The dawn clouds were gray and heavy, and it looked as though it might rain at any second as Julianne meandered to the mailbox at

the end of the lawn. As she opened the box, the rusty hinge made a screech much like someone scraping fingernails across a blackboard. Which is the BEST evaluation of the language used in these two sentences?

The best evaluation would be that these sentences are descriptive, and it uses more complex words rather than using words like the mailbox made a loud sound. Also using the extra word in "much like" helps the sentence flow because the sentence could have said "made a screech like someone scraping fingernails" so by adding much before like, it makes the sentence a lot smoother and a little bit more descriptive.

Select the sentence that correctly uses dashes for emphasis. (5 points)
Norma-Jean [14]
This is a really bizarre set of sentences, and I think the best way of finding a correct answer is through process of elimination. 

<span>My baby-sister-dropped her nearly full bottle of juice in a mud puddle. Baby-sister-dropped is wrong here. 

My baby sister dropped her nearly full bottle-of juice-in a mud puddle. Both of those are wrong, those words aren't even remotely meant to be grouped together.

My baby sister dropped her nearly full-bottle of juice-in a mud puddle. Juice-in is still wrong.

My baby sister dropped her bottle of juice in a mud-puddle. This is probably correct. </span>
