Answer:

1. You need to separate these two sentences - Mr. Chakota started... and They were joined... - these are two sentences so there needs to be a period between them.

... and former oDesk colleague Josh Brianlinger. They were joined by...

2. "They're going to get their books from there." - the words they're, their, and there sound the same but mean different things. They're is short for they are, their means that something belongs to them, and there shows us where something is.

3. Your files are graded on accuracy and formatting AND you're going to need to follow Rev style guidelines. - these are two sentences so you either should add the conjunction AND or separate these two sentences completely by using a period between them.

4. It's important that quality is consistent. - here, you need to use it's (short for it is) instead of its (meaning, belonging to it).

5. Use foreign language tags for foreign language speech... - this sentence doesn't make much sense so you might want to rephrase it completely

6. Please, no iPads, iPhones, or Android tablets. - here, you need to use or instead of nor because English doesn't support double negatives.

Answer: C. Frost's use of metaphor to give the apple trees the qualities of grazing animals emphasizes that the wall is unnecessary.

Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. A metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind. In the given excerpt Frost uses a metaphor that compares the apple trees to grazing animals ("My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines"), this helps to emphasize that the wall is unnecessary.

777dan777 [17]

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. The word in bold is as follows:

That is my purpose, upon the next meeting of Congress to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure tendering pecuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejection of all slave States, so called, the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States...

Answer:

The meaning of the word in bold is:

A. Financial.

Explanation:

The word "pecuniary" is used to refer to anything related to or consisting of money. For instance, if you are given a pecuniary gift, that means you are given money. In the excerpt above, President Lincoln states he is going to recommend a financial support (pecuniary aid) to certain states in order to prevent their rebellion against the United States as well as encourage the abolition of slavery.

Identify the correct sentence.

alina1380 [7]

For the first question, item D is correct because you'll need to place a comma before and after parenthetical elements: "The beach, which closes after Labor Day, has white sand."

For the second question, item D is correct because commas are only needed for a series of three or more elements; thus, no commas are needed: "I bought a beautiful pitcher and eight glasses."

For the third question, there are no commas needed; thus, item A is the correct sentence: "The music made me sleepy."

For the fourth question, item C is the correct response because commas are needed after subordinate clauses that begin a sentence: "As the band marched across the field, the crowd cheered."

For the fifth question, item D is the correct response because in order to keep from having a run-on sentence a comma is always needed before a conjunction that is connecting two complete sentences: "He works long hours, yet he keeps up with his studies."
