Answer:

A. The ball slowly rolled around the rim and finally, dropped through the hoop.

Explanation:

Punctuation is the use of the grammatical signs to indicate correct sentence construction. These marks make the sentence right, indicating how the sentence is to be read or taken. The signs may be of the comma, full-stop, question mark, or an exclamation mark, among others.

From the given options, the nest sentence that punctuates it correctly for a pause is the first option. The sentence reads "The ball slowly rolled around the rim and finally, dropped through the hoop.", putting the pause (comma) after finally, where the change in the sentence is made.

The other options' use of the pause in the sentence, (sentence B- comma after rolled and rim), (sentence C uses ..... after rolled) while (sentence D used it after rim) are all wrong. "The ball rolled around the rim" is a free flow sentence with no need for a pause, while there is also no need for a pause after "rim".

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Which sentence describes a memoir? A. An author writes about the life of a king during the French Revolution. B. A student gives

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Memoirs are those writings by a person about his/ her own life experiences. It may or may not have a historical importance, but most of the memoirs like Elie Weisel's "Night" serves an important source of witness' accounts of the events that happened in the past.

Among the given sentences, the best example of a memoir is the chef writing "about his early cooking years in Germany and France". He himself is the writer, making it a personal account of his earlier days. Also, he wrote about his days as a young chef, writing about his experiences so as to provide an insight into what his life was before. The first option is not about the personal account of the king, the second being a student's personal views which are not valid for a memoir or anything memorable. The last option is a personal account but about an unimportant topic, a detailed description of bikes and their parts which cannot be deemed a memoir.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
