When linking two independent clauses with a conjunctive adverb, a __________ precedes the conjunction.semicolon
comma
colon
period

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

semicolon

Explanation:

The semicolon is usually the correct punctuation mark to link independent clauses and avoid the mistake called comma splice (i.e., splicing independent clauses as if they were a single clause, resulting in confusing sentences).

Example: Markthought it would be a good idea to bring pizza; however, his wife had entirely different plans.

The two clauses are independent because they each contain a subject (underlined in the example) and a predicate (italicized in the example). The semicolon goes at the end of the first clause, followed by the conjunctive adverb, after which a comma is placed before the second clause.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. Plunder we took, and we enslaved the women, to make division, equal shares to all— but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly! Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous, fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep they butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle, feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running to call to arms the main force of Cicones. Which is the most effective paraphrase of this excerpt? When Odysseus and his men arrived on the island of Cicones, they enslaved women and feasted on the sheep and cattle they had butchered by the sea. Although Odysseus tells his men that they need to return quickly to the ship, the men are too busy dividing their findings into equal shares for everyone. Odysseus warns his men to return to the ship, but many of the men did not listen and instead ran inland to see what else they could take for themselves. The men continued their acts of greed despite Odysseus’s commands to stop and return to the ship, and the fugitives of Cicones ran inland to fetch help.

Answers

The correct answer is option D: The men continued their acts of greed despite Odysseus's commands to stop and return to the ship, and the fugitives of Cicones ran inland to fetch help.

This is the most effective paraphrase of the excerpt because it makes reference to the fact that Odysseus's men committed acts of greed ("Plunder we took ... My men were mutinous, fools, on stores of wine") despite Odysseus's commands to stop and return to the ship ('Back, and quickly! Out to sea again!') and it also mentions that the fugitives of Cicones ran inland to fetch help ("fugitives went inland, running to call to arms the main force of Cicones").
this shows that  Odysseus’s men dont respect him enough to listen to him

Problem 8. A professional racecar driver buys a car that can accelerate at +5.9 m/s. The racer decides to race against another driver in a souped-up stock car. Both start from rest, but the stock-car driver leaves 1.0 s before the driver of the racecar. The stock car moves with a constant acceleration of +3.6 m/s. A. Find the time it takes the racecar driver to overtake the stock-car driver. B. Find the distance the two drivers travel before they are side by side. C. Find the velocities of both cars at the instant they are side by side.

Answers

Answer:

A. After 3.57 seconds, the racecar will overtake the stock car

B. distance travelled = 37. 59 m

C. v₁ = 21.06 m/s

v₂ = 16.45 m/s

Explanation:

Using, S = ut + 1/2at² where s is displacement, u is initial velocity, t is time, a is acceleration.

Car 1 has acceleration a = +5.9 m/s²; Car 2 has acceleration a = +3.6 m/s²

A. The time for the two cars to be directly side by side be t.

Beyond time, t, Car 1 will overtake Car 2.

Since both cars are starting from rest, initial velocity, u, = 0

S = 1/2at²

For car 1, time t = t - 1.0 since it started 1.0 second behind car 2

s₁ = 1/2 * 5.9 * (t - 1)²

s = 2.95t² - 5.9t + 2.95

For car 2; s₂ = 1/2 * 3.6 * t² = 1.8t²

at time t, the displacement of the two cars will be equal; s₁ = s₂

2.95t² - 5.9t + 2.95 = 1.8t²

1.15t² - 5.9t + 2.95 = 0

solving for t using the quadratic formula

t = (5.9 ± 4.61)/2.3

t = 4.57 s or 0.56 s

since t cannot be less than 1.0 s, t = 4.57 s

Time for car 1 = (4.57 - 1.0) s = 3.57 s

Therefore, after 3.57 seconds, the racecar will overtake the stock car

B. The distance travelled by both cars, s = 1/2 * 3.6 * 4.57² = 37.59 m OR

s = 1/2 * 5.9 * 3.57² = 37.59 m

distance travelled = 37. 59 m

C. Using v² = u² + 2as; since u = 0, v² = 2as

velocity of car 1; v₁² = 2 * 5.9 * 37.59

taking square root of both sides

v₁ = 21.06 m/s

velocity of car, v₂² = 2 * 3.6 * 37.59

taking square root of both sides

v₂ = 16.45 m/s

Which word group contains a subject and a verb in agreement?everyone are
they talks
contestants are running
krumpers prepares User: Which agreement rule applies to a subject joined by or or nor?
use a plural verb
use a singular verb
make the verb agree with the subject closest to the verb
make the verb agree with the first subject listed

Answers

The word group that contains a subject and verb in agreement with each other is "contestants are running". 
A word group is a group of words where there is a grammatical relationship between the words. In our example: "contestants are running", the subject is "contestants" and the verb is "are running". 
The agreement rule that applies to a subject joined by or nor is: use a singular verb. A compound subject, i.e. a subject that has more than one item in it, and consists of a choice, for example, "The cat or the dog ran after the mouse." The compound subject in this sentence needs a singular verb.

Answer: C

Explanation:

according to the reading, which of the following events was a result of the Little Ice Age ? A. France was plagued with famine and medical epidemics. B. the Baltic Sea shoreline rose to great heights causing damage to crops. C. the widespread death of sea life caused countrywide economic distress in Greenland. D. Europe's agricultural productivity increased due to increased rainfall

Answers

We know that the Baltic Sea froze over as did many bodies of water, like rivers for example did as well. The vikings ate cows,grew crops, fished in the seas and experienced famine yes but we read trade was blocked by drifting icebergs so I don't think that is right. Europe did have a period of agricultural productivity due to increased rainfall but that was during the Medieval Warming period and happened prior to Little Ice Age! The answer is A as we know Europe especially bore the brunt of this extreme cooling period we call the Little Ice Age. We know that famine and plague run rampant through Europe! (A: France was plagued with famine and medical epidemics is the CORRECT answer)

Which research question would be most appropriate for a four to five-page research paper?Does Taco Bell or Garcia's make a better cheese quesadilla?Does Taco Bell or Garcia's offer a more nutritional menu?Which Taco Bell location has the best service?How many customers visited Garcia's last year?

Answers

I would have to say the question that would be most appropriate for a four to five-page research paper would be on the question, "Does Taco Bell or Garcia's offer a more nutritional menu". The reason for my answer is you can go into detail about what they both offer in a nutritional menu, long with which is better and why. To me this just seem like the question you could write more about. I really hope that helped you out some.

Answer: B. Does Taco Bell or Garcia's offer a more nutritional menu?
