Answer:

The correct answer is:

Can you please send me the confidential folder? (a.)

Explanation:

The statement is a question, which needs to be answered, and in order to write a question, the writer add the punctuation mark "?", at the end of the sentence to denote that what is being said is a question, and if it is wrtten exactly in the speaker's words (verbatim), not in reported speech.

The sentence started with "Can you", and that automatically changes the whole sentence into a question, no matter the arrangement of words that follow. If the speaker had said, " Please send me the confidential folder", there would be no need for a question mark (?), because it is not a question, also if the statement was written in reported speech like " He asked if I could send him the confidential folder", then there would be no need for a question mark

other words used to start a question are, why, how, who, when, where, etc. and when used to start a sentence in the the speakers words verbatim, it is accompanied by a question mark.

Answer:

c

Explanation:

This is a rhetorical question, meaning that the speaker is not looking for a yes or no, they are not looking for or expecting an answer. It is a statement or demand that has been expressed in the form of a question so the sentence does not need to end with a question mark.

Write a summary for the article “The Censors”
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

'The Censors' is the story of a young man named Juan who gets a job censoring letters for an authoritarian government. He's great at it - so great that he censors his own letter and gets himself executed.

Explanation:

All letters written and mailed in this society go through the Censor's Secret Command, a bureaucratic agency that inspects everything for bombs, poisonous powders, secret messages, and more. Anything and everything could be a potential signal to the Censors that the letter's sender or receiver is plotting against the government, and Juan is worried that something in his letter will implicate Mariana.

He comes up with a genius plan: he'll get a job with the Censors, work his way up the ladder, and intercept his own letter to send it through safely. He's hired easily, as there's a continuous need for new censors for reasons that we learn later in the story.

Juan quickly and easily works his way up the ranks at the Censor's Command. By the end of the first week, he's in the department that actually censors letters and is fully devoted to his work. Juan censors letter after letter, throwing away most of them that come across his desk.

One day, Juan's own letter lands on his desk. He's so focused on being the best censor possible that he mercilessly censors it and tosses it in the reject pile, which is a red flag to his superiors. Juan is executed the next day, 'another victim of his devotion to his work.'
