Answer:

The Pigeon Point Light was named for the clipper ship Carrier Pigeon, which sank off the nearby point of land in 1853. After three more ships were lost in the same area, Congress approved construction of a lighthouse at Pigeon Point, at the cost of $90,000 (which would be well over $2 million today).

Which sentence contains an error in the use of end marks or commas?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The first sentence contains an error in the use of the end mark:

A) How on Earth did you fix that lamp.

Explanation:

The second sentence "Take these tomatoes over to Mr. Jackson." is in the imperative mood, which is a grammatical mood used to express requests and commands. It is common for imperative sentences to be finished with either end marks or exclamation marks, it depends on the feeling and urgency that needs to be conveyed. If it ends in an end mark, we may assume it is more of a request than it is a command, and the tone is not aggressive.

The last sentence is a declarative sentence, which is a structure used to state a fact, to offer information. A declarative sentence is the opposite of a question. It is typically closed by end marks, although it can present exclamation marks depending on the feeling conveyed.

The first sentence, however, is a question. A question is a structure used to ask for confirmation or information. Questions should end in question marks, otherwise the punctuation won't be in accordance to the purpose of the structure. If I said, "How on Earth did you fix that lamp.", I'd be punctuating the structure as a declarative sentence - and my intonation would be off when reading it. But if I say, "How on Earth did you fix that lamp?" the question mark at the end will reflect my asking for information - and my intonation when reading it will be appropriate.

How does Lewis describe Dickinson's life?
Alina [70]

Answer:

Emily Dickinson's reclusive life has long gripped her biographers, but Welsh poet Gwyneth Lewis gives short shrift to any romantic or sentimental readings of her choice of a great life. Dickinson, she argues, was fiercely independent and passionate, that she "had a bomb in her breast".
