A compound sentence contains two independent clauses that are combined (or joined together) by a comma and a FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). Looking at each of these, which looks like this example: Dogs are considered to be man's best friend, but some people prefer cats over dogs. You are looking for a comma with one of the FANBOYS (coordinating conjunction) RIGHT AFTER THE COMMA, and whatever comes after the comma must be a complete sentence.
The correct answer is A. Debbie knew that studying for her test was important; consequently, she cleared her schedule for the night.
Explanation:
Punctuation marks vary according to the elements found in a sentence. In the case of the sentence presented this includes two main clauses joined by the linking word "consequently". This linking word similar to others such as however, therefore, thus or on the other hand, required a comma after it as they introduce another clause. Besides this, if "consequently" is used between to different clauses it is necessary to place a semicolon before "consequently" as this marks the end of a clause or sentence and the beginning of other. Considering this, the sentence that uses correct punctuation is "Debbie knew that studying for her test was important; consequently, she cleared her schedule for the night".
Unique means to be unlike anything else. When something or someone unique, they are one of a kind. It is often a very nice compliment when meant as a compliment. Sometimes unique can be used as a placeholder for a compliment when someone does not wish to insult the other person. If you think something is ugly or bad, you can say unique, because the thing or person can still be unlike anything else, even if it's not good.
Answer:
Victor took Victor's seat in the theater before the show started.
Explanation:
Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns or noun phrases. Instead of repeating someone's name constantly, we will use certain pronouns. We can use the second sentence as an example. It's not practical or natural to repeat Victor's name over and over again. Instead, we will start using the pronoun<em> he</em> (and its other forms - <em>him, his</em>) after the first time his name is mentioned. That's why the sentence should be written like this:
<em>Victor took </em><u><em>his </em></u><em>seat in the theater before the show started</em>.
