Answer:

What caused Schaffer to instruct his assistant to strike Box 342, accidentally sending firefighters to the wrong place was:

B. the dark, hazy night and the tall buildings

Explanation:

The passage establishes the cause-and-effect relationship very clearly. According to the author, Shaffer was trying to determine the exact location of the flames he could see in the distance. However, <u>"This wasn't easy because of the distance and tall buildings between him and the flames. In addition, the moonless sky was made even murkier by the swirling, smoky haze."</u> After offering that explanation, the author says Schaffer instructed his assistant to strike Box 342. What we have here is:

- Cause: the night was dark and hazy; there were also tall buildings making it difficult to determine the location;

- Effect: Schaffer mistook the location of the fire and instructed his assistant to strike Box 342.

Which revisions describe how to correct this fused sentence? Check all that apply. Eliana heard the phone ring she ran to answer
garri49 [273]

Answer:

  • 2) Add a period after ring and capitalize the first letter of she.  
  • 3) Add a semicolon after ring.

Explanation:

The sentence described above is a compound sentence as it contains at least two independent clauses. The end of the first independent clause is ''ring'' so changes need to be made after this word to properly punctuate and join these independent clauses.

One way is to add a period after the ring but then also capitalize he first letter of she because the clauses are now separated. The other way is to add a semicolon after the ring.

Answer:

Lucky I'm doing this now...

1-She doesnt want to kill him as he reminds her of her deceased father.

2-Macbeth forgets to smear blood on the vests of the drunk stewards who shall be held culpable for his actions against the king.

3. Of hell.

4. He is proclaimed King, as Duncan is dead and his sons have fled.

5.She immediately puts on an act of greivance, claiming is could not happen in her own house..though in my opinion she was more worried about the house's reputation rather than the actual murder which could be a giveaway, though she did faint to shift the attention from the already disturbed Macbeth.

6.She treats his emotions as trivial and cowardlike, as if murder could be washed away like 'just a little water shall rid us of this deed'

7. Lechery, urine, sleep, nose-painting. All in all a masked description of Macbeth's insanity.

8.Macbeth does out of fear that they shall speak.

9.As they believe their father's murderer plans to take the throne, hence since Malcolm is heir to it, he shall be next to kill as well as Donaldblain. To protect their lives, they flee.

10. He was given the last promotion from the staff and respected by the King, who claimed he deserved more. This high respect the sovereignty had for Macbeth motivated the others to crown him.

11. Has murdered sleep.

12. Since the porter is drunk, his scene provides us with  drunken chaos. The description of a drunk is a description of Macbteh's descent into insanity after murdering the king, and the chaotic nature of the entire scene is reflective of how Macbths kingdom shall be in the future.

13. The action of killing the king, which what the two Macbeths have done.

14. The three witches he and Macbeth encountered.

15. He is incredibly remorseful, shaken and out of his mind. He refuses to be consoled, his guilt immense and fresh...
