The answer is:

“Tony cooked dinner, and I made the salad, but Mike just ate.”  

As stated by William Strunk, independent clauses must not be separated by a comma. However, he suggests placing a comma before a conjunction when introducing an independent clause. Therefore, the first two clauses are joined by a comma and the conjunction <em>and,</em> while the last clause is separated by a comma before the conjunction <em>but.</em>

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Betru asked Tedla what he was doing there because he hadn't seen him since June.

Tedla replied that he just came back from his holiday in Nekemte

Betru asked if he enjoyed it and Tedla replied that he loves Ireland and the people in Nekemte were so friendly.

Betra then asked if he went to Shambu and Tedla replied that it was his first trip. He said he could show Betra some pictures tomorrow if he was free.

Betru replied that he would arrange some things tomorrow but he was free tonight.

Tedla suggested he comes to his place and asked what time they should meet.

Betru said he would be there by eight and asked if it was alright?

Explanation:

Direct speech means reporting a speech by repeating the words of the speaker verbatim.

Indirect speech is expressing the words of a speaker without explicitly quoting or repeating the words.

Some simple steps in changing direct speech to indirect speech are:

  • Remove all inverted commas or quotation marks.
  • Finish the sentence with a period.
  • Change the verbs in the inverted commas to the corresponding tense.

Which statement best describes the use of sound devices in the lines? Both excerpts use alliteration as a sound device. Both exc
Lina20 [59]

The statement that best describes the use of sound devices in the lines is the one that reads as follows: "Excerpt 1 contains alliteration, and excerpt 2 contains onomatopeia".

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. In the first example, the sound /t/ is repeated in "turbulency tells". On the other hand, onomatopeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named. In the second example, there are "moaning" and "groaning", both verbs relating to sounds and being formed from the sound they are associated with.
