This sentence is incorrectly punctuated, therefore the answer is false. This sentence is considered a run on sentence, which means that it keeps going without adding the nessary punctuation. "Huckleberry Finn was an excellent book; it told of a raft journey down the Mississippi." This is a correctly punctuated sentence.

Question 7 (2 points)<br> A mocktail is a flavoured cocktail.<br> O True<br> O False
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A cocktail is a alcoholic beverage bearing at least one alcoholic ingredient.

A mocktail is completely alcohol-free yet should nonetheless taste and be as pleasurable as a standard drink that contains alcohol. Although it is termed a "mock"-tail, nothing is being "mocked" by the moniker. This is merely a popular and catchy name for a non-alcoholic beverage. Mocktails provide several excellent choices for folks who don't want to become intoxicated at work gatherings, are designated drivers, are allergic to alcohol, are on specific medicines, are on low-calorie diets, etc. to have fun without really ingesting alcohol.

The following sentence may have an ERROR in the use of commas. If it does, choose the revision that corrects the error. If it do
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Even though the possible options for revisions were not posted in your question, I believe the best way to correct the sentence is:

Because they were relieved to have survived the arduous journey along the rugged frontier, many settlers were known to kiss the ground upon finally arriving at their destination.

Explanation:

The original sentence did not present a comma between the dependent clause and the independent one. That would have been right if the dependent clause had come after the independent one. That would have been the natural structural order for the sentence. However, that is not the case. The sentence began with the dependent clause - which can be identified by the subordinating conjunction "because". While the normal structure would be "A happened because of B", what we have in this sentence is "because of B, A happened". When we invert the sequence, we should use a comma to separate the clauses. For that reason, the best way to correct the sentence is by adding a comma between the words "frontier" and "many":

Because they were relieved to have survived the arduous journey along the rugged frontier, many settlers were known to kiss the ground upon finally arriving at their destination.
