How could you decipher a passage written in another language

English

You have two options depending on context:

1) If it's a quick exchange and can be figured out in context, put the foreign language in italics.

"As-tu le livre?"

"Yes, I have the book here."

or inline:

"You filthy p'taQ!" B'Elanna snarled.

2) If it's a quick exchange without context, put the translation afterwards and italicize that.

"Pour ma peine, ma punition, je tourne en rond," he sighed. For my pain, for my punishment, I pace in circles. Now Picard understood.

inline:

"Qa'pla!" Successs! the Klingon shouted.

In any case, I would not have more than one or two exchanges in a foreign language. Either use a tag like "she said in French" so the reader realizes the characters aren't speaking English, or note in narration "they discussed the matter in French for some time, but as Malcolm didn't speak the language, he had to wait for a translation."

Two sentences written as one sentence and is usually separated by a comma?
tatiyna

Answer:

Run-on sentences can be divided into two types. The first occurs when a writer puts no mark of punctuation and no coordinating conjunction between independent clauses. The second is called a <em><u>comma splice</u></em>, which occurs when two or more independent clauses are joined by just a comma and no coordinating conjunction.

katrin [286]

Answer:

1) Renewable energy use is heavily criticized and requires long-lasting cautious examination as it is quite arecent development (Adra, 2014)

Explanation:

A paraphrase is made when you read an original text and after understanding it, I rewrite it using your own words, its own grammatical structure and its own diction, while maintaining the exact meaning that the original text presented. In this case, we can affirm that option 1, selected above, was the only one among the options that maintained the meaning of the original text, this option being the best paraphrase.

It is important to note that whenever a paraphrase is made, it is necessary that the author and the year of publication are referenced.
