What type of conjunction is used in this sentence? We arrived early,yet we could not find a seat.
WITCHER [35]
Hey there!

A correlating conjunction is a conjunction that uses two or more words within a sentence to combine two fragments or subjects. Examples of this would be "Neither Sally nor Joe could go to the meeting today," where "neither...nor" are the conjunctions, or "Not only did we snowboard today, but we also went ice skating at the lake," where "not only...but...also" are the conjunctions.

A coordinating conjunction is just one word used for the same purpose. An example of this would be "Tim was able to attend the meeting, but Sally and Joe were not," where "but" is the only conjunction.

Based on this, your answer will be a coordinating conjunction, since only one word is used to put your example sentence together.

Hope this helped you out! :–)

Should there be a comma before the highlighted word? Nemo couldn't decide if he wanted the root beer float, or the banana cream
dsp73

Answer:

Remove the comma.

Explanation:

One of the functions of a comma in a sentence is to indicate a pause, before continuation.

From the sentence, "Nemo couldn't decide if he wanted the root beer float, or the banana cream pie." we can see that the sentence is one that doesn't need a pause after the word "float" to continue from "or the banana".

A comma would have been necessary in this sentence if it contained more than two lists.

For example,

Nemo couldn't decide if he wanted the root beer float, the apple or the banana cream pie.

Now that we have more than two lists in the sentence, a comma is necessary to separate the lists.

What did Tony hope would happen when he received first communion? What really happened afterward?
Aleksandr [31]
Antonio’s intensified religious doubts illustrate the extent to which he had pegged his hope for moral understanding on a miraculous epiphany during his Communion. His disillusionment indicates the degree to which Antonio is still a child, even if he is an unusually thoughtful and morally curious one. It is naïve, of course, for him to think that the act of receiving Communion might revolutionize his moral understanding of the world, but his power of understanding and belief is still so strong that he is able to convince himself completely. However, his childlike faith takes a blow after his disappointment. After repeated failures to receive God’s explanation of the existence of evil, Antonio even ventures the thought that God himself does not exist. His faith in God is further challenged when Ultima is able to lift the curse on Téllez’s home, an act a priest failed spectacularly to accomplish.
