Answer:
4). The Mississippi River, which is over 2300 miles long, is the second-longest river in the United States.
Explanation:
As per the question, option 4 i.e. 'The Mississippi River, which is over 2300 miles long, is the second-longest river in the United States' most appropriately revises the given sentence to rectify the punctuation error. It <u>correctly employs comma(,) before and the after 'participial phrase' ('which is over 2300 miles long') that involves non-essential description and removing this would not affect the basic meaning of the sentence</u>. Therefore, the comma separates or offsets this non-essential description from the sentence. Thus, <u>option 4</u> is the correct answer.
Answer: B. with close scrutiny
Explanation: In sentence two, "politics cannot be treated with levity" simply implies that it cannot be treated in a light manner or with frivolity. All inclination to make a joke of it should be avoided. Thus Mr. Emerson is telling his readers to treat politics in a serious manner with close scrutiny or great care.
Beowulf says that he will fight Grendel with his hands because Grendel has no weapon himself. They have no weapon to slay the beast anyway. 9) Consider the description of Grendel's marsh, the lake, and Herot.
Beowulf goes to fight Grendel to help the people of Herot, but more importantly to gain glory for himself. He intends to fight the beast with his bare hands, and he does, and wins by doing so.

Answer:
A. Spontaneous concerts and other spur-of-the-moment events are easier to organize nowadays now that e-mailing, texting, and social networking get information to people instantly.
Explanation:
A complex sentence is formed by an independent clause and a dependent one. That means we need to transform one of our clauses into a dependent/subordinate clause to obtain a complex sentence.
The best option is letter A. The first clause remained the same, which makes it now the main clause. The second clause begins with "now that", which is a subordinate conjunction. We have here a complex sentence.
Letters B and C joined the clauses correctly, but did not form a complex sentence because both clauses remain independent.
Letter D could have been a good option, but both sentences were transformed into subordinate ones. If you read the sentence, you'll notice it does not make sense because of the "although" that was added to it.
