Answer: The sentence that demonstrates the correct use of elongated hyphens is "Gideon and Francis took a difficult - but not interesting - science course".

Explanation: Elongated hyphens are added in a sentence to emphasize a particular idea. Therefore, they have the opposite effect of parenthesis, which minimize the information provided. Moreover, elongated hyphens give place to abrupt interruptions. The sentence <u>"Gideon and Francis took a difficult - but not interesting - science course" is the one that uses the elongated hyphens in a correct way because what the writer wants to emphasize is the fact that the science course was not interesting.</u>

There are only seven coordinating conjunctions. Remember the terms FAN BOYS in relation to coordinating conjunctions.
F - for

2) connecting two items
item + coordinating conjunction + item

3) connecting three or more items in a series
item + item +  coordinating conjunction + item

A short paragraph on wasting time plsss fasst
dimaraw [331]
Why do humans waste time? We all do it. We put off tasks we see as boring or procrastinate to avoid having to complete a task. We waste time by over thinking about situations when they require a split second decision. But is this really wasting time? Some situations require a little over thinking so could it be deemed un-nescassary to ponder over other options. You could save money, time and effort by just wondering about a simple 'what if?'. This brings up the question - is wasting time really a waste?
