10. d. Jason gets stage fright so he decided not to audition for the play.

When the coordinating conjunction so is linking two independent clauses (clauses that can stand alone and have full meaning), a comma is necessary. This is also true for other coordinating conjunctions like and, but, for, or, nor, yet, etc.

Independent clause 1: Jason gets stage fright and 2: He decided not to audition for the play.

11. a. You must return your first rental, before they will send you another movie.

When the preposition before is placed at the middle of a sentence and it is not an appositive phrase, it should not be preceded by a comma. In this sentence, there should not be a comma. Now, if the preposition was placed at the beginning of the sentence, it requires a comma, for example: Before they send you another movie, you must return your first rental.

12. b. I know how much they usually cost?

This is a statement and not a question (it does not begin with an auxiliary verb such as do, be, have), thus the question mark there is misplaced here.

13. a. Doing my homework, making my bed, and practicing guitar is on my to-do list for the day.

This sentence is correct as it is using the commas to separate more than two items or activities in a sentence, which is one of the many functions of a comma.

On this day, pancakes were first made. Many would consider pancakes to be their favorite breakfast food. Would you? What is your

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

I wouldn't consider pancakes to be my favorite breakfast food. The reasoning for this is that to me they are very dry no matter how they are made. You have to cover then in lots of butter or peanut butter and syrup just to get them most and to a delicious flavor. You have to chug milk after every bite as well because of how dry they are. My favorite breakfast meal is eggs, bacon/sausage, and toast. It is a good variety and all three-four foods have a magnificent flavor. My favorite meal of the day would either be breakfast or supper. Eating good food in the morning provides me lots of energy to go throughout the day but a delicious supper makes me feel full and ready to get the rest of the day done so i can go to bed.

Triss [41]

Answer:

"Same way you get to Carnegie Hall. Practice."

Explanation:

For Foster, the language of reading is an essential skill for any student, as it allows them to have a high level of learning, in addition to having a full understanding of texts, contexts, training, concepts and other forms of language, textuality and communication. However, he affirms that this is not an easy skill to obtain, due to its complexity, but it is not impossible to reach it, just as it is not impossible to reach Carnegie Hall, as long as the student practices countless times and encourages this knowledge and skill, until he or she reaches a satisfactory level of understanding.
