Run-on sentence. The sculptor liked a particular clay, he found it was very malleable.

This is a run-on sentence because there is an independent clause before the comma and an independent clause after the comma. A comma is not enough punctuation to create a compound sentence (combining two independent clause into one sentence). The comma needs to be a semicolon or there should be a conjunction after the comma.

Redundancy. The art class was amusing. The art class was challenging.

Redundancy is when something is repeated when it doesn't need to be because the repetition is not being used for effect. In these sentences "The art class was" is redundant. They should be revised to say "The art class was amusing and challenging."

Incorrect adjective or adverb usage. That photographer takes real good photos.

The incorrect usage in this sentence is "real". The word "real" is describing "good" which is an adjective. Adverbs describe adjectives not adjectives. It should be in the adverb form: really.

Inconsistent verb tense. The goalie reaches up and caught the ball.

In the sentence the first verbs "reaches" is written in present tense. The second verb "caught" is in past tense. Since they are two different tenses for the same subject, they have inconsistent verb tense.

Missing dialogue punctuation. Where are we going on vacation this year? I asked my mom.

In this sentence, the mother is asking a question. The question should be set off by quotation marks to clearly show what she said.

Incorrect pronoun case. Him and Andrea will be starring in the school play.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. In this sentence the pronoun "him" is an object pronoun which means it receives the action rather than does the action. In the sentence "him" needs to be changed to "he" because he is a subject pronoun that does the action.

Read the excerpt from Act III of Hamlet.
gogolik [260]

The correct answer is by exploring human emotions.

Elizabethan drama placed a lot of emphasis on portraying human emotions, how people thought and felt about certain things. Shakespeare was definitely one of the authors who was best at doing that, through plays such as Hamlet, Macbeth, etc.

Religion wasn't that important during the Elizabethan era, so options B and D are incorrect. And if you read the excerpt, you will see that there is no mention of political policies, so C is also incorrect, thus leaving us with A.

Which sentences use description to develop the narrator's personality? Select three options. "I live on Greene Street," I answer
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

"I remember that song, and it always makes me feel a little sad to hear it," I admitted to Rosie.

I knelt down next to the woman's dog and said, "He's a beautiful dog. What's his name?"

"You just say that because you're jealous," I said to Marty as I put my license back in my wallet.

Explanation:

The sentences that use description to develop the narrator's personality are the second, third, and fourth ones.

Story writers create and describe their characters in the process called characterization. There are two main types of characterization:

  • Direct characterization - the writer explicitly tells us about a character's traits.
  • Indirect characterization - we find out more about the character from their thoughts, actions, appearance, interaction with other characters, etc.

The given sentences are examples of indirect characterization. We find out more about the narrator's personality from their interaction with other characters. The rest of the sentences don't contribute to the description of their personality, which is why they're incorrect options.
