The correct answer would be C.
Answer:
Native Americans passed their literature down orally, rather than in books.
Explanation:
Most Native American literature was passed down orally, rather than in writing form.
This is because of cultural reasons: Native American cultures valued oral transmission highly. Besides, they did not develop writing systems until the arrival of Europeans.
For this reason, Native American literature was not considered "real" literature until the late 1800s. Oral literature was not recognized as a valid form of literature until then.
"You ought not to think an hour upon the matter, but to spring to action at once."
The purpose of the words "hour" and "spring" is:
A) Most of the sentences contain comma splices.
A comma splice is the use of a comma to join two independent clauses. The comma is followed by a conjunction.
Two independent clauses:
1) You ought not to think an hour upon the matter.
2) You ought to spring to action at once.
conjunction used is BUT.
