Which of these words is an endocentric compound?

English
1 answer:
DanielleElmas [232]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Most compounds in English are endocentric, that is, one of the elements (typically the right-hand element) is the head of the construction. Headedness is shown most clearly by hyponymy: the compound as a whole is a hyponym of its head. For example, traffic-light is a hyponym of light, but not a hyponym of traffic.

Explanation:

Therefore bittersweet would be your endocentric compound. Because something can't be bitter while being sweet.

Colons are not used to introduce __________. lists omissions appostives long quotations
Alecsey [184]
Colons are not used to introduce lists.  

Colons denote "that is to say" or "here's what I mean."

They make sentences’ first parts not important rather the sentence’s second part contains the important information.

Here are some of the rules you could use for colons:

*Colons are uses upon introducing items.
*Do not use capital letters after a colon except if it’s a proper noun.
*Do not use colons after a verb or preposition.
*For independent clauses, especially when the second sentence explains the paragraph’s meaning, the use of colon is preferred.
*After a colon: capitalize the first letter of the first word if it is a complete quotation. <span> </span>
