Hi there!
The sentence that would need a semicolon is the first sentence, Jerry loves tennis he plays everyday. Here's the corrected sentence: Jerry loves tennis; he plays everyday. The semicolon separates the two ideas in this sentence. Since this is the only sentence that has two ideas in it, this sentence needs a semicolon. (I hope this explanation is okay, and you understand what I'm trying to say!)
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
Answer:
- "This was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race."
- "... they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings."
Explanation:
1. This statement support the theme especially looking at the ending part which says, "they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race". We note that the perceived oppression they experienced prompted them to act, but despite acting they were still struggling with the alternative course of action.
2. The statement "they were far better off" indicates that they experienced oppression "in the days of Jones".
Thus, after their ordeal they were determined more than ever to avoid the alternative of not preventing the return of the human beings.
Explanation:
the answer is either A or C
The Poet uses litotes as a literary technique in the sentence That [sword] was not useless to the warrior now from Beowulf.
Litotes is a technique that communicates in a positive message through a negative structure, we can see in the sentence the use of was not, but the general meaning is a positive one saying that the sword was in fact really useful.
The other options are not correct because those techniques make reference to sounds and metrics or use of a combination of words no the general meaning of a sentence.
The correct answer is “His desire to explore is greater than his fear of where he is going”. Taken from the short story “<em>By the Waters of Babylon</em>” by Stephen Vincent Benét (1937), the passage presented above narrates the moment when John, the son of a priest, visits the <u>Place of the Gods</u>, also called <u>The Dead Place</u>. This place was destroyed by a great burning. Moreover, the Place of the Gods was said to be inhabited with spirits and demons since then. The place was described as a desolate one and nature has taken over it. Even though the place was forbidden and scary, John embarks on a journey to unravel its mysteries. <u>He does not fear its scary atmosphere</u>, since his insatiable quest for knowledge is far more important.
