Correctly punctuate the following text. Add three colons and two semicolons. Thought for the Day; There's one thing that grinds

my gears more than anything else: rudeness. Whenever I see someone dropping a sweet wrapper on the floor, I want to perform a citizen's arrest for littering whenever a driver cuts me up, I want an officer on hand to haul them off in cuffs; and whenever I receive an email without a proper greeting or sign off, I want to be able to zap the sender with so much spam that their inbox will melt! You might think me harsh, but to misquote Shakespeare 'To be cruel is to be kind.' Indeed, the punishment must fit the crime that's the only way we'll be able to change these people's habits. So whenever you're about to scoff your snacks, pull out into traffic or click send, pause for a moment and remember the age-old maxim manners maketh man.

<u>Answer:</u>

Thought for the day; there's one thing that grinds my gears more than anything else: rudeness. Whenever I see someone dropping a sweet wrapper on the floor, I want to perform a citizen's arrest for littering; whenever a driver cuts me up, I want an officer on hand to haul them off in cuffs; and whenever I receive an email without a proper greeting or sign off, I want to be able to zap the sender with so much spam that their inbox will melt! You might think me harsh, but to misquote Shakespeare: 'to be cruel is to be kind.' Indeed, the punishment must fit the crime; that's the only way we'll be able to change these people's habits. So whenever you're about to scoff your snacks, pull out into traffic or click send; pause for a moment and remember the age old maxim: manners maketh man.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A colon is used in the places between the independent clauses where the second word or sentence is describing the first sentence. For example:

<u>there's one thing that grinds my gears more than anything else</u><u>:</u><u> rudeness.</u>

While the places where two independent clauses are closely linked, a semicolon is used. For example:

<u>Indeed, the punishment must fit the crime"</u><u>;</u><u>" that's the only way we'll be able to change these people's habits.</u>

In a paragraph of about 100 words, define "immediacy" and discuss how the excerpt is an example of immediacy.
pshichka [43]
<span>Immediacy is the ability of the counsellor/helper to use the immediate situation to invite the client to look at what is going on between them in the relationship. It often feels risky and unfamiliar. It implies the use of the present tense. It is one of the most powerful skills in counselling.
</span>
<span>In its fullest use, immediacy involves:
</span>
<span>• revealing how you are feeling/thinking/sensing;
</span>• sharing a hunch or sense of what the client (or helpee) may be feeling/thinking/sensing here and now (and possibly linking this to the client’s issue);
<span>• inviting the client/helpee to explore what is going on between you.</span>

Drag each description to the correct location on the table.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

1. Direct characterization

2. Indirect characterization

3. Direct characterization

4. Direct characterization

5. Indirect characterization

Explanation:

In direct characterization, the author simply tells the readers which personality traits a character possesses.

In indirect characterization, however, the author describes different situations to show us the personality of a character. This is achieved through the character's speech, thoughts, actions, effect on others, and appearance.

For instance, to describe Jolene, the author uses direct characterization, as he/she simply lists her character traits - attentive, helpful, etc. When it comes to Shana, however, the author describes her reaction when her dog disappeared, and it is our task to conclude which character traits she might possess.

Which words from the passage have negative connotations
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The words from the passage that have negative connotations

that support the author's point are, "chemicals", "disease", and "obesity"

Explanation:

From the following excerpt:

I want my food to be real food. I don't want my only option of nourishment to be chemicals disguised as food. Chemicals that could one day poison my body and lead me down a path of obesity and disease. And I want organic options to be affordably priced so everyone can afford to eat healthy. I believe that these are attainable goals if more people see the value in organic food.

The words "chemicals", "disease", and "obesity" describe a human condition that is clearly unhealthy and dangerous for everyone, this is because of the use of artificial components as ingredients of the food people consume every day.
