Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavares County," and answer the quest

ion that follows.
Smiley ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'klated to edercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.
Which of the following words from the passage is an example of dialect?

edercate
flat-footed

Answer:

Explanation:

flat footed is OK. If you are flat footed (no arch), the army will classify you as 4F.

Whirling: airplane propellers whirl. This a common enough word

Punch: means a drink or being hit.

The word that is a dialect is edercate. It appears nowhere that I know of. It is used in this excerpt to mean educate.

Which sentence shows the correct use of a comma in direct address? A) Are you going to the beach this weekend Walt? B) Lincoln,
koban [17]
Only two of the four sentences contain a direct address.  A direct address exists when someone addresses someone directly, meaning speaks to them by name.  In (A), Walt is being addressed.  In (C), Denise is being addressed.  Direct addresses are always set off (separated from the other words) by commas.  If the direct address is the first word in a sentence, it is followed by a comma.  If the direct address is the last word in a sentence, it is immediately preceded by a comma.  If the direct address appears elsewhere in the sentence, it is sandwiched between commas.  For example,  "I was wondering, David, if you'd mind helping at the event?"  By the way, when a title or endearment functions in a sentence as a name, it is also considered a direct address:  "If you don't let me go to the party, Mom, I'll never speak to you again."  In your problem, (C) contains the direct address that is punctuated properly because Denise is followed by a comma.
