The sentence that needs a comma to be correctly punctuated is the third one - My mother writes for a magazine and my father edits novels-

The correct punctuation would be - My mother writes for a magazine, and my father edits novels-

This is a clear example of a compound sentence.

Compound sentences have at least two independent clauses and are linked by a coordinating conjunction, such as: for, and, but, yet, etc. In this case, they are linked by the conjunction <u>AND.</u>

We use a comma before the conjunction that connects the two independent clauses.

I'd put a comma in the third example, so - My mother writes for a magazine, and my father edits novels.

Reika [66]

Answer:Hi

Explanation:

When we walk along a beach with the

Salty wind blowing in our faces,

Children running and laughing gleefully,

And the sound of gulls squawking to each

Other in the clear sky-blue background,

We care less about the foundation we are

Standing on. Sand. Mahogany, Yellow, and

Orange shimmering in the sun like gem-

Stones planted ever so carefully in the ground.

We batter, toss, stamp and trash you, but

There are no complaints. You’re silent, like

The foggiest day in winter. When we go to

The beach or look at movies we mostly notice

The ocean. But what can it do? We can’t drink

Its water, and it’s violent to our boats.

It’s just a big pool of polluted water

That does nothing. You are what holds us up.

I use you to cool me down on hot, sticky days

When the weather is unbearable. At the young

Age of eight, I built towers that reached to the

Sky to show off your elegance and glamour. Sure,

The ocean sparkles, but sand glistens.

sleet_krkn [62]

Hello. You have not shown the answer options, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

In direct characterization the author can make physical descriptions of the character, show personality traits, passions and the activities that this character does. This is because in direct characterization, the narrator mentions the characteristics of a character in a completely direct way.

Which statement supports the claim that initially the method of printing was ineffective?

Artyom0805 [142]

Argumentation in text

One of most the fundamental things we use language for is argument. Arguing means claiming that something is true and trying to persuade other people to agree with your claim by presenting evidence to substantiate it. An argument is statement with three components:

A point of view, a claim, something we are arguing in favour of

The actual argument, the evidence we are using to argue with

A statement that links the initial claim to the argument and ensures that we understand how the argument functions.

The statement that connects the initial claim and the argument is referred to as the warrant. The warrant is thus an argument for the connection between the initial claim and the argument.
