Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. At least the youngest person in the office has some sense: "'I think, sir, he's a little luny,' replied Ginger Nut, with a grin."

Explanation:

I took the test and got it correct

Answer 2

The sentence includes a correctly punctuated direct quote "At least the youngest person in the office has some sense: "'I think, sir, he’s a little luny,' replied Ginger Nut, with a grin."Thus the correct answer is C.

What is punctuation?

Punctuation is the element of English grammar used to provide meaning to the sentence by separating individual phrases with the help of punctuation marks.

These punctuation marks include the use of full stops, commas, semicolons, colons, speech marks, and many more to separate the text and show clear meaning to the reader.

The sentence "At least the youngest person in the office has some sense: "'I think, sir, he’s a little luny,' replied Ginger Nut, with a grin." uses punctuation correctly as it made proper use of a colon to present a dialogue along with proper structure.

Therefore, option C is appropriate.

7. When comparing and contrasting similar myths from different cultures you might want to look at:


the setting and mood


the conflicts and plot


the hero and villain in both


all of the above

Answers

Answer:

all of the above

Explanation:

All the elements that make up a myth, present cultural concepts of the people who created it. In this way, we can have very important cultural revelations to understand a civilization. When we compare two myths of different peoples, it is impossible that we do not compare the culture and beliefs that these people presented through their stories. For this reason, you must look at all the elements of the myth, before drawing conclusions. In that case we must look at the scenario and the climate, the conflicts, the plot, the heroes and the villains.

Answer:all of the above took the exam

Explanation:

What is the best way to be an active listener?

Take notes about what others say, and state your opinion at every possible opportunity.

Look around the room, and begin talking as soon as there is something you want to say.

"Do I really have to hold your hand?" Leon said. "No, I guess not" Monroe responded. "I guess we can just get lost in the dark, and come back lonely and hungry in a few months!". "Wow. that's an image right there Monroe" Leon said, In disbelief, "you sure have a way with words". "Yeah, and I'm not planning on becoming a hobo so let's go!".
