Which sentence with an introductory phrase is punctuated correctly?

English
1 answer:
olganol [36]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

b. A popular and experienced deputy, Jackson was the clear choice for sheriff.

Explanation:

Introductory phrases are usually followed by a comma, especially when they are long (more than four words). This is so to separate the information of the phrase with the information of the main or independent clause. Option B, therefore, is the correct option because it consists o a phrase and an independent clause separated by a comma.

The other options, on the other hand, are incorrect because when two words (such as in option A and C) are separated by the conjunction “and,” a comma is not usually required, semicolons do not separate introductory phrases (option C) and the clause in option D “Jackson was the clear choice, for sheriff” should not be separated by any punctuation.

In what type of organization is sequence extremely important?
aksik [14]
The correct answer for this question is C - out of the answers listed here the organization in which sequence is the most important would be chronological. This is due to the fact that chronological order relies on the listed information being in the order they happened in time, so the order is sensitive and cannot be changed slightly without the information becoming inaccurate.
