Which sentence needs another comma?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

3. Our teacher Miss Allen, is very good

Explanation:

Looking at these answer choices, there seems to be two different instances in which we need commas. First, whenever a proper name of someone is being identified. In these answer choices, the teacher is being identified as Miss Allen. When this is happening, her name should be between commas. Here's an example of what this looks like in another sentence:

"My neighbor, Jennifer, is very kind."

The name Jennifer in that example must be with commas since she is being identified with her proper name.

Second, any interruptions within sentences should have commas since they are disrupting the main idea of the sentence. In these answer choices, the term, " who is our teacher," is interrupting the main idea, therefor requiring commas. Here's an example of what that would look like:

"My cat, who's very grumpy, bit me earlier."

"Who's very grumpy," would be the interruption in that sentence!

Finally, we can apply this knowledge to our answer choices to find out which one is missing a comma. In the first two choices, our interruptions both have commas around them, so they are not missing any. The third choice has a comma after, "Miss Allen," but it also needs one before it. The fourth choice uses a proper comma with the proper name, so the only choice that is missing a comma is choice 3. That sentence, if correct, would read, "Our teacher, Miss Allen, is very good."

AJennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games: Catching Fire

All hail Katniss Everdeen of The Hunger Games trilogy. If you are the mother of a pre-teen girl, you will know the whispered relief around these films. "About time. Go!" If you would like your teenage daughter to see something other than the underclass sobbing on a crass talent show, orange twentysomethings Botoxing themselves, or girls who are just "naturally thin" and who giggle when their clothes just drop off, then you will already know about them. If, like me, you simply would like to see a young woman not defined by her relationship to men, crack open the pick 'n' mix.

Clearly I am not alone. Nor is my youngest. Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games, has had the fourth biggest box office weekend opening in history. Ever since the first film came out, my daughter read the books by Suzanne Collins and we have a shrine to Peeta, Katniss's fellow contestant.

The books are neither warm nor easy, but then dystopian futures of totalitarian states (Panem, as it is called) only work when they're not so far from the imagination. In The Hunger Games, the rich and powerful control the Capitol and dress in grotesque Gaga-ish costumes while the poor live out in the Districts and are treated with increasing contempt.

This is a police state where "peacekeepers" kill and torture. Hegemony is maintained by giving them very little – that's why Katniss learned to hunt illegally – but staging huge spectacles: each District is "reaped" to find two people who are chosen for the televised Hunger Games.

So this is a satire on the kind of TV that its target audience watches. The games are a brutal contest to kill every other contestant. It is the logical conclusion of reality TV: survival of the fittest. At the centre of this is Katniss, played by the sparky Jennifer Lawrence, who is seen on red carpets in apparently awful outfits. What do I know? Every time I read these gown-downs, as I call them, I like the ones the fashionistas hate (Bjork wearing a swan being my all-time favourite). We have seen Lawrence being chatted up on camera by sleazoid Jack Nicholson, who, to be fair, is only three times her age. And we have seen her lose it in front of the paparazzi, screaming: "Stop. Stop. Stop." So she isn't just acting cool, she is cool and aware that she wants to keep her body healthy-looking, not a size zero.

The obligation to be a role model is daunting and modern. I can't remember wanting to be anyone other than Mr Spock and David Bowie. The female bit is blank – my memory is only full of girls I did not want to be or never imagined I could be.

Since then, we pretty much have a roll-call of politically correct heroines, but still have to go some way back to find tough, independent women, from Linda Hamilton in Terminator to Sigourney Weaver in Alien, or Tarantino's fantasy of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. Japanese cinema has produced some magnificent female characters, and, of course, we rewrite the "final girl" of the horror genre: in which, after several women have been raped/killed/tortured, the final girl turns the table and survives.

Lately though, for teenage girls, we have had Twilight's mopey and passive Bella Swan. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is long gone, so to see Katniss (more akin to Neo in The Matrix) as resilient and smart and reluctantly becoming a symbol of a revolution is quite something. Guys fall in love with her but she really has better things to do: the uprising. Unlike Russell Brand's fluffier talk of revolution, the movies do not shy away from the violence and executions that accompany the suppression of dissent, with the great Donald Sutherland's watery eyes conveying pure evil as the president.

Sure, Katniss is an idealised fantasy anti-authoriatarian heroine. She is also confused, stubborn and vulnerable. What she isn't is either "girly" or interested in riches. She makes her bow and arrows to bring down the system. Nothing is said about gender. She is taller than one of her partners and it's her physical and mental prowess that we root for.

Your principal

dimaraw [331]

(You can replace The Principal with the name of the principal if you want to, as well as his gender and the amount of time he's been in charge for)

Good morning Principal, staff and students. As you may know, our Principal will soon begin retirement. Although this is sad for us all, it's important to take a moment to recognize and appreciate the positive impact he has had on our school.

The Principal has been in charge for 10 long years, and, throughout all of that time, his consistent guidance and leadership has led this institution to a very successful state. Thanks to his innovative teaching methods and ideas, students find themselves in a comfortable environment where they can thrive academically. This is shown in the average scores of every individual student, which have skyrocketed during the past 10 years, and are now higher than ever. Thanks to this, our institution has gained a very positive, prestigious reputation, luring in more and more young kids that seek refined yet enyojable education.

The Principal is a hard-working, persistent man, and his admirable work ethic has affected the school as a whole. But it takes more than just intelligence to fully understand students and get along with them. I myself was curious to know how he connected with us so easily, so, one day, I asked him. As it turns out, when he was a kid, he wanted to be a teacher. But although he was a very smart child, school was unbelievably tough for him. He'd spend countless hours reading and re-reading every text book he could find, yet he felt like he couldn't grasp most of what was taught. He felt like he couldn't ask for help, either; his teachers were incredibly strict and never bothered to try and connect with students. Because of this, even when he was nothing but a kid with a dream, he promised himself to learn from his experience at school, so that, if he ever did accomplish his goal of becoming a teacher, he could fix the things that bothered him about the education system. And so, with enough time and dedication, he earned a position as a principal in this school and changed many children's lives forever.

It's sad to think about his retirement, but I hope that he will spend the rest of his life knowing he's helped and motivated many. Perhaps now he will finally listen to our advice and take that well-deserved vacation; maybe he will spend more time with his family, since he never gets much of a chance to do so. Regardless, I think we can all agree that, in the future, we hope he comes to visit every now and then to see what has become of his legacy. We will be waiting for you, Principal.

Overall, we are all incredibly grateful for your years of hard work. You will forever be remembered and admired by us, and we wish you the best of the best in the future. Thank you.
