While you are researching a short biography of President Warren G. Harding, you find a quote from writer and political reporter

H. L. Mencken, in which he says of Harding:
He writes the worst English that I have ever encountered. It reminds me of a string of wet sponges; it reminds me of tattered washing on the line; it reminds me of stale bean soup, of college yells, of dogs barking idiotically through endless nights.

Read each of the following options. Explain how each one is a correct or an incorrect way to use the quote from Mencken. (Note: the source information applies to all of the options.)

A. Harding was known for his terrible use of English. His writing was like dogs barking idiotically through endless nights.

B. Harding was known for his terrible use of English. According to H. L. Mencken, Harding’s writing brought to mind, “dogs barking idiotically through endless nights.”

C. Harding was known for his terrible use of English. His writing brought to mind, “dogs barking idiotically through endless nights.”

D. Harding was known for his terrible use of English. According to H. L. Mencken, Harding’s writing brought to mind dogs barking idiotically through endless nights.

Answer:

A : Harding was known for his terrible use of English. His writing was like dogs barking idiotically through endless nights.-----

This is used incorrectly because not only is the phrase un-quoted but Mencken wasn't recognized for bringing forth the quote.

B : Harding was known for his terrible use of English. According to H.L.Mencken, Harding's writing brought to mind, "dogs barking idiotically through endless nights."

This quote is used correctly because it not only shows where the quote came from but it also uses quotes. ("")

C : Harding was known for his terrible use of English. His writing brought to mind, "dogs barking idiotically through endless nights."

This is not a correct way to use this quote because it does not acknowledge where the quote came from.

D : Harding was  known for his terrible use of English. According to H. L. Mencken, Harding’s writing brought to mind dogs barking idiotically through endless nights.

This an incorrect way to use the quote from Mencken because what he said isn't quoted.

Hope this helps!

Please help! How is banking like herd immunity?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

When people put their money in the bank to save it other people can borrow that money. As they pay it back you won't loose money and the bank will earn in interest. So as long as people are putting their money into the bank others will be able to borrow when tight on money. This is similar to herd immunity because as long as a greater number are doing it the minority that can't will be protected.
