What should be added when an adverb begins a sentence?

Let's take an example. An adverb is basically an adjective for a verb: it describes a verb, and often ends in -ly. Here's a sentence, WITHOUT PROPER PUNCTUATION: "Slowly Anna walked." What fits here?

Let's work backwards. If D is correct: "Slowly. Anna walked." This is incorrect, because this would make "slowly" part of a separate sentence, not the beginning of the same sentence. This is the same situation for C. If it were correct: "Slowly! Anna walked." This makes it a separate sentence, so C is incorrect. What about B? "Slowly; Anna walked." This is incorrect because it makes "slowly" too separate from "Anna walked." Semicolons are used for completely separate ideas, NOT adverbs. The only right answer is A: "Slowly, Anna walked." This separates the adverb enough so it doesn't confuse, but you still know we are really saying "Anna walked slowly."

What did the election of 1856 show? There was a political divide between the North and the South. A third-party candidate could

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Slavery was the main issue dividing the main parties.

Explanation:

The election of 1856 in which James Buchanan won as a Democratic presidential candidate, against the Know-Nothings party and the Republican party, shows that "Slavery was the main issue dividing the main parties."

This is evident in the fact that the Democratic party was perceived by the public as a party in support of slavery.

Hence, some Democrats and Whigs party members fall out to form new parties, the Know-Nothing Party, and the Republican party.

The Know-Nothings party has the ideal of anti-immigration, while the Republicans have the anti-slavery ideals.
