Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

He does not speak often but when he does, everyone listens.

Explanation:

The word "but" is a conjunction here. The general rule for conjunction and punctuation is we cannot write comma after a conjunction. So " He does not speak often but, when he does, everyone listens." is incorrect because in the sentence after the conjunction 'but' comma is used which is wrong.

So the correct form is " He does not speak often but when he does, everyone listens."

Answer:

This is a comma-splice. When you use a comma to connect two independent sentences you must accompany them with a conjunction (so, and, but, for). Run-on sentences had at least two independent clauses that are not properly connected.

Explanation:

Answer:

Sample Sentence: "This sentence contains a comma splice. It has two independent clauses joined only by a comma. One way to revise the sentence is to separate it into two sentences by changing the comma to a period and then capitalizing the word it to start a new sentence."

Which of the following describes stage directions? a. central message about life B. the meaning behind events and characters’ actions C. explanations about how the actors sound and behave D. writing that is vague and uncertain

Answers

C. explanations about how the actors sound and behave  This is the correct version.

Stage directions are made up of explanations. These give the play readers information about the attitude of the characters and this information makes the play more comprehensible.

These options are not right:

a. central message about life. ( Stage directions are present in a play. They are focused on actors' performance , not on philosophical reflections. A character from the play can give this message  about life).

B. the meaning behind events and characters’ actions. ( Stage directions do not analyse what happens in the play).

D. writing that is vague and uncertain. ( On the contrary, the stage directions have to be clear and certain to guarantee the comprehension of the play).
The answer is c. The stage directions tell you what the characters do and in what way they do it. It also explains what they sound like.
