Answer:
Aunt Georgina warned him not to love too much or it might be taken from him because she did not want history to repeat itself, she spoke from personal experience, she see music as a life lost to her. she loves music but does not want Clark to go through what she experienced.
Explanation:
Clark memories of Aunt Georgina are all related to music, for Georgina music to her represents an aspiration she left behind. she gave Clark the above warning because she considered music as her desire but was lost to her. music to Georgina is love that is already late now for her to fulfill. she cried at the concert because she felt a return to a place that has meant a death of her desire. the concert made her remember how important music is to her. she had sacrificed her old life in Boston to come live in Nebraska. Aunt Georgina inspired a love of music in Clark. Aunt Georgina felt a regret for the music that she had lost and wanted Clark to get out of Nebraska and be successful in life.
A dash, like a semicolon, can be used to separate a new thought in a sentence from the original thought. Let's take a look at our answer choices and see which fits this description the best...
1. "I am learning about Japan -- believe it or not, it is a chain of around 4,000 islands."
This looks pretty good. The speaker is representing an original thought in the part regarding their learning about Japan, and then introducing a new thought with the statement about the fact that Japan is a chain of around 4,000 islands.
This looks like a good bet as our right answer, but let us examine the other answers anyway.
2. "I am learning -- about Japan believe it or not, it is a chain of around 4,000 islands."
This choice doesn't seem to make much sense no matter which way you look at it. Grammatical and punctuation errors abound. We can scratch this off our list.
3. "I am learning about Japan believe it or not -- it is a chain of around 4,000 islands."
This would almost be correct if it had a period after the word 'Japan', since there is an interjection being used there. Commas will always precede an interjection (or follow one if it is at the beginning of the sentence).
So our correct answer is choice 1, as this is the only sentence that correctly uses the dash, as well as all the other punctuation.
