Read the sentence below:My English teacher was very practical. She had a lot of comma sense

Which correctly explains the pun in this sentence and the word or words on which it is built?


English—ironic because of the error in the sentence

Very—a suggestion that the opposite is true

Practical—teachers have little practical knowledge

Comma sense—a play on the phrase common sense

Answers

Answer:

The sentence that correctly explains the pun in the sentence and the words on which it is built is the following one: Comma sense- a play on the phrase common sense.

Explanation:

The sentence above is talking about an English teacher, a person who has studied grammar and teaches it for a living. What is more, the person describing this teacher is saying that she is practical. That is why she has a lot of common sense. Therefore, the pun lies on the spelling of this phrase, "common sense", because instead of writing "common", the writer used "comma", which has a similar pronounciation. Besides, a punctuation mark such as a comma is part of the scope of study of an English teacher.
Since a pun can be referred to as "word play", comma sense is what correctly explains the pun.

What organizing principle or principles are used in the paragraph?

Answers

After a thorough research, there exists the same question with the paragraph.

Both petroleum and coal are made up of complex carbon-based molecules, and both originated with living creatures of some kind. Both are vital sources of energy for the modern world and both were formed by geologic processes over millions of years. However, petroleum was mainly formed from the remains of ocean-dwelling microorganisms. Coal, on the other hand, originated from decayed vegetation in ancient swamps and bogs. In any case, it took millions of years for both coal and oil to be produced. This is the case because it took that much time for overlying sediments to produce the unimaginable heat and pressure that would one day allow us to harvest these energy resources.

The paragraph uses 'Compare and Contrast' organization. It presented us the differences and similarities between coal and petroleum.

Which scenario portrays a round character?A. the slimy alien slithered up the side of the glass building, his toxic aura killing any human that neared him.

B. A vampire sat stone-still in the tree grove, wondering if his one love would accept him after she found out the truth.

C. the chicken stix manager called the employees together to share the disappointing news of the resturaunts closing.

D. a mother called her family to dinner, wondering who would be the first to arrive at the table.

Answers

The correct answer is the following: option B. "A vampire sat stone-still in the tree grove, wondering if his one love would accept him after she found out the truth" is the scenario that portrays a round character. In literature, a round character is a type of character that shows complexity and that undergoes some sort of development throughout the story line, sometimes surprising the reader. In the scenario presented in the question, the vampire character is a complex one, as he is wondering if her loved one will accept him for who he is. This not only shows complexity, but also is a surprising description of a vampire, who are commonly shown as cold and detached beings.

I'd probably say B., because a round character has a well developed/complex personality, and the vampire seems to have the most thoughts/emotions of the four choices.
