Answer:

People use the lights to brighten and mask the dreariness of their lives.

Explanation:

It is in a very depressing tone that Sara Teasdale finishes her poem "Lights", it is written in a time where lights represented a certain status in life, a certain wealth, and is written from the perspective of a person that has no lights in her home and that refugees in the love that her family can bring when the darkness comes, she states that they are shielding themselves from the dark with the lights to mask the drearines of their lives.

<em>"But to us standing here there comes the stark</em>

<em>Sense of the lives behind each yellow light,</em>

<em>And not one wholly joyous, proud, or free. "</em>

And not one with wholly joyous, proud, or free, that is where she states the dreariness , ot hollowness of those lights.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Sarah, Matt's wife, works as a business software developer.

Explanation:

The noun Sarah preceding the appositive Matt's wife provides sufficient identification on its own, so we have to use commas around the appositive.

These sentences are written incorrectly:

The, local market, has the freshest produce and meats in town. We don't need to use commas around the subject <em>local market</em>.

Takeko, a painting student offered to help with a sculpting demonstration.

We need to use commas around the appositive <em>a painting student</em>.

The store offers, many products, which can be personalized with your initials. No commas are needed.
