In the sentence : I cold not find my homework between the papers in my messy locker .
It states that the locker is messy, from that we understand that there are a lot of papers not only two. So we can say "among" should be used not "between".
Answer:
1. Literal language.
2. Figurative language.
3. Figure of speech.
Explanation:
1. When a writer uses words according to their dictionary definition, he or she is using literal language.
2. When a writer uses words in an imaginative way to express meanings beyond the literal meanings, he or she is using figurative language.
3. Figurative language is sometimes referred to as figure of speech.
A dash, like a semicolon, can be used to separate a new thought in a sentence from the original thought. Let's take a look at our answer choices and see which fits this description the best...
1. "I am learning about Japan -- believe it or not, it is a chain of around 4,000 islands."
This looks pretty good. The speaker is representing an original thought in the part regarding their learning about Japan, and then introducing a new thought with the statement about the fact that Japan is a chain of around 4,000 islands.
This looks like a good bet as our right answer, but let us examine the other answers anyway.
2. "I am learning -- about Japan believe it or not, it is a chain of around 4,000 islands."
This choice doesn't seem to make much sense no matter which way you look at it. Grammatical and punctuation errors abound. We can scratch this off our list.
3. "I am learning about Japan believe it or not -- it is a chain of around 4,000 islands."
This would almost be correct if it had a period after the word 'Japan', since there is an interjection being used there. Commas will always precede an interjection (or follow one if it is at the beginning of the sentence).
So our correct answer is choice 1, as this is the only sentence that correctly uses the dash, as well as all the other punctuation.
Hope that helped! =)
Answer:
self-destruction
Explanation:
It seems as if this is a self-destruction , why?" The man's
hands were behind his back, the wrists bound
with a cord. A rope closely encircled his neck." His hands being behind his back with his "wrist bound with a cords," is basically letting you know that he made up his mind, and that there's no turning back, and a rope is "closely encircled his neck," which explains that he's choking himself.
