My boy ain't know nothing about no pick and shovel." What kind of language does Hughes use in these sentences? A. dialect, to add to the story's realism B. descriptive, to add to the story's sensory details C. figurative, to add to the story's layers of meaning D. symbolic, to add to the story's theme

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The kind of language that Hughes utilises is A. dialect, to add to the story's realism. It is dialect because you can imagine an uneducated, Southern African-American person talking. Someone that would likely be a character in "Gumption" would sound this way.

Which sentence uses punctuation correctly? A. They want an apartment, that has space, and charm. B. They want an apartment, that has space and charm. C. They want an apartment that has space, and charm. D. They want an apartment that has space and charm.

Answers

The correct answer is D - They want an apartment that has space and charm. A and B are incorrect, because the comma is placed at the wrong spot. B would be correct if there were three items there, for example - They want an apartment that has space, charm, and light. Then it would be correct. This way, since there are only two items enumerated here, you don't have to use a comma there.

Are you and Gordon coming to the meeting on Saturday? D. Have another topic or a different thesis statement occurred to you?

Answers

The correct answer is C, 'Are you and Gordon coming to the meeting on Saturday?' It is the only sentence which is correctly written. A should say: 'Aren't your mother....'. B should say: 'That dog and cat of yours were making...' And D: 'Has another topic...'.
So they are all incorrect and contain a mistake, whereas C doesn't have an errr in subject and verb agreement. 
B is incorrect. It's "That dog amd cat of yours WERE making us laugh that day".

D.

Answers

The answer is C: Their apartment has a lovely view of the park.
Here are the reasons why the other answers are incorrect:

A.Theyre apartment has a lovely view of the park. The word "Theyre" is not a correct word.

B. There apartment has a lovely view of the park.The word "There" is used to refer to a place, i.e They went THERE to get icecream.

D. They're apartment has a lovely view of the park. The word "They're" is short for They are, so thats why it doesn't make sense!
C. Their apartment has a lovely view of the park.
