Answer:

In contrast to reading the scene, seeing the staged version of the scene would improve its aesthetic impact by allowing the audience to <em><u>watch the actors' reactions, thereby adding to the humor.</u></em>

Explanation:

Oscar Wilde's comedy play "The Importance of Being Ernest" revolves around the character of John Worthing and Algernon and the issue of class. The other themes in the play include marriage, social expectations, the ridiculousness or triviality of things deemed important, etc.

In the given excerpt from the play, we can see the scene where the two couples were 'showing affection' to their respective loves but then came Merriman and Lady Bracknell. It was then that the couples had to hurriedly stop their "public display of affection". And <em><u>in contrast to reading this scene, a staged or performed version would improve the aesthetic impact as it will allow the audience to see how the actors/ characters react, adding to the humor of the whole scene.</u></em>

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

scoray [572]
<span>From the nipa huts in Batanes (northernmist part) to the colorful balangays in Tawi-Tawi (southern most part) comes an archipelagic country rich in culture, tradition, language, religion and of course the Filipinos. The tourist destinations are very affordable accompanied with good, eccentric music and hospitable companionship of the Pinoys. There is no other nicer experience of getting lost in the country full of beauty. Not to mention, the food is a slice of heaven, depending on your taste of course! It is always more fun in the Philippines.</span>

Questions 1–9: Identify the conjunctions in the following sentences. Label each one as coordinating, correlative, or subordinati
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Your answer would be as follows:

1) Coordinating conjunction (but)

2) Coordinating conjunction (and)

3) Subordinating conjunction (provided that)

4) Subordinating conjuction (because) and correlative conjunction (either or)

5) Subordinating conjunction (if)

6) Subordinating conjunction (unless)

7) Correlative conjunction (both ... and ...)

8) Subordinating conjuntion (since)

9) Subordinating conjunction (although)

10) Wow, what are we going to do ? (wow)

11) Goodness, we'll have to wait for Ann Marie (goodness)

12)Well, why did you do such a thing? (well)

13) Oh Elizabeth!, please forgive me (oh)

14) Oh forget it, we're late already (oh)

Explanation:

A conjunction is a word that joins words, phrases, clauses or sentences. There are three types of conjunctions: coordinating, correlative, or subordinating.

Coordinating conjunctions join words, phrases or clauses which have similar grammatical structure (1; 2). On the contrary, subordinating conjunctions join a subordinate (dependent clause) to a main (independent clause). This is the case of 3; 4; 5; 6; 8 and 9.  Finally, correlative conjunctions are paired words since they join words, phrases or clauses which have a reciprocal or complementary relationship (4; 7).

As regards the second part of the question, an interjection is a word or phrase which is grammatically independent fron the words around it, and expresses feeling rather than meaning. As you can see (10; 12; 13 & 14), the interjections in the sentences are all set off with commas from the rest of the sentences. The word following the comma shall not begin with a capital letter because the interjection and this word are part of the same sentence.
