Answer:

A. use of several short phrases connected by commas

Explanation:

Because in this excerpt, "I looked all around me, but I cannot say how long I remained there;<u><em> I was paralyzed with terror</em></u><u><em>,</em></u><u><em> cold with fright</em></u><u><em>, </em></u><u><em>ready to shout out</em></u><u><em>, </em></u><u><em>ready to die</em></u>." First the author describes what happens which could be a full sentence on its own, but the author decided to conjoin the two sentences with a semicolon and teh second sentences lists three or more concepts (which is one of the 5 rules of ocmmas) and lists what he is ready for.

The next hole has a windmill as shown below. Gerald decides that he is never going to be able to time his shot right, so he deci
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

86.7%.

Explanation:

Considering the diagram, the path of the tip of the blades is a circle.

Hence, determine the circumference of the circle.

C = 2πr = 2π * 3 ft = 6π ft.

Then determine how long the blade edges are all together.

6 in * 5 blades = 30 inches

Therefore, to determine the fraction of the circumference of 30 inches, convert circumference to inches

6π ft * (12 in ÷ 1 ft) = 72π in.

Hence, the probability of Gerald’s randomly timed shot hitting a blade of the windmill

=> 30 ÷ 72π

=> 30 ÷ [72 * (22/7)]

= 13.3%.

Finally, the probability of his shot getting past the blades is then 100 – 13.3 = 86.7%.
