Answer:

"Cork hats and newspapers of more than eight pages were invented for the rain."

Explanation:

This is the statement that most clearly uses a comical tone. In this statement, we see that the speaker talks about items that can be used to protect yourself from the rain. Naturally, we expect that the first item he will mention is the umbrella. However, the author instead talks about objects we might consider random, such as cork hats and thick newspapers as designed to protect you from the rain. This creates a comical tone.

Answer:

Quotation 1 contains a capitalization error.

Quotation 2 wrongly uses 'ellipses.'

Quotation 3 makes incorrect use of a comma.

Explanation:

The first quotation communicates a complete sentence and therefore, the first letter must be capitalized('The brave men') to make it grammatically correct.

In the second quotation, ellipses have been used incorrectly. It is a punctuation mark consisting of three periods('...') to indicate the omission of a word or phrase that can be inferred from the text. It communicates a complete idea but in this quotation, the idea is not completed after 'nation...' and therefore, the readers are not able to understand it.

The last quotation employs comma inappropriately succeeding the word 'finally' as the sentence is quite short and the use of comma unnecessarily breaks its meaning. There is no need for a comma here as the meaning is more clear and precise without using it.

In the short story "Sol, Painting Inc" by Meg Medina, how does Merci's feeling about her father change in the course of the stor

Answer:

Find explanation below.

Explanation:

In the short story. "Sol, Painting Inc.", by Meg Medina, Merci was presented as a young girl who was to start seventh grade at a school she did not like namely, Seaward Pines. She was reported as not getting along with her father in the earlier part of the book. This can be proven from the statement:

"Mami: She has no vision. No wonder she and Papi don’t get along".

In the later part of the book, however, Mami said that the only condition she would agree to, before she could go to Seaward Pines was being an apprentice for her father. While they were painting a school (Seaward Pines), some high school girls threw their paints on the floor and destroyed their work. Merci lashed out at them but her father kept quiet. This annoyed Merci because she expected her father to defend her and lash out at the girls.

Roli, her brother however explained that her father did not want to embarrass her, reason while he kept calm. We see this from his statement:

"Papi chose to be invisible today so you won't ever have to be,"

This later softened Merci's disposition towards her father.
