Explanation:

Which of the following statement about commas is false?Two independent clauses can be joined with a comma and a coordinating conjunction.
A comma introduces a series or list of items.
A comma is used after a conjunctive adverb or a transitional expression.
Commas are used to separate items in a series or list.

Answers

The FALSE option is B.

A list of items is NOT introduced by a comma but by a colon.

For example, "tomorrow I will buy some things at the supermarket: milk, meat, shampoo, etc."

The comma is correctly used to join two independent clauses (together with coordinating conjunction), to separate items in a series of a list (as stated in the example), and a comma is placed after transitional expressions such as "however".
A comma is used after a conjunctive adverb or a transitional expression.

PLEASE HURRY !! Read the two passages from A Raisin in the Sun. Passage 1: LINDNER: You see—in the face of all the things I have said, we are prepared to make your family a very generous offer . . . BENEATHA: Thirty pieces and not a coin less! LINDNER (putting on his glasses and drawing a form out of the briefcase): Our association is prepared, through the collective effort of our people, to buy the house from you at a financial gain to your family. RUTH: Lord have mercy, ain't this the living gall! WALTER: All right, you through? LINDNER: Well, I want to give you the exact terms of the financial arrangement— WALTER: We don't want to hear no exact terms of no arrangements. I want to know if you got any more to tell us 'bout getting together? LINDNER (taking off his glasses): Well—I don't suppose that you feel . . . WALTER: Never mind how I feel—you got any more to say 'bout how people ought to sit down and talk to each other? . . . Get out of my house, man. Passage 2: WALTER: Ain't nothing the matter with us. We just telling you 'bout the gentleman who came to see you this afternoon. From the Clybourne Park Improvement Association. MAMA: What he want? RUTH (in the same mood as BENEATHA and WALTER): To welcome you, honey. WALTER: He said they can't hardly wait. He said the one thing they don't have, that they just dying to have out there is a fine family of fine colored people! (To RUTH and BENEATHA.) Ain't that right! RUTH (mockingly): Yeah! He left his card— BENEATHA (handing card to MAMA): In case. MAMA reads and throws it on the floor—understanding and looking off as she draws her chair up to the table on which she has put her plant and some sticks and some cord. MAMA: Father, give us strength. (Knowingly—and without fun.) Did he threaten us? BENEATHA: Oh—Mama—they don't do it like that anymore. He talked Brotherhood. He said everybody ought to learn how to sit down and hate each other with good Christian fellowship. She and WALTER shake hands to ridicule the remark. MAMA (sadly): Lord, protect us . . . RUTH: You should hear the money those folks raised to buy the house from us. All we paid and then some. BENEATHA: What they think we going to do—eat 'em? RUTH: No, honey, marry 'em.

"I don't suppose that you feel"
"Ain’t this the living gall!"
"They don't do it like that anymore."
“All we paid and then some.”
"Lord, Lord, Lord . . ."

Answers

Answer:

"Ain’t this the living gall!"

"They don't do it like that anymore."

"Lord, Lord, Lord . . ."

Explanation:

These are the three options that develop the idea that racially charged confrontations can have a sudden and unpleasant impact. In the first case, the phrase "Ain’t this the living gall!" describes Ruth's reaction at facing this type of confrontation. She is amazed at seeing the lengths people will go to in order to avoid relationships with black people. The phrase "They don't do it like that anymore" describes how conflicts between white and black people have changed, but continue to be present. Finally, the phrase "Lord, Lord, Lord . . ." describes Mama's reaction at the awareness of being involved in this sort of conflict.

Answer:

"Ain’t this the living gall!"

"They don't do it like that anymore."

"Lord, Lord, Lord . . ."

Which quote expresses a tone of contempt? “He is going to take me home? He can drive? He can barely find his way out of the front door.” “He is in no way qualified for the position. Why did you suggest him? I need someone with at least five years of experience.”

Answers

"He is going to take me home? He can drive? He can barely find his way out of the front door."

Technically both could be considered to have a tone of contempt. However, the first one is definitely a stronger choice, because the second has a valid reason for the rejection, while the first quote is more like a straight out insult.
He can barely find his way out of the front door'' expresses contempt.Barely is the same as hardly.If he can't find his way out of the front door ,how will he arrive home?
