Answer 1
Answer: The sentence that is punctuated correctly is: The beach cookout included lobster, crab, clams, and corn on the cob. The correct answer is option B. Why did this sentence only used commas and did not include a colon? This sentence does not need a colon because the series of items is introduced by the verb "included". Colons should only be used in the sentence if the items are not introduced by verbs and prepositions.

Find evidence in The Great Gatsby that supports Nick's belief and explain why this is in fact true or, argue the opposite, that Gatsby is a man not to be trusted and explain why.

Answers

Answer:

Nick is correct in believing that Gatsby is a man not to be trusted.

Explanation:

Nick Carraway is a character in "The Great Gatsby". Despite being Gatsby's neighbor and attending his parties, he doesn't know anything about Gatsby. He doesn't know how Gatsby got rich, what he does, who his family is, nothing. Nor does anyone in the neighborhood know anything about Gatsby.

For this reason, Nick has serious suspicions about Gatsby and the little he finds out about Gatsby during the narrative, makes him more suspicious, about Gatsby's position in relation to what is outside his objectives. For this reason, he is correct in not thinking that Gatsby is a reliable man.

Suggesting that the ELL use a thesaurus to use varied vocabulary

Answers

C. Conducting a mini-lesson on how to write a topic sentence and a conclusion

In this scenario, where the teacher has identified that the ELL's writing is unorganized, conducting a mini-lesson on how to write a topic sentence and a conclusion is the most appropriate next step. This addresses the specific issue of organization in the student's writing and provides guidance on fundamental elements of structuring a narrative. It offers practical support for improving the student's writing skills and is directly related to the observed problem. Options A, B, and D do not directly address the issue of organization in the writing as effectively as option C does.
