Hello, I could probably answer it more surely if the question was provided in its original format. But for how it was presented, I believe the answer would be C. A callout.
A callout (or call-out) in publishing is a short excerpt within a bigger text, somehow highlighted to call the reader's attention out to that part, specially. It can be a short string of text with its words connected by lines, dots, arrows, or similar, a sentence in bold separated from the text, or written in a different format, usually in a larger font. - This one is very common in magazines and newspapers. (and I believe this is the type that was presented on this excerpt original format).
Answer:
B. Bounderby.
Explanation:
Charles Dickens' "Hard Times" is a satirical take of the English society during the Industrial Revolution. The novel revolves around the lives of the Gradgrind family, and how their upbringing puts them in conflict with what they observe in others.
<u>Mrs. Sparsit is the housekeeper for Mr. Joisah Bounderby's place</u>. She is a widow who had worked and dependent on Mr. Bounderby for an <em>"annual stipend"</em>. She would later try to jeopardize her master's marriage to Louisa Gradgrind so that she can become the mistress of the house instead.
The second one is the best answer
Answer:
The sentence that is correctly punctuated is the following one: "Let's get going," Ginnie shouted, "it's getting dark!"
Explanation:
The sentence above is a direct quotation. Quotation marks are for when you want to include someone else's words in your own writing. What is more, direct quotations contain a quote in which you report the exact words used.
In this case, the quote has been split. When you split a quote to introduce a parenthetical, you shouldn't capitalize the second part of the quote example: (it's getting dark!"). Also, the exclamation mark goes inside the quote because it applies to the quoted material, not to the whole sentence. For these reasons, the sentence chosen is the one that is correctly punctuated.
