Read the passage and answer the question that follows. Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald (excerpt) "Isn't she—a pretty girl,

any more?" "Oh, she's all right." "Look here," said Dexter, sitting down suddenly, "I don't understand. You say she was a 'pretty girl' and now you say she's 'all right.' I don't understand what you mean—Judy Jones wasn't a pretty girl, at all. She was a great beauty. Why, I knew her, I knew her. She was—" Devlin laughed pleasantly. "I'm not trying to start a row," he said. "I think Judy's a nice girl and I like her. I can't understand how a man like Lud Simms could fall madly in love with her, but he did." Then he added: "Most of the women like her." Dexter looked closely at Devlin, thinking wildly that there must be a reason for this, some insensitivity in the man or some private malice. "Lots of women fade just like that," Devlin snapped his fingers. "You must have seen it happen. Perhaps I've forgotten how pretty she was at her wedding. I've seen her so much since then, you see. She has nice eyes." A sort of dulness settled down upon Dexter. For the first time in his life he felt like getting very drunk. What does the emphasis on the word pretty and Dexter’s reaction to the news of Judy’s situation tell readers about his attachment to her?
A. Dexter no longer loves Judy but still feels tenderness and pity toward her.

B. Dexter feels anger about Judy’s situation and wants to avenge her mistreatment.

C. Dexter was deeply in love with Judy and wanted to rescue her from her bad marriage.

D. Dexter was more attached to the dream of possessing Judy and did not actually love her.

Which of the following statements about the use of the comma is incorrect?
jeka57 [31]

Answer: overall i think A is your answer

While a period ends a sentence, a comma indicates a smaller break. Some writers think of a comma as a soft pause—a punctuation mark that separates words, clauses, or ideas within a sentence. Here's a tip: Commas can be tricky, but they don't have to trip you up.

Explanation: choose the one that does not make sense like for example, B.

a comma cannot separate two independent clauses unless it is followed by a coordinating conjunction

A. Use commas to separate words and word groups in a simple series of three or more items. Example: My estate goes to my husband, son, daughter-in-law, and nephew. Note: When the last comma in a series comes before and or or (after daughter-in-law in the above example), it is known as the Oxford comma.

C. Use a comma (or a pair of commas) to set off elements that are nonessential (also called nonrestrictive). A phrase or clause is nonessential if it can be removed without changing the main idea of the sentence; a nonessential element just adds a relatively unimportant detail.

D. Use a comma after transition words and phrases that begin a sentence: however, therefore, on the other hand, for example, etc. Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off transition words and phrases as well as clauses that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence.
