Answer:

Despite his nerves, he was ready for his first interview; he had thought through each potential question.

Explanation:

<u>It is best to put a semicolon before the part “he had thought through each potential question”. </u><u>This part can stand as a separate sentence, which is why it is correct to put semicolons here</u>, and not after “Despite his nerves” like in example B. This part is dependent on the rest of the sentence.

<u>The reason why it can also be put after the semicolon is the fact it adds the information to what has been said before</u>. <em>Because </em>Sameer thought through the questions, he is feeling ready. This is why example A is not correct – it includes the word <u>although</u>, which would mean that he was ready <em>despite </em>doing something and not <em>because </em>of it.

Example C is not correct because it provides no connection between the first and second parts of the sentence.

It burns the prettiest of any wood. is it right?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

"It burns the prettiest of any wood" is a phrase that, through allegory, focuses on the concept of equality, by establishing that everything that has the same characteristics will ultimately have the same result, since the intrinsic equal nature of things means that, despite minor differences, this difference is not seen in the essence of the thing. Thus, all those things that are essentially the same, such as wood, beyond their minor characteristics (beauty, for example) are equal to each other and therefore will burn in the same way.
