A comma is used as a short pause to create meaning to the words you are saying, where you put the comma depends on what word in the sentence you wish to highlight the most
in my opinion i would put the comma in one of two places
<span>The long winding road, was dark and ominous.
</span><span>The long winding road was dark, and ominous</span>
Answer:
As if merely <em><u>subsisting</u></em> according to his self-imposed rules weren’t strenuous enough…
Explanation:
The word "subsist" is a gerund that means sustenance, dependent, survival on one's own. In other words, it means the ability or capacity to support and survive by oneself on a minimal level.
The given line<em> "as if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough..."</em> is from Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild." The lines go like this-
<em>As if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough, Rosellini also exercised compulsively whenever he wasn't occupied with foraging. He filled his days with calisthenics, weight lifting, and running, often with a load of rocks on his back. During one apparently typical summer, he reported covering an average of eighteen miles daily.</em>
Thus, the correct word for the blank in the line is "subsisting".
<span>The sentence that would stand out the most would be the first sentence. The first sentence is the one that most people read before going on to scan the rest of the paragraph.</span>
I personally believe it is either B or C because it gives a huge description of something dark and spoopy I'd go with B
