Answer: The correct answer is B) Beast had secretly put out food for Beauty's father.
Explanation: In the story, the father enters the castle and both dinner and breakfast are served to him without a trace of the Beast. When he picks the rose, the Beast confronts him which leaves me to believe that the Beast was there the whole time and fed him. A) the handsome prince frightened Beast out of the castle. is not correct because the Beast and the prince are the same person. C) Beauty was unhappy living at the farmhouse. does not seem correct because it is never inferred that she was unhappy living at the farmhouse, rather it was her sisters that did not like living at the farmhouse. D) Beauty's father hoped his daughter would marry Beast. does not seem like the correct answer because it is not inferred that Beauty's father wants his daughter to marry the Beast and indeed, seems quite the opposite.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
B. Run-On/Comma Splice
Explanation:
Fragments are incomplete sentences. They are missing one of three main elements: a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. In the given example, the sentence has a subject, a verb, and the thought is complete. We easily understand what information was given. <u>So this is NOT a fragment, option A.</u>
A complete sentence must have a subject, a verb, an object, a complete thought. As our sentence has two independent clauses, it has two complete thoughts, it is a compound sentence. <u>So this is NOT option C.</u>
A comma splice occurs when two or more independent clauses are joined by just a comma and no coordinating conjunction. In the given example there is no comma, so this is not a comma splice.
Run-on sentences have two independent clauses, but they were not properly connected, that is no mark of punctuation. In the given example we have two independent clauses that were connected without punctuation mark or any coordinating conjunction. So this is the Run-on sentence. <u>Option B is correct.</u>
I hope it helped you :) Have a good day!

Hi! hope this isn’t too late (I’ll do three quotes)
The quote, “Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope.... I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves...” shows that Patrick Henry is addressing the fact that people still want to hope and hold on to the idea with peace with Great Britain (mainly loyalists), but he is saying that we have tried that for 10 years and nothing has come of that, so we must take action; America needs to go to war to allow our voices to be heard.
Another quote is:
“They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger?” In this quote Patrick is saying that while yes, America may be unprepared to go against the (debatable) best army in the world, but the longer we wait the worse our chances get at defeating them. We must take action now and strike at them before our odds are even lower than they are now.
The last quote is:
“Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace²but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? ...but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” Finally, this quote shows a summary of his speech, showcasing that America cannot stand idle while wanting a peaceful resolution when there is none, and that we must fight. That we all want liberty, but to hope for a quick resolution is a death sentence for freedom.
I hope this helps! (Had to look up the article, but you can check if the quotes are right)
If you want you can interchange quotes 1 and 3 as they essentially mean the same thing, but quote three has the a mighty, famous quote in it and it may look better.
