Answer: a. One fine evening
Explanation:
When the element of time is used to describe a setting, it means the events occurred in a certain time period.
By using the phrase, ''one fine evening'', the narrator is using a time element that shows that the setting of the story is in the evening which is a time period that denotes a certain amount of hours in the day thereby giving the reader a sense of the time the events of the excerpt occurred.
Sentence C. The word diligence is an abstract noun because it is a state of being rather than an object.
The best answer is:
<span>"General Barker bustled about the house like a woman preparing Thanksgiving dinner for twenty."
Comparing General Barker, a man in one of the most masculine professions there are, and preparing for a demonstration of an incredibly powerful weapon of mass destruction, to a woman preparing for Thanksgiving Dinner is ironic in its great contrast between the subject and what he's being compared to. </span>
<span>"I remember when my cousin and I would play at the park everyday. It was as if the park was our home. We felt more at home at the park than at home. Home life was rough like sandpaper for us."</span>
The sentence that is punctuated correctly is, We need to add these ingredients: baking soda, brown sugar, and salt. The correct answer is option D. The punctuation mark, colon (:) is used to introduce a series of items. But, there is a rule to be considered when to use a colon. Never use a colon if a verb or a preposition follows it. In the correct sentence, the word that precedes the colon is a noun, which makes the sentence correctly punctuated.
