Answer:
Quotation 1 contains a capitalization error.
Quotation 2 wrongly uses 'ellipses.'
Quotation 3 makes incorrect use of a comma.
Explanation:
The first quotation communicates a complete sentence and therefore, the first letter must be capitalized('The brave men') to make it grammatically correct.
In the second quotation, ellipses have been used incorrectly. It is a punctuation mark consisting of three periods('...') to indicate the omission of a word or phrase that can be inferred from the text. It communicates a complete idea but in this quotation, the idea is not completed after 'nation...' and therefore, the readers are not able to understand it.
The last quotation employs comma inappropriately succeeding the word 'finally' as the sentence is quite short and the use of comma unnecessarily breaks its meaning. There is no need for a comma here as the meaning is more clear and precise without using it.
1. B: perceptible
2. D: foreboding
3. A: agree
4. A: tangible
Answer:
Before he was a Hollywood star, he penned numerous hip-hop-infused plays: "Hieroglyphic Graffiti," "Rhyme Deferred," "Deep Azure" — and directed others. "We know what it's like to be told there's not a screen for you to be featured on, a stage for you to be featured on."
Explanation:
In the NBC New York news article titled "Chadwick Boseman Didn't Just Play Icons. He Was One." author Jake Coyle recounts how Black Panther actor Chadwick Boseman not only capture hearts by playing famous characters but also through his own 'personal' struggle which he kept hidden. And in his life story, he passed on the legacy of what a true gentleman, a true hero he was himself.
The two sentences that provide the best evidence of his support to elevating the importance and visibility of Black voices in his art was the description of his numerous works even before he became a Hollywood star. Moreover, his statement <em>"We know what it's like to be told there's not a screen for you to be featured on, a stage for you to be featured on"</em> also perfectly send the message of his opinion and want for the blacks to be more prominent and heard of.
Thus, the correct answers are the second and third sentences.
