What kind of spelling error do you see in the following passage?

English
1 answer:
marin [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The spelling error happens with the word "accept". The word should be spelled "except". The error is caused by the similar pronunciation of the two words.

Explanation:

It is not uncommon for certain words to be confused with another because of the way they sound. That is what happens with "accept" and "except". However, mistaking one for the other can lead to an error, since they convey very different meanings.<u> "Accept" is a verb that means to receive, to welcome. On the other hand, "except" can function as a preposition or a conjunction, and it means "excluding" or "leaving out".</u> Take a look at the examples below:

- I accept your apologies.

- I will visit everyone except cousin Marjorie.

<u>Now, in the question, the sentence's context asks for the use of "except" instead of "accept". The speaker means that everyone but him (excluding him) made two-dimensional works.</u> The sentence should be:

- Everyone, that is, except for me.

Read "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" given by Frederick Douglass. The following passage is an excerpt from the addres
Ksju [112]
1.What about Douglass' speech strikes you as unique or memorable?

Douglas' s speech to me dictated the sorrow many slaves felt on the fourth of July even as the White people celebrated. In the following passage, the most notable mention of this idea to me is evident. "Fellow citizens, above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions, whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are today rendered more intolerable by the jubilant shouts that reach them." In the excerpt, Douglas calls the chains of the slaves more intolerable than the jubilant shouts. Douglas means that the fourth of July was a day of freedom, yet slaves in America were still present and were saddened by the day as it symbolised the lie that was independence day.
