_2. The stars and the sun and the moon guided early explorers. Where to put the commas?

English
1 answer:

Answer:

The stars, and the sun, and the moon guided early explorers.

Explanation:

The literary device in which the same conjunction is repeated multiple times is called the polysyndeton. The conjunction most often used like this is <em>and.</em>

This is an unconventional use of conjunctions. It would be more natural to write the given sentence like this:

  • <em>The stars, the sun, and the moon guided early explorers.</em>

Since this use is not conventional, there are no strict rules regarding punctuation. In literature, there are versions with and without the commas before the conjunctions. If you need to put the commas somewhere, you'd put one before each conjunction. The given sentence would look like this:

  • <em>The stars, and the sun, and the moon guided early explorers.</em>

These Questions are from the story, "The Night the Bed Fell" 1. What details about Briggs Beall are probably exaggerated? 2. Wha
Alinara [238K]

1. The detail about Briggs Beall that seems to exaggerate in the story is that he presumes that he stops breathing in the middle of the night, all of a sudden.

James’s mother starts shouting due to a presumption, he thinks it is because of his nonbreathing in the night, and goes to the heights of soaking himself all over with camphor spirit, just so that he may revive himself.

2. The author mentions his three aunts in the story, each having their peculiar habits or beliefs.

  • Clarissa Beall somehow held the belief that she would eventually die on South High Street, as most of her life happenings had taken place on this particular street.
  • Sarah Shoaf, was fearful that a burglar would somehow spray her room with chloroform and steal her valuables. To avoid being affected by the chemical, she’d stack up all her valuables outside her room with a note to the supposed burglar that this is all she possesses, hence take it and leave.
  • Gracie Shoaf, too had a similar phobia of burglar attacking her house, in response to which she would through her footwear in the middle of the night. This she was doing for the last forty years.

3. The author says he is about to share an “incredible” tale that happened to him one night.

4. Aunt Gracie Shoaf, having a phobia of burglar’s entering her house, sets all the footwear that she owns and throws it randomly across the house in the middle of the night so as to scare or shoo them away.
