b. Yard work—for example, raking leaves and planting shrubs—fills many of our autumn weekends.
c. Open the windows—to let the breeze in—and the paint will dry fast.
d. I intend to—paint that bookcase tomorrow—help me remove all the books.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: I'd say the correct answer is A, because it seems to be the only one where dashes are used correctly.
C and D are obviously incorrect.
B seems correct, but it is not because of 'for example'. If it weren't for that, it would be correct.

Read this excerpt from the speech "Cause of the Great War" delivered by British Prime Minister David Lloyd George after World War I. Which statement accurately describes the use of rhetorical devices in this excerpt? We begged Germany not to attack Belgium, and produced a treaty, signed by the King of Prussia, as well as the King of England, pledging himself to protect Belgium against an invader, and we said, "If you invade Belgium we shall have no alternative but to defend it." The enemy invaded Belgium, and now they say, "Why, forsooth, you, England, provoked this war." It is not quite the story of the wolf and the lamb. I will tell you why —because Germany expected to find a lamb and found a lion.

The time was in the 1720s. Colonists were living in South Carolina. They petitioned England. They wanted forts built to their south. What is the best way to combine these sentences into one sentence?In the 1720s, colonists who were living in South Carolina. Petitioned England, They wanted forts built to their south.
Colonists living in South Carolina in the 1720s petitioned England because they wanted forts built to their south.
In the 1720s, colonists who were living in South Carolina petitioned England because they wanted forts built to their south.
In the 1720s, colonists living in South Carolina petitioned England to build forts to their south.

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is "In the 1720s, colonists living in South Carolina petitioned England to build forts to their south".  

Explanation: The last option is the correct one because it combines the four sentences provided into one sentence and does not include any grammar mistake. On the other hand, the first option ("In the 1720s, colonists who were living in South Carolina. Petitioned England, They wanted forts built to their south") fails to combine the four sentences into one and the second and third options present grammar mistakes: in both cases, the verb "petitioned" is not followed by an object. In contrast, the last option is free from grammar mistakes since the verb "petitioned" is followed by the preposition "to" and has an object ("to build forts to their south").  
In 1720, colonist living in South Carolina petitioned England to build forts to their south.
