Help Please!!!! Proofread This Excerpt From A Review Of The Film The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. Which

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the punctuation error is in the third sentence;

'This struggle plays out chiefly through the protagonist; Charlie, who anchors the film brilliantly.'

Just after the word 'protagonist', the author uses a semi-colon (;). A semi-colon is used to link two separate clauses that have similar ideas together. It turns two clauses into one.

In this situation, the semi-colon is not doing that, because that would imply that if we were to separate the "two clauses", it would look like this:

"This struggle plays out chiefly through the protagonist. Charlie, who anchors the film brilliantly."

This wouldn't make sense. Instead of a semi-colon, the author should've used a comma!

Excerpt from: Nadia's Stage Fright by Clark Benson
When the big night finally arrived, Nadia prepared backstage. She watched her classmates display their own various talents. Then came the moment that both excited and terrified her; she was up next. The audience's applause sounded like ocean waves and made her feel welcome. Still, she could feel those butterflies fluttering in her belly, and she felt her palms start to sweat. Nadia had already performed her routine backstage, but it seemed as if it hadn't worked this time! She sat down on the piano bench and looked at the black and white keys, which seemed unfamiliar now.

D.Is it fair that some eat like kings while many live on crumbs?​

Answers

Answer:

D. Is it fair that some eat like kings while many live on crumbs?

Explanation:

I used the process of elimination.

Answer A. isn't specifically about food, whereas this cartoon seems to make a great display of it.

B. and C. don't make sense.

D. makes sense because we can see that the people below are hungry and want the food too, so they are holding their plates up waiting for the crumbs to fall down. The food is turkey, which is expensive-and a whole turkey too! The person eating it is well dressed and the people below are not dressed as nicely. Therefore, I believe this cartoon is trying to make the viewers think about whether it is fair or not that some eat like kings while many live on crumbs.

Hope this helps!

They are already talking about you as if you're gone...

writing and argument paper on poetry and need to know if you get taught poetry in high school and whats expected from you when being taught it.

Answers

Yes, at my high school, we get taught poetry. Not every school or teacher is going to teach it in the same way however. We read a couple of Shakespeare plays, and we are expected to read them out loud in a class setting. The teacher usually asks the students what the phrase or sonnet means, because they want us to use critical thinking skills. The teachers will teach us and tell us what it means as well. In my high school, we also read a lot of poetry that isn’t Shakespeare, and we are usually asked to use our critical thinking skills to reflect and figure out what the author was saying. Sometimes, my teachers will have us write our own poems using the technique that the author wrote the poem in. All in all, it’s just a lot of thinking and reflecting, and Simone times there are connections to current issues as well. :)

In the passage, which detail best supports the central idea?Food SafetyMany people often ask "How do I know if foods in the freezer are safe?" Every year, thousands of callers to the U.S. Department ofAgriculture (USDA) Meat and Poultry Hotline aren't sure about the safety of items stored in their own home freezers. The confusion seems tobe based on the fact that few people understand how freezing protects food. That's why it is important to educate oneself on how to freezefood safely. The more knowledge people have about their foods, the more they can protect themselves from illnesses caused by spoiled food.One thing to remember is that food stored constantly at 0 degrees Fahrenheit will always be safe. Only the quality suffers with lengthyfreezer storage. Freezing keeps food safe by slowing the movement of molecules, causing microbes to enter a dormant stage. Freezingpreserves food for extended periods. It prevents the growth of microorganisms that cause both food spoilage and foodborne illness.A way to preserve the quality of food is to pay attention to the packaging. Proper packaging helps maintain quality and prevent freezerburn. It is safe to freeze meat or poultry directly in its original packaging: however, this type of wrap is permeable to air. This may causequality to finish over time. For prolonged storage, overwrap these packages as you would any food for long-term storage. It is not necessaryto rinse meat and poultry. Freeze unopened vacuum packages as is. If you notice that a package has accidentally been torn or has openedwhile food is in the freezer, the food is still safe to use; merely overwrap or rewrap it.Because freezing keeps food safe almost indefinitely, recommended storage times are for quality only. To determine the quality, first checkfor odor. Some foods will develop a rancid or off odor when frozen too long and should be discarded. Some may not look picture perfect orbe of high enough quality to serve alone but may be edible; use them to make soups or stews. which is an example of growth and decay:f(x)=250(0.87)xf(x) = 15 (1.25)x Por favor aydeme es para hoy :( Why does the moon appear to change its shape as seen from earth?
