Answer:

D. The acrobat jumped from platform to platform like Mario.

Explanation:

An allusion is a phrase used to bring something to mind without explicity mentioning it, in this case, the allusion to Mario, isn´t specifyin the Mario Bros from the nintendo games, it´s just saying mario and by the context that it was jumping from platform to platform you can infer what he is talking about.

Plagiarism quiz
GaryK [48]
Something is plagiarism if one takes material from another source and uses it without pointing toward that source, thus making it appear that it is originally written.

1. No, this is not plagiarism since she herself is the original writer, thus she is not stealing content from anybody else.<span>

2. According to Casey Berry of Sciences Ltd., "Only 6% of students wash their hands after class." This first choice is not plagiarism, since the student has cited the researcher Casey Berry, and has enclosed the directly copied statement in quotation marks. In contrast, the second choice mentions "a recent study" without any direct mention of who did the study, and it copies the conclusion verbatim without using quotation marks.

3. This is not plagiarism, since she places a hyperlink to the source, thus acknowledging that what she has written is not her own original material. However, this is considered bad practice, to simply link to a source without describing what it has done or which parts specifically you have taken from it. You would not probably be sued in court for plagiarism, but it is still advisable to describe what the source has done.

4. No, this is not plagiarism. He has used quotation marks for direct quotes. The paraphrased information does not need quotation marks. Hyperlinks and attributions have been provided for each, so there are no issues with this kind of writing.

5. Yes, this is plagiarism. The BlogMutt writer got information from another post (which may or may not have been original material, we do not know), and did not attribute that post. Furthermore, this write-up is for a customer, not merely for discussion in forums, so pretending that the information on the post is his own is not only plagiarism, but it is also business dishonesty as he is stealing someone's work and selling it to a customer as his own.</span>

Which sentence is written correctly? The, local market, has the freshest produce and meats in town. Takeko, a painting student o
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.
