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.

The answer is B.

For the Haida people, all of humanity came from a cockle shell, liberated by The Raven, who opened the shell. The first men and women, in the Haida tradition, came from a sea creature, meaning all men come from the sea, therefore they have a deep respect for the sea. Also, the Haida, being people who live in an archipelago, get most of their resources (and communicate) through the sea, so they think highly of it and respect it.

Viktor [21]

The answer is personification

Why?:

Personification- when a thing or an animal acts like humans
In this case landscape "listens", they don' t listen and then Shadows "holds" their breath, Shadows can't HOLD THEIR BREATH!!
