Answer:

True.

Explanation:

When independent clauses are joined incorrectly (with improper punctuation or conjunction), we have what is called a run-on sentence. An independent clause is a group of words that can stay alone as a sentence, which means it offers information that makes sense without the help of another sentence.

A sentence fragment is basically an incomplete sentence. That means it is a phrase that is missing a key element, such as a verb or a subject, or a phrase that is dependent on a main clause but has been detached from it through wrong punctuation.

The sentence "After falling to the warm, damp forest floor, plants decay and release nutrients" is complete, and the punctuation is used appropriately. It might look confusing at first since the main clause came after the subordinate one. If we invert the clauses, we'll see there is no problem with the sentence - note that a comma will disappear now that the main clause comes first:

Plants decay and release nutrients after falling to the warm, damp forest floor.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

He makes a concession about imperialism, showing both sides of the argument.

He uses an appeal to emotion with words like honor and sacrifice to stir nationalism.

He cites evidence of winning the recent war to show that people still sacrifice for the empire.

Explanation:

Joseph Chamberlain presents his argument with emotions, evidence and logic. He presents the picture of both sides of the argument and builds a thinking among the audience about imperialism. He also tries to bring emotion and encourage the sense of nationalism among the audience. The use of certain words helps him to make his argument more appealing to the audience. He also had provided the example of sacrifice from the people's end that had brought good results in the past. By doing so he presents his argument with more zeal and appeal.
