The irony about the ending <span>of the poem "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson is that Richard Cory, the person being talked about in the poem, who was envied by many because of his wealth and class, committed suicide. It was a shocking ending because no one thought he would end his own life in spite his possessions of brilliance. </span>

Answer:

Comma splice.

Explanation:

A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses are joined together by a comma to be used as a single sentence. This construction is wrong as the two independent clauses need to be joined by a conjunction to be taken as a single sentence or be separated into two sentences.

In the given sentence, the error is in the use of the comma between "de sks" and "for example...". Instead of the comma, we can use a period/ full-stop, thereby making it into two independent sentences.

Thus, the correct construction will be

<em>Most office workers spend more than fifty percent of their time at their desks. For example, they spend their time preparing documents, answering calls, and scheduling appointments.</em>

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Cereal is Cereal, Soup is Soup

Explanation:

Soup is "a liquid food made by boiling or simmering meat, fish, or vegetables with various added ingredients." So, to answer this burning question, based on dictionary.com, cereal does not count as a soup. Unless you eat your cereal full of boiled meat, fish, or vegetables, that is.

What technique does the author use in each excerpt to<br> support her purpose?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

B). The first excerpt uses facts and statistics, and the second excerpt is told as a story.

Explanation:

It also informs them regarding the increase in percentage of asylum claims as the violence left the children mentally distorted and it is this reason made around 58% to flee. While the second excerpt from 'Enrique's Journey' uses a narrative style to portray the hardships faced by Enrique to reconcile with his mother('jams his body, jumps off, etc.) through which the audience can connect themselves emotionally and elicit intended response. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
