Answer:
D. I see three new students on the roster: Brown, Brian; Jones, Janis; and Monroe, Max.
Explanation:
In this situation, due to commas using two functions may lead to confusion, a semicolon is used as a more powerful comma.
A does not use this, so <em>it could be misread easily</em>.
B puts the semicolon where only a comma could suffice, so <em>it separates the entity "Brown, Brian" and turns it into "Brown" "Brian, Jones"</em>.
C works correctly <em>until the oxford comma, which throws up the entity grouping</em>.
D is the only one that perfectly groups the three entities.
Bananas ripe and green, and ginger rootCocoa in pods and alligator pears,And tangerines and mangoes and grape fruit,Fit for the highest prize at parish fairs,Sat in the window, bringing memoriesof fruit-trees laden by low-singing rills,And dewy dawns, and mystical skiesIn benediction over nun-like hills.My eyes grow dim, and I could no more gaze;A wave of longing through my body swept,And, hungry for the old, familiar waysI turned aside and bowed my head and wept.Claude McKay uses metaphors to convey a sense of sadness and nostalgia in “The Tropics of New York.” What metaphor does he use in the poem?The Tropics it is HUNGER
