Which of the following sentences with introductory elements use correct punctuation? Check all that apply. At the request of the

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

CORRECT: At the request of the governor’s office, the economic science lab produced various forecasting models.

CORRECT: When the account manager returns from lunch, we’ll double-check the meeting time.

Explanation:

An introductory phrase is like a clause, but it doesn’t have its own subject and verb; it relies on the subject and verb in the main clause. It sets the stage for the main part of the sentence. When you use an introductory phrase in your writing, you’re signaling to the reader that the central message of the sentence is yet to come.

Introductory clause: After the meeting was over, the staff was exhausted. Introductory phrase: While getting ready for bed, Susan heard a knock at the door.

There are several types of introductory phrases, including prepositional phrases and appositive phrases. Sometimes a comma is necessary after an introductory phrase. Other times, the comma is optional, and there are also times when a comma should not be used.

It is important to note that a comma should always be used if the sentence could be misinterpreted otherwise.

How has intrigue around the Harding and Kerrigan scandal developed over time? Cite evidence from the text in your response

Brut [27]

Answer:

I assume you are referring to the article written by Jessica McBirney. According to this text, the scandal was both triggered and magnified by the media representations of the two skaters.

Explanation:

While both Harding and Kerrigan were excellent skaters, the general public and corporate sponsors preferred Kerrigan who was "the media darling of American figure skating". No wonder, then, that Harding would appear to be the prime suspect right after the incident - especially when the attacker confessed to having been hired by Harding's ex-husband.

Even though the prosecution failed to prove Harding's direct involvement in the incident, the media would keep on inflating the scandal and, in a way, conducting their own trial. They went on pestering Harding and building their own version of the story, completing "the caricatures they had begun building for each woman: Tonya Harding, the scrappy, disadvantaged athlete who fought for everything she thought she deserved; and Nancy Kerrigan, the elegant, natural performer who had now, in the media’s eyes, become a victim of ruthless ambition".

The stories went on even as both skaters made it to the Olympics, where Kerrigan would significantly outperform Harding. Eventually, Harding would "plead guilty to conspiring to hinder a prosecution", which led to her stripping of her sport titles and retreating from skating altogether. Even so, she keeps on denying her involvement to the present day.

The media wouldn't leave Harding alone even after she retired. They went on exploiting the story, turning it into "a universal story about competition, ambition, victimhood, and justice". From there, the story would evolve into a "pop culture trope" exploited in sitcoms and movies, across all media outlets.

It was unusual for women during Kate Chopin's time to be independent. Through her portrayal of Louise in "The Story of an Hour,"

MArishka [77]

The question given above is incomplete, the options are not given. The options attached to the question are written below:

A. It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message.

B. She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance. She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms. When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.

C. There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination.

D. Some one was opening the front door with a latchkey. It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained, composedly carrying his grip-sack and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one. He stood amazed at Josephine's piercing cry; at Richards' quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife.

ANSWER
The correct option is C.
The statement given in option C explains the new situation in which Mallard's wife find herself after she was told that her husband was involved in a train accident. It is obvious that she had been living for her husband before now and he was the one that was in full control of her will, she was totally dependent on him. But now, she has just gain back her freedom and she is now free to follow the dictates of her own heart and will and not that of someone else. That is true independence.
