Which one of the following sentences is punctuated correctly?a. The sea, calmed, but no boats, left shore.
b. The sea calmed, but no boats left shore.
c. The sea calmed; but no boats, left shore.
d. The sea calmed but no boats left shore.

Answers

The correct answer is b. The sea calmed, but no boats left shore. Option a is incorrect because there are unnecessary commas between the noun and its verb ("sea, calmed" and "boats, left"). Option c is incorrect because when using a semi colon, the phrases on both sides of it should be able to stand alone. While "the sea calmed" can work by itself, "but no boats, left shore" cannot, thus rendering the semi colon incorrect. Additionally, there is an unnecessary comma between the noun "boats" and the verb "left." Finally, option d is incorrect because there should be a comma before the conjunction "but."
B-would be the answer because, when you are about to use but or anything you always put a comma before it

Read the sentence below and answer the question. " The man with the dark glasses glared at me from under them."
In the sentence above, the words “from under them” are a(n) _____.
~ verbal phrase
~ independent clause
~ appositive phrase
~ prepositional phrase

I'm not getting this stuff... plz help

Answers

Answer: Prepositional Phrase.

If it were a verbal phrase you would see a verb turned into a phrase like the verb "glare"  to "glaring" you might see "The man with dark glasses glared at me glaring under them." 

And independent clause is just a sentence. I must be able to stand alone. In this case "from under them" cannot stand alone as it lacks a subject or a verb.

And appositive phrase is where the nouns are used to describe other nouns. A noun is a person, place, thing or idea. Example "The man with the dark glasses glared at me, a foreigner."

A prepositional phrase is a phrase that begins with a preposition. Examples of prepositions are words like "over, under, to, from, up, down"
In this case prepositional phrase is your winner!

9. What is the setting of "The Little Match Girl"?A. A wintry city street
B. A place in the matchseller's imagination
C. The matchseller's attic home
D. The matchseller's grandmother's house

Answers

Actually, there are two correct answers:  The first, and in my option not the best option is A. A wintry city Street. The matchseller is trying to sell matches while being on the street, and then she dies from hypothermia (too low body temperature). However, I think that B. B. A place in the matchseller's imagination is a better option, as the majority of the story finds place in her imagination.
