Answer:

A). To emphasize particular information.

D). To indicate the importance of certain ideas.

E). To set off nonessential elements containing commas.

Explanation:

Dashes are illustrated as the punctuation mark that serves to mark the separation between the words or phrases or sentences and propose a sudden or abrupt transition in thought. These are employed for a variety of other purposes like highlighting or signifying a claim or idea.

As per the question, dashes are employed to 'emphasize an information' as it helps to omit the unnecessary description. Then, it also aids to 'indicate the importance of particular ideas' as these are stronger than a comma or hyphen, and lastly, it also helps to 'eliminate or set off nonessential elements carrying commas' and present the relevant information in the most effective manner. Thus, <u>options A, D, and E</u> are correct.

Hello there.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. "Hear me, my lords and captains of Phaeacia! By now you've had our fill of food well-shared and the lyre too, our loyal friend at banquets...test ourselves in contests..." Why did the speaker above want the bard to stop singing? He noticed that the songs upset Odysseus. He was tired of sitting and wanted to participate in the games. He had a headache and couldn’t listen to the music any longer. He had eaten too much and wanted to feast to end.<span>

How does the character of the talking skull reveal the author's point of view in the story
posledela

Answer:

The Talking Skull

Explanation:

In Donna L. Washington's "The Talking Skull-A fairy tale by Cameroon," the theme involves how you might be bothered by speaking too much about yourself and talking too loud. In order to teach the lesson, the author utilities the character of the talking skull. A man who sees himself as a philosopher and who speaks and talks about topics that are just essential to him, but who nobody else needs to know, discovers a skull. In other words, the skull responds directly to what triggered her death, "Talking."
