English

6 0

Answer:

4). The Mississippi River, which is over 2300 miles long, is the second-longest river in the United States.

Explanation:

As per the question, option 4 i.e. 'The Mississippi River, which is over 2300 miles long, is the second-longest river in the United States' most appropriately revises the given sentence to rectify the punctuation error. It <u>correctly employs comma(,) before and the after 'participial phrase' ('which is over 2300 miles long') that involves non-essential description and removing this would not affect the basic meaning of the sentence</u>. Therefore, the comma separates or offsets this non-essential description from the sentence. Thus, <u>option 4</u> is the correct answer.

Why is it remarkable the Gatsby has real books in his library?<br><br> The Great Gatsby chapter 3
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Nick Caraway meets the man with the enormous owl-eyed spectacles in Jay Gatsby's library, during one of Jay's parties. Nick and Jordan had politely left their company to find Jay. ... This is the reason why the man with the spectacles is so surprised that the books are actually genuine. He expected them to be fake.

Explanation:

Gatsby's saving grace is that the books and the library are not to show off to everybody - just Daisy. They, like the wealth which has bought them, are merely a means to an end: his dream of winning Daisy back. So the books symbolize Gatsby's vision of himself and his dream but also the fact that they lack true depth.

Which is the best correction of the clause fragment?
Kitty [74]
Hello, the correct answer would be either A or D. B cannot be correct because it still remains a fragment. The same case is with C. A might be correct in the following sense: Since, they had traveled often. "Since" meaning - after that. And D might also be correct because if you delete "since", you are left with - "They had traveled often", which is a completely correct and completed sentence.

What is a real life example of the slippery slope fallacy? (If possible could you please provide a source as well?)
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

A slippery slope fallacy simply has to do with making claims about several events which eventually leads to a bad result in the end.

A good example is the legalization of prostitution. When this is done, there'll be an increase in divorce and this also leads to the breakdown of the family affected. This shows how a series of events led to an awkward outing in the end.
