xxMikexx [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Wilma will be in charge of lighting the candles; we will not be turning on the lights.

see how after the word candles it looks like something is missing? that's how I knew where to put the semicolon. It can be used as a sort of comma.

Usually you use a colon when you're listing something, or explaining something. you can look up some examples for each.

example: There are only two choices this time: fight or freeze.

The cost of bagels has gone up dramatically since the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, the number of bagels that disappear
Mashutka [201]

This question is missing the previous part of the excerpt and the answer options. I have found the complete question online. The part that you already posted will be omitted, replaced with . . .

Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner's "Freakonomics":

In the real world, Feldman learned to settle for less than 95 percent. He came to consider a company as "honest" if its payment rate was above 90 percent. He considered a rate between 80 and 90 percent "annoying but tolerable." If a company habitually paid below 80 percent, Feldman might post a hectoring note, like this one:

. . .

A. a claim

B. an example

C. a conclusion

D. a counterclaim

Answer:

The excerpt serves a:

B. an example

Explanation:

The excerpt in the question serves as an example for the passage posted above.

Feldman is a man who leaves baskets with bagels at companies for people to take them and pay for them. He does not stay at the company, however, to make sure people will pay. He would rather trust their honesty. But, if people begin to take the bagels without paying to the point where Feldman only makes between 80 to 90 percent of the money he should make, he leaves them a note.

When the authors talk about Feldman's note, the phrase "like this one" shows that the excerpt is an example of a type of note Feldman might use to increase payment by appealing to people's honesty.

When we read about prehistoric people, most of it is about cave men. There isn't much about cave
Brums [2.3K]
  1. The main idea in the paragraph is that women played a bigger role in prehistoric progress than is commonly thought.
  2. Two details supporting this claim are statues and cave paintings from prehistoric times, which represent scenes from the life of the people who created them. This art has apparently been studied by experts and seems to provide evidence of women's various pioneering roles.
  3. Women are likely to have invented pottery, baskets and gardening because they had to watch over young children and therefore were staying near the living spaces instead of going out hunting, for example. This means that they had more time to spend experimenting with tools and techniques. What's more, because they were not hunting, women were expected to help men bring food to the community by growing crops, which is why it is thought they invented gardening.
