The correct answer is B. Replace the comma after persists with a colon.

Explanation

A colon (:) is a punctuation mark represented by one period above another. Its main function is to stop the speech to draw the reader's attention to what is next in the text. Its most common uses are in the explanatory enumeration and the introduction of quotes or verbatim words.

According to the above, it can be inferred that the correct answer is B because in the sentence "According to Stonehill, a primitive standard of attractiveness persists, "Some researchers have ..." " the author is adding a quote and it would be appropriate to replace the comma after persists with a colon.

Read the sentence.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is "two-thirds".

Explanation:

In English, we use "hyphen" (punctuation mark) to join two or more words. These should not be confused with "dashes", who are a longer punctuation mark and have other uses like separate explanatory phrases.

Hyphens are used to join words or terms to avoid confusions and they are written with no space between them and the words. In some cases, they are used to preserve the text's clarity: when adding a prefix (great-grandmother) or when the final and initial letters coincide (co-operate).

In this specific case, "two-thirds" is a fraction, so the hyphens are used to let know the relation between these two words instead of reading them as separated numbers.

dexar [7]

Answer:

The persuasive writing style.

Explanation:

Which writing style problem is most apparent (obvious) in Statement 1?

- Take a look at Statement 1:

"Please come to the meeting with some out-of-the-box ideas that really push the envelope"

- Recall the types of writing style:

1. Expository  2. Descriptive  3. Persuasive  4. Narrative

ANSWER:

The whole question is a note (probably from the head of sales team) to members of the sales team in an organization. The writer is exposing them to the purpose of the meeting or topics of discussion for the meeting (expository writing).

The writer is also persuading the team members to brainstorm before coming for the meeting; so as to make important contributions.

In Statement 1, the persuasion of the writer seems more like coercion. The writer is persuasive but stern about the level or quality of ideas he wants to get at the meeting.

The writing style problem that is most apparent in Statement 1 hence, is the persuasive writing style.
