Answer:

The answer is letter D. correct.

Explanation:

This selection contains no run-on sentences. Run-on sentences happen when we put together two independent clauses without connecting them with proper punctuation and introductory words. Independent clauses contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought on their own, without depending on other clauses.

The only option where a run-on could happen would be letter B. We have two independent clauses - followed by dependent ones, but they don't really matter here -, "I was shocked to learn that  he had a hefty collection of hip hop saved on his MP3 player" and "I was shocked that he knew how to use the technology." However, they are properly connected with a semicolon and the adverb "furthermore". Therefore, we do not have a run-on. Options A and C would not allow for run-on's, since they do not present two independent clauses. The best option is letter d. Correct.

What is the most likely reason that Bacon calls the desire for great place “strange” (sentence 3)? A. Those who seek great place
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

B. Those who seek great place sacrifice as much as they gain.

Explanation:

For Bacon, the search for the great place is an extremely strange desire, since the great place does not promote perks, but sacrifices so difficult to carry that they often cause men to lose their ways and their goals. He affirmed that upon arriving at the great place, man becomes more servant than he has ever been, they lose their freedoms and wills and often end up losing themselves, even being corrupted.

Which of the following correctly describes an argument? 1) An emotional appeal based on ethics and credibility 2) A sentimental
LenaWriter [7]

The correct answer is 4) A logical appeal based on facts and reason.


An argument has to be based on facts which are correct - you shouldn't base your argument on incorrect information because then you will look stupid. Also, you should apply reason why forming an argument in order to make it sound sane and plausible for everyone to understand and perhaps agree with you.
