WITCHER [35]3 years ago

Answer:

O A. I have some . . . fantastic news to share.

Explanation:

Punctuation allows for a better understanding and usage of the English language in such a way that there are indications for how the sentences must be taken and how they are to be read. It also shows when and where the sentence ends, pause or even have a long pause, as in hesitation.

In the given sentences, the best show of hesitant speech is in the use of (. . .) in the sentence. This indicates that there is some sort of pause in the sentence, before "fantastic". Options C and D have no pause so they are wrong. Option B uses a hyphen, which is not how pauses are indicated.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

2. Match the element of fiction with its definition. (5 points)
Len [333]

Answer: 1. Setting: a. The foggy, dark streets of London, 2. External conflict:  e. Jekyll and Utterson disagree over the strange requests in Jekyll's will, 3. Theme: b. Humanity is both good and evil, 4. Internal conflict: d. Jekyll struggles to keep Hyde under control and 5. Plot: c. A doctor and scientist's experiment goes wrong.

Explanation:  The setting of a story is the time and place where the story takes place (like the foggy, dark streets of London). The conflict is the struggle between opposite forces, usually between the main character and himself (internal conflict, like between Jekyll and Hyde), society or another character (external conflict, like Dr. Jekyll arguing with Utterson). The theme of a story is the message the author wants to express (like humanity is both good and evil). And finally, the plot is the group of events that develops the story (like a doctor and scientist's experiment goes wrong).
