It is important to remember that commas are not merely pauses within a sentence, a mistake that is often made and which leads to writing issues. A comma is also a punctuation mark that is used to separate clauses, or ideas and that helps connect them without having to use periods all the time. Commas, according to rules, must be used in the following cases: before using coordinating conjunctions, such as but, and or for, after dependent clauses that begin a sentence, to separate series within a sentence, when you are going to use a clause that clarifies a word, or an idea before it, after introductory adverbs, such as Finally, before a quotation, when setting dates (day, month, year), when using the city-state combinations, after a freestanding word, like no, when you address something or someone directly in a text, between adjectives that modify a noun, among others. In this case, the correct answer is A, because the commas separate the main subject, Mother, the dependent clause in the middle, the main idea, which is that the subject works late and then in between the main idea and its dependent clause, which is that they eat supper at 8 because the mother works late.
In this poem by Gary Soto, the author reflects on the feelings that he has for the woman he loves.
The author tells us that he is poor and unimpressive, while the woman is much better than him. However, throughout the poem, he highlights the fact that he wants to be loved and seen by the woman, even if he is not very impressive. The last image he offers in the text is that of a daffodil and wheat. He compares himself to wheat, which is resistant, even if not impressive. On the other hand, while the daffodil is more beautiful, it is weak and often goes unnoticed, ending up destroyed in the mud when the rain comes. The author highlights the fact that his qualities might be less obvious, but they exist, and this should motivate the woman in question to give him a chance.

Tempests and storms. A tempest is a type of violent and windy storm. Wheatley uses the repetition of the word storm, to clarify and reinforce the idea that the American Army under the leadership of George Washington is one of a brutal, unstoppable physical force. The image brought about by the idea of a tempest is a completely uncontrollable and menacing force.
