Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Comma splice, corrected by using a semicolon

Explanation:

In grammar, the comma splice is a common mistake and it occurs when a comma is placed in order to separate two independent sentences which are sentences that express a complete idea, contain a subject and a predicate and do not need another sentence to be complete. This is considered as a punctuation mistake because independent or complete sentences should be separated by using a semicolon (;) instead of a comma. This is the case of sentence 1 "Ladybugs are crafty creatures, when they feel threatened, they pull their legs and antennae under their shells like a turtle" in which the two independent clauses "Ladybugs are crafty creatures" and "when they feel threatened, they pull their legs and antennae under their shells like a turtle" have separated using a comma and not a semicolon, mistake that is corrected in sentence 2. Therefore, the type of error that sentence 1 has and the way is corrected in sentence 2 is "Comma splice, corrected by using a semicolon".

Answer 2

Answer: B. Two independent clauses, 'ladybugs are crafty creatures and when they feel threatened, they pull their legs' and 'antennae under their shells like a turtle' , cannot be separated using a comma. This is called a comma splice.

Which technique does Billy Joel use to establish unity between the lines?

Answers

When you ask what technique Billy Joel uses to "establish unity between the lines", I assume you're talking about "We Didn't Start the Fire"? I assume this because it's one of the most infamously deconstructed songs in both History and English classes.

Billy Joel uses two major literary tactics in this song that establish unity and make it so catchy and memorable. First of all, Joel plays off the beat of the song by singing the lyrics in a linear fashion (like a shopping list). Notice the music itself doesn't change between the chorus and the rest of the song.

Secondly, and more importantly, he take advantage of the allusion in his lyrics. Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" is full of references to real events and icons of history. An allusion is literally just a reference to something that you could just understand.
