Answer: And Buck was truly a red-eyed devil, as he drew himself together for the spring, hair bristling, mouth foaming, a mad glitter in his blood-shot eyes. Straight at the man he launched his one hundred and forty pounds of fury, surcharged with the pent passion of two days and nights.

Explanation:

We need to use a hyphen when we are transforming a group of two words or more into an adjective. That is, when those words characterize a noun and are placed right before it, they should have a hyphen between them.

In this excerpt, red-eyed is characterizing devil, and blood-shot is characterizing eyes. The other options given are not functioning as adjectives to a noun and, therefore, do not need the hyphen.

Check out some examples that show when to use it:

I live in a middle-class neighborhood.

I want to live in a neighborhood that is middle class.

1 Based on the speaker's analogy, how are oceans and poems said to
inessss [21]

Both are easy to get into, but their effect is difficult to escape.

Answer: Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Jack Spicer's poem, "Any fool can get into an ocean" He has a two sided connotation all through the poem. He utilizes the representation of the sea to verse and claims that on the off chance that you don't have the foggiest idea what you are doing, or isn't a God then it won't be beneficial for you.

In the poem, He discusses a sea and how in the event that you are not cautious you can wind up suffocating or lost in it, yet in addition makes reference that you should be a God to turn out alive.

What kind of evidence would best support the rebuttal? Select THREE options.
kirill115 [55]

The correct answers are A. statistics about how many hours teenagers need to sleep; C. Statistics about the sleeping habits of high school students and D. Information about the effects of sleep deprivation on teenagers

Explanation:

A rebuttal is an argument used to rebut or prove as invalid a counterclaim, in this case the rebuttal is "While it is true that changing class times poses logistical problems, the fact remains: students at our high school are not getting enough sleep, and this is affecting their ability to learn", which is probably an argument that answers a counterclaim based on the logistical problems of changing  class times. Similarly to the main claim and any other type of argument a counterclaim needs to be explained and supported using credible evidence which can include statistics, facts, expert words among others and should explain the main points that are part of an argument.

In this case, the argument focuses on showing the way students of high school are not sleeping enough and negative effects, this has, because of this, the author of this argument could use "A. Statistics about how many hours teenagers need to sleep" to show to the audience it is true teenagers do not sleep enough; "C. Statistics about the sleeping habits of high school students" to explain the way students sleeping habits in the school compare to others and strengthen the argument that students are not sleeping enough and "D.information about the effects of sleep deprivation on teenagers" to connect the previous information to the negative effects sleep deprivation causes and ratify to the audience the importance of changing class times.
