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.

iris [78.8K]
Paraphrasing isn't that as simple as it might be. It might be just as easy as pie for some people, but some would have it as like walking into a park, a Jurassic Park that is.

In this presented problem, it would be accurate to paraphrase them to terms and words that would most likely represent a whole phrase or clause. This is one of the many basics of paraphrasing.

So for a paraphrase of the given sentence, the paraphrase would be: "As she was writing, she had moments of thoughts between words and sentences."

Or

"She was, stuck in an interval, thinking as she was writing them down"

Or

"Occasionally stopping while she is writing is her thing"

and so on.

Vonnegut uses satire to expose which societal folly?
alexandr1967 [171]
<span>One needs to look now farther than the first paragraph to realize that Vonnegut's tale is laced with irony and satire.  The strongest hint is when he mentions that there are over 100 ammendments in the Constitution.  All these ammendments are designed to make society "perfect."  Later on George and his wife Hazel are discussing how George's handicaps, the bags of birdshot tied to his legs, are terribly inconvenient and painful.  Hazel suggests George break a law and remove the bags since he isn't competing against anyone at home.  George replies that if he broke the law so would others and they'd end up right back in the "Dark Ages".  These examples depict there is no such thing as a perfect society.  Equality (in looks, strength, intelligence, etc.) does not bring about perfection and competition is essential for a thriving economy.  In every society there are winners and losers.  There is no way around that.</span>
