The statement about contractions that is true is <u>You should usually omit contractions from academic writing.</u>

<u />

A contraction is the use of symbols or words to shorten a sentence or phrase, which makes it informal.

For example, when the phrase: "You are eating Oreos" is used and a person wants to shorten it using contraction, then he would exchange the "a" with an apostrophe which shortens it and gives you: "<u>You're eating Oreos"</u>

Therefore, the statement about contractions which is true is:

<u>A. You should usually omit contractions from academic writing.</u>

In Romeo and Juliet, another possible reason for the Prince's reluctance to follow through on the sentence of death that he has proclaimed for anyone who disturbs the peace of the streets of Verona is that he may reason that his putting of Romeo to death may ignite more feuding and simply perpetuate the hatred between the Montague and Capulet family. For, since he knows that already three civil brawls have erupted from only "an airy word" and caused Verona's senior citizens to take out their old weapons and resume their fighting, the Prince may feel that banishment for Romeo is preferable.

What is an absolute phrase? And how would i create one?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

An absolute phrase is a type of the phrase which modifies a noun in a sentence, but without being connected to the sentence with a conjunction. An absolute phrase is separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma, and if we remove the phrase the sentence won't lose its original meaning.

e.g. Her luggage has been packed, Sarah went to the airport.

We create an absolute sentence when we want to add some unnecessary detail to our sentence, but without changing its original meaning. In the example above, the first part of the sentence represents the absolute phrase, while the second part of the sentence contains the important information - that Sarah went to the airport.

RSB [31]
Go looking for more sources is the option. Writing about something you're confused about is not a good choice. Plagiarism is never the right answer. And picking another research topic is not always a possibility and it's nonsensical to just give up on your original topic.
