Answer:

1. Colon

2. Comma

3. Colon

Explanation:

Rules for using a comma:

1. Use a comma before any coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet) that links two independent clauses. ...

2. Use a comma after a dependent clause that starts a sentence. ...

3. Use commas to offset appositives from the rest of the sentence. ...

4. Use commas to separate items in a series.

The colon is used to separate two independent clauses when the second (clause) explains or illustrates the first (clause). In such usage, the colon functions in much the same way as the semicolon. As with the semicolon, do not capitalize the first word after the colon unless the word is ordinarily capitalized.

Answer:

A paragraph discussing how hard it is to get students to do their homework

Explanation:

Piniforms or uniforms do affect (either positively or negatively) students' behavior and academic performance at school. But they have nothing to do with the difficulties in getting students do their homework. So this paragraph is irrelevant; and hence does not merit inclusion in the final draft of the paper.

All other options (paragraphs) are relevant to the school paper in one way or the other.

Which statement is an example of a compound sentence?A. Paolo missed his girlfriend, but he knew she'd be back soon.B. Cora hope

natima [27]

First off, a compound sentence is a sentence that contains at least two independent clauses. That tells us C is out almost immediately because it has a dependent clause, "After Maria finished dinner". Next, is B, That's a simple sentence, there's no joining method or comma and it only has one subject and one predicate. D isn't right either, it just about the same as B. Your answer would be A. Paolo missed his girlfriend, but he knew she'd be back soon. This sentence has a joining clause, and two independent subjects.

Hope this helps,
♥A.W.E.S.W.A.N.♥
