Excerpts: 1) It was the meanest moment of eternity. A minute before she was just a scared human being fighting for its life. Now she was her sacrificing self with Tea Cake's head in her lap. She had wanted him to live so much and he was dead. No hour is ever eternity, but it has its right to weep.

(Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God)

2) Outside it was getting dark. The streetlight came on outside the window. The two men at the counter read the menu. From the other end of the counter Nick Adams watched them. He had been talking to George when they came in.

(Ernest Hemingway, "The Killers")

3) She seated herself to write to her husband. The letter he would get in the morning, and she would be with him at night. What would he say? How would he act? She knew that he would forgive her, for had he not written a letter? . . . What did he mean by withholding that letter? How dared he not have sent it?

(Kate Chopin, "A Night in Acadie")

4) For the truth was, it was extremely refreshing to be out in the summerhouse after many continuous days in the main building and neither of us was inclined to hurry with our tasks. Indeed, although one could not see out far that day on account of the encroaching mist, and the daylight too was rapidly fading by this stage, . . . I remember our often breaking off from our respective activities simply to gaze out at the views around us.

(Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day)

Answer: 1 and 2

Explanation:

When we are talking about the intense and suspenseful mood it is referring to a mood creating by the writer when it can cause anxiety, urgency and intense feeling when the readers are reading the text.

  • The first excerpt is describing a scared woman facing the dead which is surely causing the anxiety mood in readers and also the start of it which it says that it is a ''meanest moment of eternity''.
  • In the second excerpt, we can see an intense situation that is happening in the dark and often dark in literature is representing that something bad will happen so the readers are waiting to know what it is which is also causing sort of anxiety in them.

Is it ever grammatically correct to place a comma after the word 'and' when the 'and' is separating two main clauses
Dafna11 [192]

Use commas to separate words and word groups in a simple series of three or more items.

Example: My estate goes to my husband, son, daughter-in-law, and nephew.

Note: When the last comma in a series comes before and or or (after daughter-in-law in the above example), it is known as the Oxford comma. Most newspapers and magazines drop the Oxford comma in a simple series, apparently feeling it's unnecessary. However, omission of the Oxford comma can sometimes lead to misunderstandings.

Example: We had coffee, cheese and crackers and grapes.

Adding a comma after crackers makes it clear that cheese and crackers represents one dish. In cases like this, clarity demands the Oxford comma.

We had coffee, cheese and crackers, and grapes.

Fiction and nonfiction books generally prefer the Oxford comma. Writers must decide Oxford or no Oxford and not switch back and forth, except when omitting the Oxford comma could cause confusion as in the cheese and crackers example.

Hope this helped! :)

It burns the prettiest of any wood. is it right?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

"It burns the prettiest of any wood" is a phrase that, through allegory, focuses on the concept of equality, by establishing that everything that has the same characteristics will ultimately have the same result, since the intrinsic equal nature of things means that, despite minor differences, this difference is not seen in the essence of the thing. Thus, all those things that are essentially the same, such as wood, beyond their minor characteristics (beauty, for example) are equal to each other and therefore will burn in the same way.

Read the following paragraph. Many Americans favor football, baseball, and basketball. However, this differs from international
shtirl [24]
Since an argumentative speech is an influential discourse in which the presenter tries to convince his audience to change their standpoints on a provocative subject. So rewriting this will give us this kind of speech: "Do you play sports? Have you ever given soccer, cricket, or field hockey a try? You might be surprised to learn that are the world's popular sports. Statistically speaking, they are more popular than typical American sports such as baseball and basketball.
