In the early twentieth century, there was rapid growth in technological advancements, which enhanced the quality of human life. However, these advancements also resulted in the invention and use of deadlier weapons and combat vehicles that no other war had seen thus far. The old major was a constant witness to the havoc that these advancements in technology wreaked. This led to the major looking at all modern machinery with dismay, including the machinery that could help restore the major’s disfigured arm. The major’s distrust in technology is evident in the following lines of the story:

The doctor went to his office in a back room and brought a photograph which showed a hand that had been withered almost as small as the major's, before it had taken a machine course, and after was a little larger. The major held the photograph with his good hand and looked at it very carefully. "A wound?" he asked.

"An industrial accident," the doctor said.

"Very interesting, very interesting," the major said, and handed it back to the doctor.

"You have confidence?"

"No," said the major.

The machinery in the hospital represent the man’s vital functioning controlled by the technology and the slaughtering of the soldiers on the field of battle. The major was once a champion fencer which was altered by a war after a traumatic psychological and physical injury. He depicts his unfaithfulness in the machine to rehabilitate his hand considering it to be “nonsense” and “an idiotic idea”. The major was completely disillusion after his wife’s death due to pneumonia and deepen his fatality towards his life. By the end of the story the major convinces himself to put his hand in the machine and consider it to be fruitful.

An essay on the <em>"Roles of Technology in Educating The African Youths"</em>

Education is the acquisition of skills and knowledge. It is the transfer of knowledge from the teacher to the learner. Culture, values, norms of the society are taught in education.

Technology is the application of modern gadgets or equipment to carry out an activity.

Technology in education is the use of different learning instruments in the classroom such as computer, laptop, projector, scanner etc.

In Africa, education is mostly done using the traditional instruments like chalk and board but the use of technology has increased the interest of students to learn more. They are fascinated with the equipment and it also makes learning easy.

African students can learn through visuals which improves their cognition. They now have access to more practicals by viewing.

My favorite food is spaghetti I like it best with meatballs.
GaryK [48]

Answer:

A run-on sentence.

Explanation:

A sentence fragment is a group of words that looks like a sentence, but actually isn't a complete sentence. For example, 'I like cheeseburgers' is an independent clause. Sentence fragments never have independent clauses, but instead are dependent clauses or phrases. So, it would not worked.

A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses (also known as complete sentences) are connected improperly.

A grammatically correct sentence is when a sentence is grammatically correct.

I said this is a run on sentence, because there is no comma or any type of puntuation between spaghetti and I.
