Neat
sweet
ridiculous
hot

The four words above are frequently used by people in informal situations with meanings that differ from their "proper" or standard ones. First, let's take a look at their original, literal definitions:
1. neat - tidy, organized; efficient.
2. sweet - sugary; sugary food; pleasant, delightful.
3. ridiculous - laughable, comical; absurd.
4. hot - very warm; spicy.
In everyday informal conversations, those words take on different connotations. Sweet and neat can be used as compliments to things and people who are considered cool, nice, interesting. For instance:
- Man, that ride is neat!
- You got a bonus! Sweet!
Ridiculous can also assume a better connotation than the original. It can refer to something being greater, better than expected:
- He made a ridiculous amount of money at that job.
Finally, hot can be used to describe something or someone that is quite famous/popular:
- You haven't heard this song yet? But this band is hot! Everyone knows them!

Chuckling, Angela looked over her little brother's shopping list of bubble gum, race cars, and a puppy, and laid it aside, then,
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The revision that will correct the punctuation error in the sentence is:

2. replacing the comma after "aside" with a semicolon

Explanation:

The sentence can be basically divided into <u>two main ideas</u>. One concerns the shopping list made by Angela's brother. The other concerns Angela picking up the real list to go shopping. <u>The first idea is developed by listing the silly items Angela's brother wrote down and saying that Angela put that list aside. To start the second idea, a comma does not suffice. Therefore, we need to place a semicolon after "aside", since that is where the first idea ends. The semicolon will come before "then", which is the mark of what Angela did next, the second idea. </u>The correct sentence is:

"Chuckling, Angela looked over her little brother's shopping list of bubble gum, race cars, and a puppy, and laid it aside; then, ignoring Harry's  protests, she picked up the real list and headed for the door."
