The following sentence is punctuated properly: "I need to know whether you are able to perform the following functions of the job: revising existing marketing materials, promoting the company at trade shows, and reaching potential customers through direct mail campaigns." (3).
There should be a colon after the first clause because the second part of the sentence is a list of items (in this case, a list of the "functions of the job").
A comma would be too weak in this case because it would fail to express this idea of a list of specific examples completing the independent clause.
A semicolon would be inaccurate because they are usually used between two independent clauses when you don't want to link them with a conjunction (like <em>and</em>). They are stronger than a comma and weaker than a period. In this sentence however, the second part is not an independent clause but a list without a verb.
Answer:
The number of underage children working at factories.
Explanation:
Florence Kelly in her speech mentions that about 2 million of children under the age of sixteen works to earn their bread in America. She presents this factual information to highlight the high number of innocent children who are forced to work at factories and other profit making set-ups.
Through this data, she helps the listeners to understand the grim reality of America that most people are unaware of. She then places herself as one of the many Americans who are neglecting the issue of child labour. She connects the audience with first person point of view by referring "we" and uses emotional phrases such as 'little girls working till eleven at night while we sleep comfortably at home' and 'little beasts of burden'.
Answer:
That a lot of these were these tragedies are things that we look at as history, not something that could ever happen today. Such as the holocaust, it's unimaginable. She would want us to take away that our generation is responsible to change the world for the better and ensure that these tragedies don't continue.
Explanation:
This should be: The poem "Oranges" is written by Gary Soto and is about a young man on a date with his girl on a cold December day.
"Oranges" is in quotes because if you state an article or a book that you have read, you either put it in quotes or <u>underline</u> or even sometimes <em>slant</em> it to show that you have pulled it from a certain source. Most commonly, you use quotes. Another example of that is:
When reading "Insurgent", I had a sudden burst of anxiety.
OR
<u>Harry Potter</u> is about a series of books about wizards and magic.
OR
<em>A Little Princess</em> is about a young girl who goes from riches to rags but stays a princess inside.
Hope this helps!!! (:
