Which word in the sentence, if any, should be followed by a colon? That house is painted in many colors forest green, pumpkin orange, and dark brown. A. There is no error in colon usage. B. colors C. in D. painted

Answers

A. The sentence works fine. one could argue B, but a colon is used to separate a run-on or show two complete thoughts in the same sentence, so arguably B would not work either.

Final answer:

The word 'colors' should be followed by a colon in the given sentence because it introduces a list related to an independent clause, as per the function of colons in English grammar.

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. The word 'colors' should be followed by a colon according to the use of colons in English grammar. The colon is used after an independent clause to introduce a list, quotation, or other idea directly related to the independent clause. In this case, the phrase 'That house is painted in many colors' is an independent clause, and 'forest green, pumpkin orange, and dark brown' is a list of colors related to this clause. So the sentence should read: 'That house is painted in many colors: forest green, pumpkin orange, and dark brown.'

Debacle is a sudden and violent collapse. The "debacle in Russia" refers to the Russian Revolution of 1917. Thus the time period of the story is the five or six years between 1917 or 1918 and 1923, a time at which Russian Communism reduced the privileged life of the noble to a level at or near the life of the Russian proletariat.

In Nathan’s creative writing class, he learned some writers make surprising, interesting, or amusing contradictions in their work. Which literary device did Nathan learn about?

Answers

The literary device that Nathan learned about is called a paradox. Paradox usually matches things that you wouldn't normally match because one negates the other. For example: I know one thing - that I know nothing. This sentence is self-contradictory, and thus it is paradoxical. Usually there is a funny or silly effect to this literary device.

The following passage exemplifies my writing style: I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody,
too? Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell! They ’d banish us, you know. How dreary to be
somebody! How public, like a frog To tell your name the livelong day To an admiring bog!!

Answers

The correct answer for this example is Emily Dickinson. She is the writer of this poem and i presume that you wanted to write "Emily Dickinson" instead of "Emily Wingspaninson" under A. 

This passage is from "I'm Nobody! Who are you?," which is a short lyric poem by Emily Dickinson (A).

The poem was first published in 1891 and is one of Dickinson's most popular poems. It addresses the feeling of not belonging and challenges authority. The poem not only exemplifies her writing style, but suggests that she preferred being anonymous to fame.
