Answer: overall i think A is your answer

While a period ends a sentence, a comma indicates a smaller break. Some writers think of a comma as a soft pause—a punctuation mark that separates words, clauses, or ideas within a sentence. Here's a tip: Commas can be tricky, but they don't have to trip you up.

Explanation: choose the one that does not make sense like for example, B.

a comma cannot separate two independent clauses unless it is followed by a coordinating conjunction

A. Use commas to separate words and word groups in a simple series of three or more items. Example: My estate goes to my husband, son, daughter-in-law, and nephew. Note: When the last comma in a series comes before and or or (after daughter-in-law in the above example), it is known as the Oxford comma.

C. Use a comma (or a pair of commas) to set off elements that are nonessential (also called nonrestrictive). A phrase or clause is nonessential if it can be removed without changing the main idea of the sentence; a nonessential element just adds a relatively unimportant detail.

D. Use a comma after transition words and phrases that begin a sentence: however, therefore, on the other hand, for example, etc. Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off transition words and phrases as well as clauses that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence.

Answer:

C. It suggests a lack of life

Explanation:

First of all, the other answers don't make sense.

A) It does not suggest a dislike of cabins, decaying has nothing to do with that.

B) It does not suggest a fearful community, that is just illogical.

D) It does not suggest something horrible has occurred because that isn't supported in either paragraph.

Therefore, it is C. It suggests a lack of life. Decaying in this case means worn out and not lively. Even the next sentence supports this, "rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century." The disregard of these things causes them to give off this aura of lacking life. Therefore, the best possible answer in this situation would be C.

xeze [42]

Answer:

From March to June, we can see an increase in positive cases. In March, less than 5000 people gave positive results, almost half of the people recovered, and a small number of people died. During April, there were more recovered people than positive cases, and the deaths descended in contrast with March. In May, there was a considerable increase in the number of positive cases, almost 25000 people were infected and less than half of the infected people recovered, and there were less than 5000 deaths. Lastly, in June, there were 35000 positive cases, 10000 recovers, and a slight increase in deaths, but never superior to 5000.

Explanation:

In this paragraph, we explain the graph. Each sentence describes a month, commenting on the number of deaths, positive cases, and recovers. Besides, there is a comparison with the numbers of the previous months. Also, we can write an introductory sentence where we give a general idea of what we are seeing.
