desired to divine." Yes he likes the female and she is a good companion, but he finds nature much more interesting. You could pick the next sentence as well.

What is democracy

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Democracy is a form of government in which the people have the authority to choose their governing legislation. Generally there are two types of democracy, direct or representative. Democracy is a system of processing conflicts in which outcomes depend on what participants do, but no single force controls what occurs and its outcomes. A democracy means rule by the people. The name is used for different forms of government, where the people can take part in the decisions that affect the way their community is run.

Read the passage. Then answer the question that follows.

Leni [432]

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter A. Antony calls the assassins "honourable men” but subtly turns the crowd against them.

Explanation:

At this point of Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar", Caesar has been betrayed and killed by his men. Mark Antony, who was loyal to Caesar, now pretends to be loyal to Brutus and Cassius, Caesar's assassins, to save his own life. However, at the funeral, he wittily shows the crowd that Brutus and Cassius are not good men. Even though he calls them "honourable", he does so ironically. The Roman people loved Caesar and very well knew his qualities. By emphasizing the fact that Brutus is trying to find some flaw to blame on Caesar, Antony shows the crowd that Brutus is against Caesar and should not be trusted. He then makes it clear that it is not just Brutus since "so are they all, all honourable men". Antony smartly conveys the very opposite of what his words are saying.
