Answer:

  My mother and father are both scientists, <u>so</u> it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

Explanation:

  This is a type of run-on sentence known as comma-splice. When you use a comma to connect two independent sentences you must accompany them with a conjunction (<em>so, and, but, for</em>).

  Run-on sentences had at least two independent clauses that are not properly connected.

  I hope this answer helps you.

This sentence is incorrect because it contains a comma splice. A comma splice is when a comma is used to separate two independent clauses. In order to fix it, the comma should be replaced with a period or a semi-colon, as seen below.

My mother and father are both scientists. It must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

My mother and father are both scientists; it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

If the general is also a Cossack, then wouldn't his characterization of Ivan also apply to him? Contrast this with your initial
kupik [55]

Hello. This question is about The Most Dangerous Game "by Richard Connell

Answer and Explanation:

The characterization that General Zaroff promotes of his servant Ivan can apply to himself, in parts and even General Zaroff himself agrees with this.

He claims that Ivan is a good servant and is very strong, but in addition to being deaf and dumb, he is wild and rude, this is the result of his race, since Ivan is a Cossack. After releasing this information, the general smiles and states that he is also a Cossack. With this, the general uses the characterization of Ivan for him, in parts. He shows that despite being a cultured and well-educated man, he belongs to the same race as Ivan, which makes him a wild man, inside. This is proven throughout history.

Which of these is an example of a hasty generalization? A. She likes mayonnaise, so I think she will like anchovies. B. Their do
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Hello there!

Correct answer is D: He's the president of the chess club, so he must not like sports.

Hasty generalization is an informal fallacy of faulty generalization by reaching an inductive generalization based on insufficient evidence. In this case, just one fact is given: He's the president of the chess club; and automatically we can not make a conclusion such as: so he must not like sports, because we do not have enough evidence.  The use of must not is also a key to identify the generalization.

Hope this helps!

Mark as brainliest, please.
