Answer:
But my assurance was ill-founded, for in spite of all my coaxing, Nab only circled round and round me until I was dizzy trying to keep track of him.
(Note: There could be some definite improvements for all of these sentences. What I'm about to say may not be consistent with how other people learned.)
Explanation:
"At the sound of my voice there was a sharp little bark from behind, such as Nab alone could give when I had an exceptionally delicate morsel for him."
The sentence, "At the sound of my voice there was a sharp little bark from behind" is an independent clause; there should be no comma after an independent clause.
"But my assurance was ill-founded, for in spite of all my coaxing, Nab only circled round and round me until I was dizzy trying to keep track of him."
For is a conjunction; any conjunctions after an independent clause are fine.
"Nab suddenly made a dash so close that his flippers brushed my side. He snapped the fish out of my hand, and in the same instant he was again beyond reach."
There needs to be a comma after "instant" so that it would make an independent clause after it.
"By this time I had begun to feel pretty well exhausted, and when I suddenly thought of the undertow, I decided to swim back."
A comma should be placed after "time" to make an independent clause after.
Answer:
The prejudice shown is making a sexist remark against the female gender.
The line "Women don't know the offside rule" shows how sexist the comment is.
Explanation:
A sexist remark is when a person of one gender says something discriminatory about a person of another gender. This means that talking bad about the other based on her gender is known or taken as a sexist comment or discrimination based on one's gender.
In the given scenario of the sports presenters, their comment about Sian Massey's 'incapability' to be a referee, based on her being a woman is a sexist remark. They are making the claim that Sian was not worthy to be a referee for the game because of her gender and that women don't know anything about <em>"offside rule"</em> which is discriminatory in nature.
This claim can be supported by the very comment <em>"Can you believe that? A female linesman. Women don't know the offside rule."</em>
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. An example of dramatic irony <span>is when the audience knows that the play s main character is making a big mistake, but the character does not realize it. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer:
Ms. Dietrich will take the company car because it's bigger than hers.

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is the third option.
This is because, "it's" is properly used as it means "it is" and also the use of the pronoun "hers" is properly used.
