Answer:

The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, known collectively as the Civil War Amendments, were designed to ensure equality for recently emancipated slaves. The 13th Amendment banned slavery and all involuntary servitude, except in the case of punishment for a crime.The 14th Amendment defined a citizen as any person born in or naturalized in the United States, overturning the Dred Scott V. Sandford (1857) Supreme Court ruling stating that Black people were not eligible for citizenship.

The 15th Amendment prohibited governments from denying U.S. citizens the right to vote based on race, color, or past servitude.

Mazyrski [523]

I guess that that quote said by Marmee means that Meg should develop skills and qualities which are praiseworthy, such as being hardworking, honest, and generally good, which people deem to be the qualities that a decent human being should have. She also mentions that even though she may be pretty, Meg shouldn't be vain about it, and should strive to have good inner qualities besides those outward ones.

Which sentence correctly uses commas to separate items in a list?

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The deacidification process preserves pages by neutralizing acid with magnesium oxide, raising the pH level of the paper, and minimizing the alkaline reserve. (Choice 3)

Explanation:

Choice 1 is wrong because you don't need a comma after and. You don't set off coordinating conjunctions with a comma when you give a list of items.

Choice 2 is wrong because you need a comma before and, not after it.

Choice 4 is wrong because you use a comma before and in a list of three or more items. Sentence 4 contains three items but no comma before and, which is wrong.
