I think the one that starts with "Raquel"

The correct answer is C. Raquel was tired; so she decided to go home.

Explanation:

According to grammar rules, the semicolon is used to separate independent clauses without including conjunctions. Also, the semicolon is correct if the sentences are joined by a conjunctive adverb (however, instead, moreover, as a result, etc.)

This implies it is not correct to use a semicolon with a regular conjunction (and, but, or, so); therefore, the sentence "Raquel was tired; so she decided to go home" has an error in semicolon usage because there is a semicolon along with a conjunction. Instead, a comma should be used or the conjunction "so" should be omitted.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

<em>The right answer is letter C - </em><em>that the speaker is able to see and feel her faith in eveything that surrounds her.</em>

<em>In this poem the poet explains why she stays at home during sabbath instead of going to church. She describes how the choir is replaced by a bobolink and a sexton, and that she doesn't need to go anywhere in particular as the "orchard"  outside can be likened to church "dome". </em><em>Emily feels her faith is not bound to any place but rather it can be found in everything around her.</em>

Question 1–4: For each sentence, identify its type (declarative, interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory).
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The answers are:

1. Declarative sentence

2. Interrogative sentence

3. Imperative sentence

4. Exclamatory sentence

5. Compound sentence structure

6. Simple sentence structure

7. Compound sentence structure

8. Complex sentence structure

Explanation:

1. This is a declarative sentence. A declarative sentence is used to give information. The information given is that the person in question took the dog to the vet.

2. This is an interrogative sentence. Identified by a question mark, it is used to ask questions as shown in the example above.

3. This is an imperative sentence. An imperative sentence is used in issuing an order or command. As shown in the example, "come with us"

4. This is an Exclamatory sentence. Exclamatory sentence is used to convey feelings and emotion. It is usually identified by the presence of an exclamation mark.

5. Contains a compound sentence structure. A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon or a conjunction.

In no. 5 above "I understood why he wanted to be there" is an independent clause joined to another independent clause "I certainly couldn’t be upset at him" by the use of "and".

6. This is a simple sentence structure. A simple sentence has a subject, verb, even other parts of speech but most importantly can form a complete thought by itself. The example given expresses a complete thought.

7. This is a compound sentence.

It contains two independent clauses separated by "but".

8. This is a complex sentence. A complex sentence has a dependent and independent clause present in it. An independent clause contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought while a dependent clause also contains a subject and verb but doesn't express a complete thought.

The dependent clause here is "If John is able to come with us" while the independent clause is "we can probably make the trip in less than one day."

They are separated by a comma.

Section 1 - Question 1
finlep [7]

Answer:

The quotation from "Young Goodman Brown" about the setting that best reflects the mood of the short story is:

B. "The road grew wilder and dreary and more faintly traced, and vanished at links, leading him in the heart of the dark wilderness… The whole forest was people with frightful sounds the creaking of trees, the howling of wild beasts, and the yell of Indians… As if all of nature were laughing him to scorn"

Explanation:

The short story "Young Goodman Brown", by Nathaniel Hawthorne has a gloomy, eerie and tense mood. Brown is a young man who, for some unknown and strange reason, is following the devil into the woods.

The setting being Salem during the witch hunt, the character values piety and religiousness. He looks up to several members of his community, having them as role models of Christianity. However, as he walks deeper into the forest, Brown begins to regret his quest. The forest changes, looking more and more wild, scary. He also sees several of the people he admires talking about spells and sins. It turns out they are all going to the same place where the devil is taking him. They are all sinners, and they want Brown to join them.

The quotation that best reflects the gloomy, eerie mood of the story is, therefore:

B. "The road grew wilder and dreary and more faintly traced, and vanished at links, leading him in the heart of the dark wilderness… The whole forest was people with frightful sounds the creaking of trees, the howling of wild beasts, and the yell of Indians… As if all of nature were laughing him to scorn"
