Answer:

The correctly punctuated sentence is:

Juan plans to travel from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Boulder, Colorado, for business.

Explanation:

Commas are punctuation marks used to show a brief pause or break in transition in a sentence. There are some rules to observe when using a comma, starting with the rule obeyed in the answering of this question, I will briefly explain them.

1. Commas are used to set off all geographical names: in the sentence; 'Juan plans to travel from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Boulder, Colorado, for business', after 'Santa Fe', there is the introduction of a geographical name 'New Mexico', and by the rule, it is preceded by a comma. The same rule is observed with 'Boulder', introducing 'Colorado'. Also the use of a comma after 'Colorado' before 'for' is important, because it tells a change in transition, from naming a place, to the reason for going there, without which the phrase 'Colorado for business' will be considered just as one idea (the name of a place)

Other rules of using commas include:

a. commas are used to separate two or more independent clauses, when they are joined by the conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, or yet. Example, We wanted to come over but, the rain was heavy.

b. commas are used after introductory clauses, phrases, or words coming before the main sentence, e.g. Moreover, we still did it.

c. commas are used to set off and to end non-essential parts of a sentence. E.g. The big house, which was built long ago, was demolished.

d. commas are used to separate contrasting coordinating elements in a sentence to show a distinct pause or shift.

Example, Although he recently has an accident, he ran fast.

I suggest you check out the other rules of using comma, to help your understanding.

Answer:

Juan plans to travel from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to Boulder, Colorado, for business.

Explanation:

The sentence allows a reader to pause and emphasize words and phrases. Each phrase is separated and emphasized distinctly. This prevents a run-on sentence that confuses readers.

Firlakuza [10]
<span>Daisy was in a relationship with Gatsby at an early age. He has been gone for 10 years and she had thought he died in WW1. Gatsby was Daisy's first love and she had put him and their relationship on a pedestal. At first their is disbelief that Gatsby is in fact not dead but alive. She is madly in love with him and does not understand how he is still alive and is enraptured by the enigma and mysterious circumstances his appearance has brought into her life. After the death of Myrtle Wilson, Daisy is able to return back to her normal life. The ease in which she is able to actually do this is testament to the societal views towards women at the time. Women were viewed as helpless and Daisy was probably thought incapable of a vicious murder so the police did not pursue an indictment. Her husband was also a powerful businessman and must have certainly had clout in the political sphere.</span>

what is the significance of antigone final act? what does this act suggest about the connections between family and fate?
icang [17]

Answer:

The last act of the play is significant as it shows how a proud and confident king was brought low by his fate.

This last act suggests that Creon's refusal to accept his fate lead to the death of his own family, and before he could undone what he has done, it was too late.

Explanation:

Antigone is a play written by Sophocles. The play begins with the death of two brothers, who killed each other because of the curse spelled upon them by their father, Odepius.

After the death of two brothers, the throne came under their uncle Creon, who ordered not to bury Polynices's body but to be left on the battle ground.

Creon was a proud and confident king, who refused to accept his fate.  The last act of the play is significant to portray that even a king like Creon, who is proud and confident is brought low by his fate. No one can change his/her fate.

The last act also describes how in his quest to overcome his fate and refusal of the same led to the death of his family. By the time Creon accepts his fate, he had already lost his family. Antigone and Haemon committed su-ic-ide. This also suggests that one's refusal to accept his/her own fate and quest to change it have it's consequence upon his/her family as well.
