Answer:

A) 1. Sentence 1

B) 2. Yo-Yo Ma, who was born in Paris,

Explanation:

Adjective clauses, which are the ones that modify or describe nouns, can be either nonrestrictive or restrictive. Nonrestrictive clauses are those whose content is not essential to the meaning of the sentence, and therefore, should always be set off by commas.

The sentence 1 “Yo-Yo Ma who was born in Paris is a Chinese American cellist” contains an error because the nonrestrictive clause “who was born in Paris” is not set off by commas as it should. The revision that would correct this error is <em>Yo-Yo Ma, who was born in Paris, is a Chinese American cellist.</em>

Rasek [7]
In his essay on the growing influence of Hispanic people on <span>American culture, Ray Suarez concludes, "We ignore them at our peril." What do you think he means? I think he means that hispanic people are quite numerous in the US and their numbers have been growing and they take jobs that WASP Americans won't do like picking grapes or housework/homecare so are becoming a growing force economically and politically.</span>

Why and how was Arachne punished, and what lesson are readers supposed to learn from this punishment?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

she got turned into a spider by Athena for being awesome

Explanation:

Arachne was a weaver and a really good one. At some point, she started getting audiences that would watch her weave. We don't really know how Athena got into this, maybe she was called, maybe she saw Arachne being awesome, but we know that Arachne was proud enough that she wasn't going to give the credit of her amazing weaving to Athena. Athena comes down and basically issues a challenge to see who's the better weaver. Arachne and Athena go to work, and when they're done, Arachne's piece ridicules the gods, saying how stup!d they were, and how amazing nature was in comparison, Athena's work praised them and said how awesome industrialism and architecture was. Some stories say Arachne won, some say Athena did, and some say it was a tie, but they all say that Arachne made a vital error, she insulted Athena, and by this time, Athena was having enough with this Arachne. So she beat her up, and hit her with the weaving thingy, and then turned her into a spider, so she could weave forever. Nice story right? So the moral? Don't be vain? Don't stand up to gods? Be nice to people with more power than you? Remember your place maybe? I don't know, you decide.
