Answer: The right answer is “I thought C.S. Lewis wrote only children’s books," said Ryan — you are adding a comma and a quotation after <em>books</em>.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that since the speaker is directly quoting Ryan's exact words, he or she is using quotation marks in order to identify them. In the United States, and if you follow the documentation style known as the APA style, the comma or period punctuation must be placed before the final quotation mark. For that reason, since the direct quotation ends in the word "books," the comma and the quotation must be placed after it.

Explain three strategies you can use to take better notes
ZanzabumX [31]

Disclaimer: Before I answer this, please note that this is based on my own experience as to how I take notes. People all have different strategies as to how they take notes, and this is mine. You can choose to follow it if you want to.

Okay, now let's get on to it.

1. Only take down the important concepts. Don't try to get hold of every little thing, since those are unnecessary. Only take notes of the portions you think are necessary to study, or else you'll miss out on the next important portion, which you'll regret after.

2. Be organized. If you take down the notes needed and later come back to review them if the notes are messy and all over the place, you won't be able to read them properly. It is completely fine to messily take notes when the teacher is moving quickly, but make sure you still make them readable.

3. Be an active listener. It is told that our minds can process thoughts faster than they can be spoken. Even though you might not understand the concept at first, listening to the explanations and the examples that the teacher might give to you would immeasurably increase your understanding and remembering the content.

These are my three strategies as to how I take effective notes.

I hope this helped you!

Which of the following is most clearly a theme in The Great Gatsby?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The correct answer is C. Immorality leads to suffering.

Within the novel, the theme of immorality and suffering can be seen most clearly in the case of Gatsby, Daisy, and Tom. Daisy and Tom are married, but are not in love with each other. Tom is cheating on Daisy with Myrtle (she died in an accident), Daisy is cheating on Tom with Gatsby (Gatsby dies after he is killed by Myrtle's wife), and nobody is happy in the end thanks to their immorality.

*picture* provide a summary of this excerpt. Based on this passage, how does Thoreau feel about the people who serve the state?
sergij07 [2.7K]
The Thoreau feel that the people who serve the state have the same worth as dogs or horses and that they should receive no more respect then a man of straw or a lump of dirt, so these people feel that working for the state rarely make any moral distinctions,and it also says in the paragraph that they are likely to serve the devil. So by this article we can clearly see that they are apposed to any form of serving the state.

I hope this helped :)
