English

Masja [62]3 years ago

The sentence that uses punctuation correctly is..

C) The discovery, which was the first of its kind in several years, caused an international stir.

Want to know why the answer is C? Look below! :D

↓   ↓   ↓

Let's look at the process of elimination -

° We know it's not A) because there are no commas to separate the subordinate and independent clauses, so it's just a run-on sentence.

° It would not be B) either because even though it has a comma, it doesn't have enough so this is almost a run-on sentence, too.

° Let's look at C) - Hmm, looks like it could be the answer, but let's keep looking at the other choices.

° The answer doesn't look like it would be D) because, just like B), it does not have enough commas to separate the subordinate and independent clauses, and, therefore, we are left with C)

→ C) is your correct answer. It separates the clauses perfectly and isn't a fragment or run-on sentence

The correct answer is C) The discovery, which was the first of its kind in several years, caused an international stir.
Which was the first of its kind in several years has to be separated with commas, because it is an appositive.

No! Living there would be a nightmare for me, I'm what you would call "mixed." In the book you're reading the towns folk believe in segregation and punish those unjustly because of the color of their skin. It's also a very poor part of Alabama based on the description so schools would be awful, neighborhoods might be riddled with crime, and community resources would be very limited or non-existent (community centers, parks, hospitals, etc). 

As for the second half, it was absolutely cruel. The parents should have kept a better eye on their children and reprimanded them for being so inconsiderate. They should have also educated them on letting other people just be since we're all different, with our own challenges.
