Which of the following sentences uses a colon correctly?

2 answers:

7 0

The correct answer is C. The first example cannot be correct because the colon simply doesn't fit there - a comma would fit better. The second one is also incorrect as you don't need to put a colon after every word, just once before the first word. The last example also doesn't need a colon, you can just enumerate these various states without the use of colon. So naturally, we are left with only one option, and that is C.

C shows the correct use of the colon. After the colon you may express a list.

You might question why D is not correct too.
It is not correct because the colon is not needed in that sentence. You are stating the four states you visited, not expressing them as a list.

What is the overall tone of this poem? Hap by Thomas Hardy If but some vengeful god would call to me From up the sky, and laugh:

rjkz [21]

In Thomas Hardy's Hap, the speaker ponders about how it would be more bearable to think that all of his misfortunes happen because a greater power has decided so, than the reality (by his perspective) which is that his bad luck in life was a result of random chance and unfortunate coincidence.

Because of his ponderance, we could say that this poem shows a reflective speaker. While some people think that this shows a pessimist thinker, Hardy was known for his realistic vision of life.

Therefore, your best answer is reflective.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: Sean is not an effective speaker because he is disrespectful of others.

Although passion and decisiveness are important when fighting for a cause you care about, being disrespectful is not a good quality. When someone uses forceful language or interrupts, he is not letting others listen to counterclaims. This is a big problem as it limits the exchange of ideas. Moreover, someone who is disrespectful can be intimidating, which reduces everybody's participation in the debate.

Select the correct answer.

Answer:

ОА. Some people think that the idea for the circus came from ancient times.

Explanation:

Based on the given excerpt from the article The American Circus in All Its Glory, it is safe to say that the writers, Joseph Bottum and Justin L. Blessinger retrace the history of how circuses came to be especially in the American context. This article delves deep into the how and why of circuses and how it has developed over the years and formed itself into the American culture.

The phrase "popular myth typically traces the modern circus back to the ancient Romans" implies that the popular belief of people about the circus was that it originated from ancient times, more specifically the Romans. But as we will read in the latter part of the article, this is not so. In fact, circuses and the very image of what we now picture as a circus is only a recent thing.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
