Answer:

Replacing a Punctured Rear Inner Tube–The Easy Way!

The correct use of inverted commas:

1. Tim: "Now, we’re assuming the damage to the tyre has been caused by a thorn or small nail, something like that."

2. Kim: "Yes, that’s right– something small which doesn’t require you to fit a whole new tyre."

3. Tim: "OK. So, the first thing you need is to get your tools ready.  You’ll need a new Inner tube, of course, plus pump, a set of spanners, a pair of tyre levers or strong spoons, and a couple of different sized flathead screwdrivers.

Do ensure before you start that the new tube is the same size as the old one, or all manner of problems may arise!"

Explanation:

In writing, inverted commas surround a speaker's speech to mark when the speeches begin and when they end.  If another speaker starts a written speech, a different set of inverted commas are used.  If the speech is continued by one speaker without any reporting, there is no need to use inverted commas until the end.  For example, sentence 2 above should end with an inverted comma. Sentence 3 does not require the three inverted commas within the speech.

Answer:

Austin Richard Post, known professionally as Post Malone, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer.

Post was born in Syracuse, New York, the son of Nicole Frazier Lake, from Walton, NY, and Rich Post. His father had been a disc jockey in his youth and introduced Post to many different genres of music including hip-hop, country, and rock. He is of Polish, English, and Scottish descent.

When Post was nine years old, he moved to Grapevine, Texas, with his father and stepmother Jodie, after his father became the manager of concessions for the Dallas Cowboys. Post began to play the guitar and auditioned for the band Crown the Empire in 2010, but was rejected after his guitar strings broke during the audition. He credited his initial interest in learning guitar to the popular video game Guitar Hero. Post has always had a love for emo music, and appeared for a DJ set at Emo Nite in Los Angeles in June 2017, playing My Chemical Romance at the event. According to Post, his very first foray into professional music began when he was in a heavy metal band. Soon after, he says he transitioned to softer rock as well as hip-hop, before beginning to experiment on FL Studio. At 16, using Audacity, Post created his first mixtape, Young and After

Them Riches. He showed it to some of his classmates at Grapevine High School.He was voted "Most Likely to Become Famous" by his classmates as a senior in high school. He worked at a Chicken Express as a teenager.

Choose the term that best describes the underlined part of the sentence. Tony realize that Maria was not going to show up. A ind
forsale [732]
The correct answer is D. noun clause.
The clause <em>Maria was not going to show up </em>cannot be independent because it depends on the first part of the sentence. What did Tony realize? - That Maria was not going to show up.
Since it doesn't describe a noun or a verb, it cannot be an adjective/adverb clause either.
