An elongated hyphen is a more formal way of introducing excess information by means of interjection. It’s only allowed if the information being supplied is critical to the text it interrupts.

The correct choice is D, where the text contained between the hyphens adds extra detail to the sentence. With the inclusion, we now know that Andrew will have to work extra hard to learn the guitar, because he doesn’t know how to read music in the first place. Choice B needs commas instead of hyphens, as it’s introducing a list. Choices A and C need to omit their hyphens entirely.

Write about a time when your best friend surprised you. What was the surprise? What was your reaction? Did you enjoy it? Do you
Dominik [7]

Answer:

The time when my best friend surprised me was some days after my birthday.

He brought a huge cake and completely shocked me, and that was early in the morning.

I was elated, excited, shocked, all forms of happiness and surprise.

Yes, I did really enjoyed it.

I definitely think it is good to sometimes give surprises to others. We may not know what is happening to them, but surprises make people forget their sadness and bring happiness, even if temporary.

Explanation:

On my birthday, my best friend surprised me with a birthday cake. He brought it and came to my home without any notice early in the morning.

The surprise was a success, for I genuinely loved not only the cake but also the gesture. I was utterly shocked that he would even do that, considering it was already some days after my real birthday. But the surprise was a welcome surprise.  

I think it is indeed good to give people surprises, for it makes the other person so happy. It was, at least for me. I never imagined that will happen to me, but it did and I really enjoyed it. And we never know what’s going on with people. So, surprises may bring temporary happiness, but it provides relief from the problems for some time, and that’s still better.

What does the line "Britannia droops the pensive head" imply?
iris [78.8K]
I feel like it's implying that, Britannia is in a very very weary deep thought process. 

I mean, droops can be referred to weary, and pensive means thought, or a deep thought. 
However, weary could be tired. This is completely an assumption.
