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>

Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence in this excerpt from “Behold the Brooklyn Bridge” best shows the narrator
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

We weren't quite sure what it all meant, except that for now, my sister Rachel and I were putting on our finest dresses and the shoes Mother had polished twice.

Explanation:

Being naive simply means that one lacks experience and knowledge or critical thinking regarding the world around him.

The narrator, being young and naive, can not fully understand all the difficulties that surrounded building of the bridge. All he can understand is that people said it couldn't be done, but they've done it and he sees that as something special, out of this world experience.

He shares other people's happiness and is satisfied that he and his family are able to walk on that special bridge without being able to comprehend all the effort and obstacles and sacrifices endured for the bridge, that represents national pride, to be built.

Read the line from "84" by Rabindranath Tagore.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer: The personification suggests that past happiness can last a long time.

Explanation: In this line, the personification consists of attaching the verb "sing" to the abstract concept of "joy," and its meaning is clear when we read that the voice of joy was sent "across an hundred years," i.e., happiness, according to the author, can last a century and is not limited to a single moment in the spring.

PLS REWRIGHT THIS INTO BETTER WORDS (AKA MORE FANCY)
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

There are many negatives about deporting illegal immigrants. Firstly, there are many families that lack connections with their parents due to deportation. This lack of connection can increase hate in a country. This can cause hate and anger in a person. People in Mexico usually try to find better locations to stay in. People want a place to call home. People want to get an opportunity that is in a different place than the past. All in all, there is a huge question in this situation. Who is wrong here the people who just want a better life or the people who separate innocent family's?

Hope this helps!!

To most effectively compare the two passages, the reader should compare the similarities in the wording. the origins of the two
Mumz [18]

The correct option is the first option: the similarities in the wording.

When you want to compare passages, you have to focus on similarities between them.

The other options are not correct because the origins of the authors and the dates the texts were written are not relevant when comparing PASSAGES. Moreover, the last option is not correct because it highlights the differences the passages have and the instruction states you should COMPARE the passages. This means doing the exact opposite of spotting differences.
