“They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks / and all in line dipped oars in the gray sea” (Homer 6-7).
In-text MLA citations should include the author's last name and page number when available. The citation must be after the quotation, but outside of the quoted text. The citation should be in parenthesis and not include a comma between the author's last name and page number. The comma is extraneous. In order to make it clear that the parenthetical citation belongs to the quoted text and not the sentence following, there needs to be a comma after the citation - not before.
The correct answer is B. They suspect something strange may be going on.
Explanation
According to the fragment, it can be inferred that the central theme of the discussion between Charlie and Steve is about a strange fact that caught their attention and they are going to check what has happened. In addition, they discard the option that it was a meteorite as Steve says "It couldn't be the meteor. A meteor couldn't do this". According to the above, the correct answer is B because they can not explain the event that just happened.
I believe it is B. An academic voice is used by declarative statements. Very straightforward and clear without using fancy/complicated words.
The Scarlet Letter was written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and explores the themes of legalism, guilt and sin. It tells the story of a young woman who is thought to have committed adultery. She refuses to tell anyone who the father of her child is. Her punishment is to wear a scarlet letter on her chest for the rest of her life. She is thus branded as a sinner and there can be no forgiveness for her crime. Master Dimmesdale is a young minister who tries to convince the town fathers that it is unfair to force the young women to confess her sins in public. Based on the above, the word that best describes Master Dimmesdale is "Compassionate".
