The fishermen have never seen a large sailing ship before. The fishermen are surprised to see Japanese sailors. The fishermen cannot believe that they have been rescued.

Can I have the answer to number 17 how do I use the comma is it right or not right or no
Lilit [14]
The proper way to write the sentence would be "However, no one believed rumors about the Komodo dragon either." Since commas are used after words like "first, second, third, then, finally, however, but..." there would only be 1 comma in this sentence.

I hope this helps!!

What does the emphasis on the word pretty and Dexter’s reaction to the news of Judy’s situation tell readers about his attachmen
uranmaximum [27]

Dexter emphasizes the use of the word pretty during the final dialogue of Scott Fitzgerald's Winter Dream. This is because it is aggressive the insinuation of his interlocutor that the beauty of Judy is not such, since that beauty was the engine that drove his dreams of youth. The news of Judy's situation impacts him because he realizes that he can not go back in time and that in his current world there is nothing that could interest him or cause him the emotion he felt for Judy at the time.
