Answer:

This is the corrected text with proper punctuation:

One of my favorite parts of the trip was seeing the “Statue” of “Liberty”. I learned that it was a gift to the “United” “States” from the “French”. On another day, we met the “mayor”; his name was “Mayor” Bloomberg. Mom and “Dad” thought it was outrageous how expensive everything was. Dad said, “Next “year we’re going to “Las” Vegas”.”

Explanation:

Rules of capitalization that helped find the mistakes in the text:

* Proper nouns should be capitalized, proper nouns include names of countries, cities, nationalities, manmadestructures, proper names: examples in text "Statue of Liberty", "United States", "French", "Bloomberg", "Las Vegas".

* The first letter of a quotation should be capitalized as in "Next" in the text.

* Titles should not be capitalized unless followed by a name. So in the text, the word "mayor" alone should be in lowercase whereas the word mayor as in "Mayor Bloomberg" should be capitalized.

* Relatives´ family names such as Mom and Dad should be capitalized as in "Mom and Dad thought it would be..."

<em>“The inflated style itself is a kind of euphemism. A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics.’ All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer. I should expect to find — this is a guess which I have not sufficient knowledge to verify — that the German, Russian and Italian languages have all deteriorated in the last ten or fifteen years, as a result of dictatorship.”</em>

Which statement is true about independent clauses? They are connected by a coordinating conjunction. They have a subject but do
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Well, let's see... I don't know what a coordinating conjunction is off the top of my head, but I know B isn't the answer, since 'independent' means 'highly capable of handling oneself'. C <em>certainly</em> isn't the answer, simply because you can see by this answer they obviously do combine with a dependent clause from time to time. That leaves us with D and A, which both leave the same term. However, I do believe I can use the word preceding <em>conjunction</em>, which is <em>coordinating</em>, to realize that 'and,' 'but,' and 'or' are coordinating conjunctions. Seriously, D cannot be the answer because not every sentence starts with any of those. So your answer is A.

The Egyptologist, who had worked with the business person, was convinced that King Tut's tomb was in the Valley of the Kings.
Ivanshal [37]
Since nothing is underlined, I am going to make an educated guess that the underlines clause is "who had worked with the business person". If that is the case, the correct answer would be D - adjective clause. It is a relative clause, to be more precise, because it starts with a relative pronoun "who", but that is a part of adjectival clauses, so that is the correct answer.
