Which sentence with an introductory phrase is punctuated correctly?

English
1 answer:
olganol [36]3 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.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

d . he believes them to be sincere and good.

Explanation:

“A call for Unity” was written by eight white pastors who gave their opinions on Martin Luther King Jr. and his actions. They wrote that they essentially agreed with King’s causes, but not with the method of “extreme measurements”. They called King out as an “outsider” because he protested instead of taking the problem to the court.

<u>King recognized their well-meaning attitude and the ways they agree with the ideas.</u> This is why he said, at the end of the "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" he will take time to reply to them. <u>He writes about how he feels their genuine goodwill and capability for understanding.</u> <u>Although he mentioned he does not have time for answering criticism usually, this recognition of the sincerity and good means made him change his principle.</u>
