Answer:

It was a rainy day but, Joan and I had planned a trip. Joan wanted to go to the beach for a swim. I wasn't sure if we should go.

"I think we should wait a little longer, at least until the rain shows some signs of slowing down," I suggested.

"We can't swim without getting wet anyway," replied Joan, questioning my choice of swimsuit, the one my mom had bought at a secondhand store.

Explanation:

The best option to complete the parts where punctuation is missing is a comma.

1. It was a rainy day, but Joan and I had... --> commas are placed before the conjunction joining two independent clauses, as is the case here.

2. "I think we should wait a little longer, at least until... --> this type of usage is commonly justified as avoiding confusion. The way we read the sentence without the comma changes, and can cause confusion.

3. questioning my choice of swimsuit, the one my mom had bought... --> commas are used before phrases or clauses that somehow offer an explanation or further information about something previously mentioned. In this case, the speaker is offering further information about the swimsuit.

Note: For case 3, I believe a dash is also an option, since it can come before an explanation or further information as well. Still, a comma is usually preferred.

Read this excerpt from “ A Visit from the Goon Squad.”
serious [3.7K]

Answer:Alex registers the chaotic energy of the crowd and fears for the safety of his family.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, Alex is not experiencing a flashback because the extract states "as if it had already happened", showing it has not already happened. The best answer is 'Alex recognises the significance of the moment and wants to share it with his family'. His handset is not malfunctioning, because he has "no trouble locating his wife's handset", and the description of the crowd does not lead the reader to believe there is a chaotic energy.
