The correct answer is C. Thorough

Explanation:

In the sentence presented, the word "conscientious" is used to describe the action of being and acting carefully or without forgetting anything as the sentence explains "she was careful, or conscientious" and the conjunction "or" shows equivalence between these two words, which means the word "conscientious" acts as a synonym of "careful". Therefore, this word most likely means "thorough" that refers to being attentive or careful. This idea is reinforced by "a few errors slipped by" that show despite this woman was conscientious she still has some errors.

I believe the answer is C. thorough.

It's all about context clues. Careful is most similar to thorough and makes the most sense.

Why do you think Brian felt like the fire was his friend? (5 pts)​
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Brian feels that fire is his friend because it will keep him warm and allow him to cook his food to keep him alive during his ordeal. Without it, he would quickly freeze to death, and, if not, would likely starve because his sources of food (mostly fish and small animals) would be inedible without cooking.

Which of the following statements about the use of the comma is incorrect?
jeka57 [31]

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.
