English
1 answer:
Juliette [100K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Jacinda went to Comic Con in hopes of meeting all her favorite heroes: Dr. Who, The Green Arrow, The Black Canary, and Supergirl.

Explanation:

A colon (:) is used to introduce or announce a phrase, quotation, or even list a noun or a number of elements. In other words, a colon is used to separate two independent clauses where the second explains the first.

In the given sentence, the correct usage of the colon is in sentence 4. This is because the colon is used to list the "favorite heroes" of Jacinda. And to list the four heroes, the colon introduces and lists them, with a period in between.

Thus, the correct answer is

<u><em>Jacinda went to Comic-Con in hopes of meeting all her favorite heroes: Dr. Who, The Green Arrow, The Black Canary, and Supergirl.</em></u>

Answer:

Explanation: Paul-Edward is the son of a white farmer whose first name is Edward and a Black Native American mother. Paul's father had a white wife and had children with her, and refused to let Paul-Edward have his name Edward, as his mother wanted, because he hadn't allowed any of his white children to have his name, thus he was called Paul-Edward. Because he was multi-racial, Paul-Edward faced racism, ridicule, discrimination, and cruelty as he grew up.

Positive attitude in life can make the world a better place to live in. Do you agree or disagree with reference to the poem ’Dus
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

I agree with the poem's message that a positive attitude can make the world a better place.

Explanation:

As we can see in the poem, a positive attitude towards something unexpected or negative can be fundamental to life.

The poem has very few lines, however there is a great message in it. The speaker has an encounter with a raven that throws snow on him, and instead of getting angry, the speaker changes his mood in a positive way: he feels rued and saved.

The speaker could have been angered by this unexpected event and reacted in a bad way, even this could have ruined his day. However, he takes a positive and humorous attitude.

If we all did the same with the bad things that happen to us, the world would definitely be a better place.
