Answer :

The following passage from Stephen Cranes "A Great Mistake" advances the plot :

C) "There was a babe living hard by, up five flights of stairs, who regarded this Italian as a tremendous being. The babe had investigated this fruit-stand. It had thrilled him as few things he had met with in his travels had thrilled him. The sweets of the world had laid there in dazzling rows, tumbled in luxurious heaps. When he gazed at this Italian seated amid such splendid treasures, his lower lip hung low and his eyes, raised to the vendor's face, were filled with deep respect, worship, as if he saw omnipotence. "

Read the excerpt. Because the endangered panthers living in the forests need large, connected territories to roam.
leonid [27]
The correct answer is D. The excerpt should be revised because it contains a dependent clause that leaves the writer's thought unfinished.

Because the endangered panthers in the forests need large, connected territories to roam.
This is a sentence fragment; sentences that begin with 'because' are typically sentence fragments, with a few exceptions (as you can see in the next sentence I wrote).

Because the sentence is grammatically incorrect, it needs to be revised. Therefore, the answer is either C or D. The only question is whether or not the sentence contains an independent clause or a dependent clause. An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can be a sentence on its own. For instance, in the sentence 'We should conserve nature, because the endangered panthers in the forests need large, connected territories to roam.', the independent clause is 'We should conserve nature' because it can stand on its own.

Because this excerpt is a fragment and therefore cannot stand on its own as a complete, grammatically correct sentence, it cannot be an independent clause. The correct answer is D, because the excerpt is a dependent clause and needs to be revised.

Hope this helps!

Why is conflict at the heart of all fiction stories?
den301095 [7]
Because conflict makes a story interesting. Nobody wants to hear a boring story about how somebody went to the store and bought tomatoes because that's an every day thing you don't need to hear about this because chances are you have done it. So authors use conflict to keep you on the edge of your seat. Some are better at this than others. There are different types of conflict man vs man man vs nature man v self man vs society. But these conflicts are the basis for almost every interesting story written

Divine intervention is when the gods do something 'against the rules' to help someone. I'm not sure what book you're talking about but a regular example would be if someone prayed while someone else was banging on the doors and the doors magically turned to stone
