Answer:

B.

Explanation:

'Memories of a Former Migrant Worker' is an interview taken by <em>Felix Contreras</em> of his father, <u>Luis Contreras</u>, asking about his memories as a migrant worker.

The central idea of the text is that Luis Contreras perceive that he didn't had the opportunity to live an ordinary childhood, but he appreciate what his parents did to support his family and ensure their survival. Luis Contreras explains how their life was as a migrant worker, and how their childhood was spent working on ranches, moving from one place to other, and not having an opportunity to go to school. Though, for Luis Contreras, that childhood was normal but when he grew up he came to know the difference, yet he never complained to his parents rather he appreciates them for their efforts.

Therefore, option B is correct.

Please identify what type of error the following sentence includes: While searching for employment, I travelled to Shanghai, Chi
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Semicolon.

Explanation:

Punctuation is the correct use of the different punctuation marks in such a way that they help improve and make the sentence correct. This involves the use of such signs to make sentences better and also to properly structure the sentences.

In the given sentence, the speaker lists multiple cities that he'd/ she'd visited. The list includes (i)Shanghai, China, (ii) Angeles, California, and (iii) London, England. And to correctly punctuate the list of cities, we must use a semicolon in between the names of these cities. And since a comma is already used, a semicolon will be used to separate between the cities. Therefore, there will be a semicolon after California.

Thus, the correctly punctuated sentence will be-

<em>While searching for employment, I traveled to Shanghai, China; Los Angeles, California; and London, England.</em>

By his/hers movements and by the way they talk. If they are acting afraid they are probably lying. And if they are in an overexcited mood they are also probably lying
