In this excerpt from Gordimer's essay, the author discusses the consequences of apartheid. This excerpt is used to reflect on how some things are admired by the white and powerful population for their rarity but are the everyday objects for the poor South because it's all they have. She concludes that image by saying "The penny whistle is a charming piece of musical ingenuity; but it should not always be necessary for a man to make his music out of nothing.".
Through this she says that the poor <em>South</em> uses candles because that's all they've got. She says that it's not that bad to live in Sophiatown (predominantly black region, destroyed during the apartheid) but that it's <em>tragic</em> when you don't have the possibilities of living anywhere else.
Answer:
Use a comma to set off a phrase or clause at the beginning of a sentence.
Explanation:
The sentence is made up of two clauses: a dependent clause which is "Although she loved her parents" and an independent clause which is "Sarah was eager to leave for college and be independent."
The grammar rule is that when a dependent clause or a phrase comes before an independent clause, a comma must be used after the dependent one or phrase in order to separate both groups of words. Here's the correct version of the sentence:
<u><em>Although she loved her parents,</em></u><em> Sarah was eager to leave for college and be independent.</em>
