Read the excerpt from Spencer’s narrative. As we waited for our new football coach to enter the locker room, we all secretly won

dered what he would be like. Would he be tough but fair? Would he be demanding but understanding? Would he motivate us before each game with a rousing speech the way Coach Jackson always had? These thoughts were abruptly interrupted when our new coach entered the locker room, stood before us, and commanded our attention. "He” was a "she”! Our new coach was a female? Stunned, my mouth gaping, I barely heard what she said to the team next. How does Spencer’s use of chronological order affect the plot of his narrative? Readers are able to share in Spencer’s surprise at discovering that his new coach is female because this fact is not revealed at the beginning of the story. Readers are able to understand the conflict more easily because Spencer reveals what is bothering him at the very beginning of the story. Readers do not understand Spencer’s surprise because they had no idea what Spencer was thinking before the new football coach arrived. Readers do not have to read the entire story because they are now able to predict what will happen once the new football coach speaks to the team.

Answer:

a. Accounting always has openings; for instance, an administrative assistant position, an internal control position, and an entry-level position.

b. Her favorite day is the first in the work week: Monday.

c. Renalda speaks one language: English.

Explanation:

Semicolons separate two main clauses which can stand on their own as complete thoughts. Thus, they indicate a more distinct pause than a comma, which cannot separate independent clauses without a subordinate conjunction.

On the other hand, colons are used to introduce an explanation, a list or a quotation. In sentences <em>b </em>and <em>c</em>, the colons precede a clarification that justifies or describes the previous statement.
