In narrative text or dialogue, what does a comma (,) indicate?
andriy [413]

Hi there!

The answer you are looking for is option C. A pause or hesitation.

<em>A comma can be used to give direction either to a reader or a speaker to where to take a pause,</em><em> </em>and also to make the sentence most effective and convincing. In other words, a comma can be used near the end of a sentence to separate contrasted coordinate elements or to indicate a distinct pause or shift.

Which pair of words shares the same word root? capable, readable rewritten, revision barber, unbearable inspect, spectacles
jeka57 [31]
The pair of words that shares the same word root are inspect and spectacles.
Their root word, or the most basic part of the word, which remains when all prefixes and suffixes are removed, is the root word spect. This root word comes from the Latin word <em>spectare, </em>which means <em>to see. </em>This root word is common to these two words because both of them have to do with seeing things.
