Answer:
The above excerpt is a good example of the many storytelling devices used in 1001 Nights except surprise ending.
Explanation:
<u>The excerpt we are analyzing here does have elements of repetition, dialogue and recurring theme. However, it is not a good example of surprise ending, and the reason for that is very simple. </u>Take a look at how the excerpt ends:
<em>The porter was so dazzled he could hardly believe that he heard her aright, but he shouldered his basket in hot haste, saying in himself, "O day of good luck! O day of Allah's grace!" and walked after her till she stopped at the door of a house.</em>
<u>This is not a proper ending. As a matter of fact, this is the beginning of the story. Readers are left expecting, wondering what happens to the porter and the mysterious woman once they reach that door.</u> It might very well be that the story does have an interesting ending, but we are analyzing the excerpt only. And the excerpt does not have an ending whatsoever.
Answer: The mistake could not have been made by them.
subject comes first and pronoun goes last
any more help just ask :)
Answer:
B. Arundel High School is on Annapolis Road in Gambrills, Maryland; it is home to the Wildcats.
Explanation:
Choice A lacks a<em> verb </em>to connect the thought and <em>"high school" </em>is not capitalized here. It should be capitalized because its name is part of a school.
Choice C<em> didn't use the semicolon properly. </em>This punctuation is used when you are trying <em>to separate two independent clauses</em>. The second clause, <em>"home to the Wildcats"</em> is a dependent clause.
Choice D didn't use the conjunction "and" properly. When you're connecting two independent clauses with a conjunction, you should put a "comma" before the conjunction.
<u>It is only Choice B that is grammatically correct</u>. It made use of the semicolon properly. It connected two statements in order to prevent pause and to make it readable.
