1Money does not buy happiness or security. 2John Ringling, one of the five Ringling Brothers of the Ringling Brothers Circus, st

arted out in 1884 with a trained horse and a performing bear. 3For over forty years, he worked hard at the family enterprise, bought up smaller circuses, and imported new acts. 4In the 1920s, he was rated as one of the world's wealthiest men and owned every sizable circus in the country. 5Over 5,000 people were on his payroll, and over 240 railroad cars were in his retinue each time the circus moved. 6At the time of his death, however, he was a nervous, unhappy man; he was also bankrupt and beset by lawsuits. 7His carefully built circus empire passed into alien hands.8All those years of work had turned to dust.

The paragraph below contains several comma splices and fused sentences. For each multiple-choice question, decide if the underli
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

After a long day of waiting in line to get tickets to popular monuments, trekking through the thousands of exhibits in the Smithsonian buildings, and lugging camera equipment in the summer heat, you might find it refreshing to take a break and see the Capitol Steps, they are a comedy troupe performing since 1981. This lively and talented group of performers offers a constantly changing musical review satirizing the political scandals of the moment. The three originators, who met at a Christmas office party for Senator Charles Percy, began their venture into political satire soon after, the current troupe performs regularly at the theater in the Ronald Reagan Building, the ensemble has recorded twenty-eight albums, which include such hit favorites as "Cheney Get Your Gun," "Duke of Oil," and "I'm So Indicted," more recently, they have written, "Barack Around the Clock." The entire cast participates in both creating and performing the material, each show is a side-splitting lesson in contemporary politics.

  • " monuments, trekking through the thousands of exhibits" - It does not require any revision, its appropriate.
  • "the Capitol Steps, they are a comedy troupe" - It requires revision. it should be written this way; "the Capitol Steps, a comedy troupe".
  • "soon after, the current troupe performs regularly"

       The sentence requires no revision as it is properly written.

Explanation:

When a sentence has comma splices and fused sentence, it means that two independent clauses are inappropriately joined.

A comma splice (also known as "comma fault") is the use of a comma to merge two independent clauses. It conveys an informal mood, especially in literary writing. For example,  "I got to the gym, Mark was there", "I think she's heartbroken, she cries a lot", "we'd love to go to Paris, it'd be romantic", etc.

A fused sentence is when a writer connects two main clauses without punctuation. For example, "It was 8:00pm Sandra rushed to catch the bus", George vowed to protect his daughter all the while he was lazing about, etc.

Which statement best describes the Gothic content of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter? An unorthodox family struggles to be togeth
xenn [34]

Answer:

The statement that best describes the Gothic content of Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" is:

D. Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.

Explanation:

<u>There are several themes explored in Gothic literature, and sin is among them.</u> In Hawthorne's <u>"The Scarlet Letter", set in Puritan Boston of the 1600's</u>, sin is the definitely the main theme. Of course, since the book was published in 1850, the concept of sin had been greatly altered. While<u> the characters in the story suffer terribly from the accusations of being sinners</u>, or the fear of being accused to be so, the society that actually read the book saw them as human beings who make mistakes and deserve forgiveness.

<u>The main character, Hester Prynne, is shamed for being an adulteress. She is punished and shunned by a vengeful society. The very man who had an affair with her, on the other hand, hides his sin, afraid of owning up to it and being punished as well.</u> For that reason, we can choose letter D as the best option: Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.
